The predominant Green House gas is Water Vapor which makes up 2 to 5% of our atmosphere.
The second most common is CO2 which makes up 0.03% This is arguably up 0.007% over the past 150 years. It is also much lower today then in many periods in history.
The rest are in the parts per billion range.
Water vapor is the only one that is of consequence. The rest make up less forcing then the variance of water vapor.

Too much of which gas in the atmosphere is causing global warming?
Too much carbon dioxide in the atmosphere is causing global warming. The natural carbon cycle is overwhelmed and can't move out all the extra gas. The extra gas is turning the natural greenhouse effect into an accelerated greenhouse effect, which is causing global warming.
How does too much CO2 in the atmosphere effect the climate?
CO2 is a greenhouse gas. Too much CO2 in the atmosphere will make the climate hotter because it acts like a 'greenhouse' or blanket as it insulates heat in the atmosphere. CO2 allows heat to pass into the atmosphere but it doesn't allow heat to pass out into space. Too much CO2 in the atmosphere would trap the heat in the atmosphere, causing climate change.
Is a greenhouse gas that traps heat in the atmosphere?
Carbon dioxide (CO2).
What is the correlation of CO2 and temperature?
CO2 is a greenhouse gas. The more CO2 in the atmosphere, the more greenhouse effect we will get. The greenhouse effect is when our atmosphere reflects heat trying to leave Earth back to it. We need some of this heat back, but if we get too much of the greenhouse effect, global temperatures will keep rising higher and higher.
Which gas traps heat into the atmosphere?
Water vapour and carbon dioxide are the main greenhouse gasses in the atmosphere
What greenhouse gases do in the atmosphere?
Greenhouse gases keep the earth warm.Too much greenhouse gas is causing global warming.
How do you know whether a gas is greenhouse gas i.e how a greenhouse gas is different from non-greenhouse gas?
A greenhouse gas is a gas (with at least three atoms) that traps heat inside the earth's atmosphere. Greenhouse gases include carbon dioxide and methane. It is important that some heat is trapped inside our atmosphere - otherwise the earth would freeze. But too much heat has a negative impact on the climate.
What does CH4 do in the atmosphere?
It is a powerful greenhouse gas.
What is the greenhouse gas in the photosynthesis reaction?
The greenhouse gas absorbed from the atmosphere by the photosynthesis reaction is carbon dioxide (CO2).
What is necessary for a planet to have the greenhouse effect?
Gas and/or Atmosphere
What does Methane (CH4) in the atmosphere do?
It is a powerful greenhouse gas.
What gas in the Earth atmosphere is classified as Greenhouse Gas?
CO2, H2O, methane.
Too much of which gas in the atmosphere is causing global warming?
Too much carbon dioxide in the atmosphere is causing global warming. The natural carbon cycle is overwhelmed and can't move out all the extra gas. The extra gas is turning the natural greenhouse effect into an accelerated greenhouse effect, which is causing global warming.
What does methane do to the environment?
methane is a greenhouse gas .. it locks the sun's energy in the atmosphere
What is a greenhouse gas that heats the atmosphere?
Carbon dioxide (CO2).
How is earth atmosphere affected by solar energy?
The earth's atmosphere is affected by solar energy because the energy creates a greenhouse effect. When the radiation of the sun makes the earth too warm, there will be too much greenhouse gas that gets trapped in the atmosphere.
What process caused the atmosphere's composition to change so much?
Burning fossil fuel releases carbon dioxide, a greenhouse gas which is building up in the atmosphere.
