What are the green house gases? Carbon Dioxide is a weak one, carbon monoxide is more potent, water vapor is actually a potent greenhouse 'gas', ozone O3 is also a greenhouse gas. Carbon monoxide comes from rotting vegetation in bogs or marshes, cows (flatulence) from their digestive enzymes in their stomachs and also it's frozen on the bottom of the ocean. Carbon dioxide all animals exhale, fire burning carbon or oil release this, cars and factories release this also as well as volcanoes. Water vapor and ozone also greenhouse gases. Sulfur dioxide would be except it's reflective and actually reflects light and heat back into space once in the atmosphere such as on Venus but Venus has a super thick atmosphere with other greenhouse gases that keep it hot.

Why are green house gases causing a problem?

Green House gases work by allowing the Sun's rays into the atmosphere, but don't let them back out. Green-house gases are gases like CO2, Methane and other traces of elements. A small amount is necessary to control the warmth of the overall planet, but if we get to much green-house gas, the planet could begin to warm, which it is. If this is due to green-house gases or not, there is much controversy to the matter.

What are green house gases and the green house effect?

Green house effect is keeping an area warm by allowing the solar radiations to pass in but preventing long wavelength heat waves to escape due to presence od radiatively active gases and glasspanes. Green house gases are radiatively active gases which allow the solar radiations to pass through but reflect back long wave heat radiations. Example Methane, CO2, H2O etc.
