The warmth of the sun and the global winds mix the greenhouse gases all round the world, so there is nowhere that has more, or less of the greenhouse gases.

Greenhouse gases, specifically:Carbon dioxide from burning fossil fuelsMethane from cattleCFCs from refrigerantsare contributing to the enhanced greenhouse effect that is making the world, as well as the US warmer.
No. Greenhouse gases trap the sun's heat, so they lead to warmer temperatures all around the world, including at the south pole.
Greenhouse gases in the atmosphere are measured using instruments like spectrometers and satellites that can detect and quantify the concentration of these gases in the air. Scientists collect data from various locations around the world to monitor and track changes in greenhouse gas levels over time.
Greenhouse gases readily allow the sun's warmth to reach the surface of the earth. The earth then warms up and begins to radiate heat at longer wavelengths that are blocked by greenhouse gases. A certain amount of greenhouse gases is essential for life on earth as we know it. Without these gases, the world would be far colder than it is now. But the recent increases in concentrations of greenhouse gases are beginning to raise the world's temperature towards unsustainable levels.
China has now overtaken the USA in this dubious race.
Greenhouse gases, particularly carbon dioxide, are part of the Earth's atmosphere; as such, they cover all of the Earth's surface. The whole world is covered by atmosphere.
From 1990 to 2000, the world's most developing economies reduced greenhouse gas emissions from energy production by approximately 17%. This reduction was often achieved through a combination of energy efficiency measures, increased use of renewable energy sources, and adoption of cleaner technologies.
The four main greenhouse gases are ozone, carbon dioxide, methane, and nitrous oxide. These gases are said to responsible for the world wide climate change taking place now.
It produces about 20 percent of US electricity and about 15 percent world wide. It does not produce greenhouse gases so is preferable to burning coal, for that reason. It can be expanded by building more plants, and with easy access to natural gas diminishing this is useful
The Kyoto Protocol is the 1997 global agreement to greenhouse gases that was signed by virtually every country in the world except the US. The protocol aimed to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and combat climate change.
