Increasing levels of carbon dioxide, resulting from human activities, are implicated in the recent rise in average global temperatures. Methane, athough in much lower atmospheric concentrations, is also implicated because it is a much more potent greenhouse gas than carbon dioxide.

What gas increases earths temperature?

Carbon dioxide (CO2) is the primary gas responsible for increasing Earth's temperature through the greenhouse effect. CO2, along with other greenhouse gases, trap heat in the atmosphere, leading to global warming and climate change.

What happens to temperature with little ozone?

Ozone is a greenhouse gas. Increase in amount of ozone will increase the temperature of the atmosphere.


Which one is more harmful to the environment global warming or greenhouse gases?

Global warming is a consequence of increased greenhouse gases. The primary human generated greenhouse gas is carbon dioxide. Carbon dioxide is relatively inert, and is released in such small (relative) quantities it poses no known environmental harm, outside raising earth's temperature, bleaching coral and acidifying our oceans.


Why is dioxide important to life?

Carbon dioxide acts as a greenhouse gas and retains heat radiation from the sun, which, combined with other greenhouse gases helps to maintain the earths surface temperature. Without the presence of CO2 in the atmosphere, most of the solar radiation would not be retained and thus the surface temperature would be very low and unable to sustain human life.
