For global climate change the issue is burning fossil fuels to produce energy for a huge number of purposes (heating, industry, transportation, electrical energy, etc.). Unless countermeasures are in place every time that fossil organic material is oxidized (burnt) the products end up as CO2 and other harmful gasses (SO2, NO3 etc) in the atmosphere.
Note that it is not only the atmosphere that takes all this anthropogenic CO2 (man-made CO2), it also enters the ocean where it is present as dissolved CO2, CO3-- and HCO3- and leads to a phenomenon called ocean acidification, which is extremely harmful to all organisms that produce carbonate shells or edifices like corals and mussels.
Because this CO2 has been hidden underground for 300 million years, releasing it now means the carbon cycle cannot deal with it, and it is building up in the atmosphere causing global warming and climate change.
Greenhouse gases trap heat in the Earth's atmosphere by absorbing and re-emitting infrared radiation. This leads to an increase in the overall temperature of the Earth, a phenomenon known as the greenhouse effect. As the concentration of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere rises, more heat is trapped, causing global temperatures to increase.
The greenhouse effect warms the gases in the atmosphere.
The process by which gases hold heat in the atmosphere is called the greenhouse effect. This occurs when certain gases in the atmosphere trap heat from the sun, leading to an increase in temperature on Earth. Some of the key greenhouse gases include carbon dioxide, methane, and water vapor.
Greenhouse gases trap heat from the sun in Earth's atmosphere, creating a "greenhouse effect". When the concentration of greenhouse gases increases, more heat is trapped, leading to an increase in global temperature. This phenomenon is a key driver of climate change.
Of course, greenhouse gases keep the Earth from being one large popsicle. The newest studies of the atmosphere indicate that the atmosphere is pretty stable, now. The reason is that nearly all of the greenhouse gases are water vapor mostly evaporated from the oceans.
No, greenhouse gases do not reduce the hole. In the contrary, they increase the size of the hole.
The greenhouse gases are increasing global warming.

When greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide increase in the atmosphere then the temperature rises. Greenhouse gases capture heat rising from the surface of the earth and prevent it escaping to space.

Increasing the CO2 concentration in the atmosphere
The glass or plastic walls of a greenhouse represent greenhouse gases in the atmosphere by trapping heat energy inside, much like how greenhouse gases in the Earth's atmosphere trap heat.
They slow the loss of heat
