The four main global warming gases are:
The four primary greenhouse gases are:
The difference is that a greenhouse gas traps heat, which helps regulate earth's temperature, but is not necessarily contributing to increasing temperatures. "Global warming" gases are those whose atmospheric increase are NOT primarily from natural sources. Since this question has been merged and combined with others, the difference seems appropriate to preserve her
Another view:Water vapor is the most important gas for both issues according to the IPCC's models. The current increase of CO2 is not enough to cause the driving of temperatures by itself and could not explain the warming alone. Water vapor is added, at increasing levels and with only a positive feedback in order to make this temperature increase a man made possibility. Without the increased water vapor, the issue would need to be from sources other than man induced CO2. Even the IPCC admits that the issues with water vapor are not well understood in their 2007 addition of the climate report but are very important for the overall warming. This increased water vapor also has a negative feedback that is ignored by most models and why the IPCC predictions are far higher than the temperature we are experiencing since 2007.
The four main greenhouse gases that support the natural greenhouse effect are:
The difference is that a greenhouse gas traps heat, which helps regulate earth's temperature.
greenhouse gases in Earth's atmosphere include water vapor, methane, nitrous oxide, and carbon dioxide
The four main greenhouse gases are ozone, carbon dioxide, methane, and nitrous oxide. These gases are said to responsible for the world wide climate change taking place now.
Carbon Dioxide (CO2), Methane (CH4), Nitrous Oxide (N2O), and Ozone (O3).
The four main greenhouse gases are Water Vapor (up to 90%) Carbon Dioxide(5 to 25%), Methane, and Fluorocarbons.

CO2 and H2O
The most abundant greenhouse gas is water vapor. Although not as potent as other greenhouse gases pound for pound, by sheer volume water vapor is the key greenhouse gas. Carbon dioxide is the second largest (by volume) greenhouse gas. Methane and nitrous oxide complete the four primary greenhouse gases, but there are only trace amounts of these in our atmosphere. Since water vapor is about 4% of the atmosphere, and CO2 concentrations are 400 parts per million, 0.04/0.0004 = 1%. In other words, CO2 is roughly 1% of the greenhouse gas.
Four ways that air pollution affects the environment:When greenhouse gases build up in earth's atmosphere, they trap heat, so when more greenhouse gases build up, more heat is trapped, causing global warming.NOx and SOx combine with water to create acid precipitation.Ethylene affects plant growth.Hydrogen Sulfide is a toxic air pollutant.
Nitrogen, Oxygen, Carbon Dioxide and Neon are the four main gases in order of percentage.
There are several substances that cause the greenhouse effect and they are called greenhouse gases. The main greenhouse gases are: CO2 (Carbon Dioxide) N2O (Nitrous Oxide) O3 (Ozone) CH4 (Methane) CFC (Chlorofluorocarbon) H2O (Water Vapor) A: There are four primary greenhouse gases. They are carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide, and fluorocarbons. There are others, but these are the ones of greatest concern.
Additional gases are causing an enhanced (or accelerated) greenhouse effect which is causing global warming.Glaciers and ice caps are melting.Sea levels are rising.Storms are becoming more violent and destructive.

CO2 and H2O
A greenhouse gas (often abbreviated as GHG) is a gas that both absorbs and emits radiation in the infrared range, commonly called thermal radiation or heat. When present in the atmosphere, these gases trap radiation in the form of heat, causing a warming process called the greenhouse effect. The presence of four major greenhouse gases, namely water vapor (H2O), carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4) and nitrous oxide (N2O) in the Earth's atmosphere keeps the average temperature of 15º C (59º F), whereas without the greenhouse effect the average temperature would be a frosty -18º C (0º F).
There are 5 major greenhouse gasses: water vapour, carbon dioxide (also known as CO2), methane, nitrous oxide and ozone. Water vapour is the strongest greenhouse gas but it happens largely naturally (ie ocean water evaporates when the sun shines on it). The other four are largely anthropogenic (man-made) greenhouse gasses. See chart linked below for detailed information on greenhouse gasses (GHG's) and their contribution to the greenhouse effect.
This flower cannot be grown outside a greenhouse. The Earth is starting to worry about the Greenhouse Effect. There are four large greenhouses in our Botanical Gardens.
There are four different greenhouse emissions that help to reduce the emissions on the earth. These four include methane, carbon dioxide, fluorinated gases and nitrous oxide.
The most abundant greenhouse gas is water vapor. Although not as potent as other greenhouse gases pound for pound, by sheer volume water vapor is the key greenhouse gas. Carbon dioxide is the second largest (by volume) greenhouse gas. Methane and nitrous oxide complete the four primary greenhouse gases, but there are only trace amounts of these in our atmosphere.
