There are many gasses that don't cause air pollution, such as nitrogen and any noble gasses such as argon (among others). They are rarely discussed because they are rare or simply because things that do nothing and aren't causing problems are generally ignored.
Any gas with 3 or more atoms can be a greenhouse gas, (as at least three atoms are necessary for the gas to vibrate and capture the infrared light) so gases made up of one atom (Hydrogen, H) or two atoms (Oxygen, O2) are not greenhouse gases.
Wind and geothermal energy contribute very little to global warming. Solar panels lower earth's albedo, but they cover such a small portion of the surface they don't contribute much. The energy generated by solar power significantly offsets the global warming generated by an equal wattage of coal oxidation.
Water backed up behind hydroelectric dams also tend to decrease earth's albedo, but the net effect again is pretty minimal.
Nuclear power consumes a measure of fuel in the extraction and processing of heavy radioisotope ores, but even small quantities generate considerable amounts of power.
Any gas with fewer than three atoms will NOT warm up in the atmosphere. Oxygen (O2) is an example.
Oxygen, nitrogen etc have fewer than three atoms in their molecule and so do NOT contribute to the greenhouse effect.
Oxygen, or any gas with fewer than three molecules. All greenhouse gases have at least three molecules (carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4)). This allows them to capture the heat.
The greenhouse effect warms the gases in the atmosphere.
Yes, greenhouse gases like water vapor, carbon dioxide, methane, ozone and others all contribute to absorb the reflected heat and prevent it going back out to space.
The trapping by the greenhouse gases of the long wavelength radiation (infrared) leads to more heating and a higher resultant temperature.

The greenhouse effect
The greenhouse gases contribute to the greenhouse effect. Greenhouse gases are inescapable.

Gases are many that can contribute to ozone. Greenhouse gases to be mentioned here.
It is supposed that greenhouse gases contribute to global warming.
i think that it can, because cows produce the most methain and that does contribute to the greenhouse gases. but other things can make green house gases. like humans, dogs, cats, and machines. :)
Green house gases can cause great pollution to the atmoshprere and that leads to global warming and that can make life on earth extremely hard.

Greenhouse Effect
People contribute daily to greenhouse effect. They do by littering and wasting etc.
it allows solar radiation to penetrate to the surface!
