CFCs (chlorofluorocarbons) are greenhouse gases that are entirely made by human endeavors.
All other greenhouse gases (carbon dioxide (CO2), methane CH4, etc occur in nature as well as being produced by man.

Which gas accounts for the majority of the anthropogenic greenhouse effect?
carbon dioxide
What are anthropogenic greenhouse gases?
Anthropogenic means made by humans, so the greenhouse gases caused by man are mostly carbon dioxide and some methane, and some CFCs.
Which gas is known as the third greenhouse gas?
Nitrous Oxide is the third greenhouse gas.........
Is ammonia NH3 a greenhouse gas?
No, Ammonia is not considered a greenhouse gas.
What is another name for enhanced greenhouse effect?
The greenhouse effect is the natural process by which greenhouse gases keep the earth's temperature at a comfortable level suitable for human existence. The enhanced greenhouse effect is the increase in greenhouse gases that is leading to global warming. The term "enhanced greenhouse effect" is also referred to as the "anthropogenic greenhouse effect" and is the idea that humans may have an effect on global climate. It is also referred to as the "runaway greenhouse effect".

What are five anthropogenic causes of the greenhouse effect?
Burning fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas). This releases carbon dioxide emissions, a greenhouse gas.Deforestation, cutting down forests. Growing trees and plants are the only things that remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere.Cement and concrete production release carbon dioxide emissions.Cattle and other ruminants belch methane, another of the greenhouse gases.Rice paddy farming releases methane.These are all causes of the enhanced (or accelerated) greenhouse effect which is causing global warming.The natural greenhouse effect has been keeping the earth warm for millions of years, without any effects from human (anthropogenic) activity.
Is Greenhouse gas a noun?
Yes, gas is a noun. Greenhouse here is an adjective describing 'gas'. Together they make a noun phrase, 'Greenhouse gas'.
What other gases might increase the greenhouse effect?
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.
Which gas is known as the third greenhouse gas?
Nitrous Oxide is the third greenhouse gas.........
Is ammonia NH3 a greenhouse gas?
No, Ammonia is not considered a greenhouse gas.
Which is an example of an anthropogenic contribution to carbon dioxide production?
The principal contribution is the combustion of the fossil fuels.
What anthropogenic greenhouse gases contribute to global warming?
The primary one is carbon dioxide. Others include methane and nitrous oxide.
Does nature produce greenhouse gases?
Natural gas is a greenhouse gas, methane, and when it is burnt it releases the other greenhouse gas, carbon dioxide.
Is ozone a greenhouse gas?
Yes, ozone is a greenhouse gas. Any gas with three or more atoms in their molecule are greenhouse gases.
Why are chlorofluorocarbons a nonanthropogenic greenhouse gas?
A "nonanthropogenic" anything is something that occurs naturally and doesn't requite human production, either on purpose or by accident. Chloroflurobcarbons do not exist anywhere because of natural processes. They are manmade (anthropogenic) by a complex industrial process.
