Does pollution cause greenhouse gases which cause global warming?

Answer 1

That's about right. Extra carbon dioxide and methane emissions are disrupting the balance of the carbon cycle, polluting the normal atmosphere, if you like. These added greenhouse gases capture more heat, because the carbon cycle can't get rid of them. The extra heat is causing global warming.

Answer 2

Additional levels of greenhouse gases, particularly carbon dioxide and methane, are causing global warming and climate change. Any emissions of these gases caused by human activity is classed as pollution.

Answer 3

Briefly:

Greenhouse gases capture heat rising from the earth. This warms the atmosphere and also the earth.

In more detail:

The Earth receives energy from the Sun mostly in the form of visible light and nearby wavelengths. About 50% of the sun's energy is absorbed at the Earth's surface. Like all bodies with a temperature above absolute zero, the Earth's surface radiates energy in the infrared range.

Greenhouse gases in the atmosphere absorb most of the infrared radiation emitted by the surface and pass the absorbed heat to other atmospheric gases through molecular collisions. The greenhouse gases also radiate in the infrared range. Radiation is emitted both upward, with part escaping to space, and downward toward Earth's surface.

The surface and lower atmosphere are warmed by the part of the energy that is radiated downward, making our life on earth possible.

Answer 4

Pollution can contribute to the production of greenhouse gases, such as carbon dioxide and methane, which are major contributors to global warming. Activities like burning fossil fuels and deforestation release these gases into the atmosphere, trapping heat and causing the Earth's temperature to rise.

Answer 5

Because the gases in pollution like CO2,CFC,etc... lead to greenhouse effect.
