Water vapor makes up 75% of all forcing and roughly 5% of our atmosphere.
Carbon Dioxide makes up 5% to 20% of all forcing and 0.038% of our atmosphere.
The remaining gases are Methane, Ozone and virtually any other gas made up of three or more atoms. They make up the difference.
The Greenhouse gases are: * water vapor * carbon dioxide * methane * nitrous oxide * ozone * CFCs
Yes, bio-degrading garbage produces methane, a dangerous greenhouse gas. Many landfills around the world are trying to capture this methane and use it to generate electricity. Not many are doing it successfully. Pig farms are trying to do the same with their large amounts of animal waste.
Carbon Dioxide IS a 'greenhouse gas' ! There are still too many coal-fired power stations that are releasing tons of CO2 into the atmosphere !
The greenhouse effect causes the earth to keep naturally warm. This has gone on for millions of years.The enhanced greenhouse effect happens because humans started burning fossil fuel and cutting down trees. This meant that more carbon dioxide started building up in the atmosphere, too much for the natural carbon cycle to deal with. This extra build up of greenhouse gas is causing global warming.
There are many gases in the atmosphere. The two most common gases found in the atmosphere however, are nitrogen and oxygen.

Some causes for climate change would be mostly due to human activity. After cars and factories were made this has caused lots of pollution. many green house gases have been let out into our atmosphere. green house gases are gases that get trapped in earth's atmosphere that help maintain earth's temperature. Although if there are too much green house gases in our atmosphere such as carbon dioxide, earth's temperature will begin to rise. this process is called global warming.
The average Household emits 14 tonnes of green house gas a year
Japan is effected by how many people live there. its people are using to many gases which has let off to many Green House Gases. The Green House Gases have gone up into the Ozone layer and is slowly eating away at the layer which is letting in UV radiation. Japan and China are two of the bestest countries and are the most unclean and unsafe countries you could live in.Japan has alot of negative effect.
The climate will tend to get warmer. This will be good for some and bad for (many) others.

The air contains approximately 78 percent of nitrogen, 21 percent of oxygen, 0.93 percent of argon, and very small amounts of other gases. These other gases include carbon dioxide, neon, helium, and xenon.
It is critical to note and know that there are many more green house gases than just CO2.A frightening example is the gas used to produce our modern TV screens - 2 to 3 percent of it is not recovered.Methane - huge but not to do with Plants except that Cellulose is the animal's food.Plants may be our salvation - by the newly devised management of mostly agricultural lands - , their main Function is to be the removal of CO2 from Our Very Thin Atmosphere.The continued existence of the Oceanic Biospheredepends upon it.

Short Answer: No. Greenhouse gases allow energetic radiation to pass unaffected, but moderate / slow the passage of infrared. Thinning of the ozone layer is called depletion, and is a different symptom. The green house effect is an observed phenomenon caused by many different types of gases. These gases include carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, methane, and more. These gases trap heat from the sun within our atmosphere causing temperatures to rise on earth, much like a green house. They do not necessarily deplete ozone.Chlorofluorocarbons are gases that when released, deplete the ozone layer. These gases are usually found in refrigerators and air conditioners due to their ability to be easily compressed into liquids. They also used to be found in aerosol cans but environmental awareness about this issue has now made that illegal.
