What are the most important green house gases?

Answer 1

The main greenhouse gases are carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4), nitrous {ic} oxide(N2O), and fluorinated gases are the most important greenhouse gas groups because of their strength of global warming potential.

Carbon dioxide is the greenhouse gas with the highest amount of emissions by volume.

Answer 2

• Most carbon oxides like carbon dioxide
• Hydrocarbons like methane
• Water Vapor is, by far, the most common (90%)

• These gases are present in the atmosphere and the reflect the terrestrial radiation emitted by the Earth at night. They help in maintaining warm temperature and their absence can cause severe temperature drop resulting in unsuitable conditions for life to survive. But too much of it can cause global warming.

Answer 3

The two most important greenhouse gases are carbon dioxide and methane. These are not the most plentiful, but they are the ones causing global warming and they are the ones we can do something about regulating.

When we burn fossil fuels we release age-old carbon dioxide that has been out of circulation for millions of years. This increase in the greenhouse gases is too much for the carbon cycle to cope with and the extra gas causes extra warming. This extra warming is global warming.

A:Water vapor is far and away the most prevalent greenhouse gas and the most active in terms of total forcing (80%). Next in line comes Carbon dioxide which is a weak second in terms of total forcing (less than 5%)

Answer 4

Water vapor and Carbon dioxide.
