Greenhouse gases themselves do not directly kill animals. However, the impacts of increased greenhouse gas emissions, such as global warming and ocean acidification, can lead to habitat destruction and changes in ecosystems that threaten the survival of many species, ultimately resulting in increased rates of extinction.
Farm animals, such as cows and sheep, expel methane gas during the process of digestion. Methane is a greenhouse gas that contributes to climate change.
Yes, SF6 is a greenhouse gas.
All of it . . . the largest amount of greenhouse gas is plain old water vapor. (Humidity) Without the greenhouse gasses, the Earth would be an icy ball with no animals, plants, or humans.
Carbon dioxide (a greenhouse gas) is given off by all animals when they exhale. Methane (another potent greenhouse gas) is emitted by ruminant animals as they digest cellulose with the aid of their intestinal bacteria. Humans are not ruminants and emit almost no intestinal methane. Burps are generally swallowed air which contains little or no greenhouse gas of any variety. The exception to this is when burping results from drinking a lot of carbonated beverages quickly. This gas would contain carbon dioxide.
Yes, gas is a noun. Greenhouse here is an adjective describing 'gas'. Together they make a noun phrase, 'Greenhouse gas'.
Yes, sulfur dioxide is a greenhouse gas.
Yes, SO2 is considered a greenhouse gas.
Yes, ammonia is considered a greenhouse gas.
Nitrogen is not considered a greenhouse gas because it does not absorb or emit infrared radiation, which is necessary for a gas to contribute to the greenhouse effect.
Yes, NH3 (ammonia) is considered a greenhouse gas.
Yes, O3, also known as ozone, is a greenhouse gas.
