  • The carbon cycle moves carbon in and out of the atmosphere. This cycle is largely neutral in regard to global warming.
  • Increased numbers of cattle, as well as poor agricultural practices (rice paddy fields) are adding methane to the atmosphere.
  • The burning of fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) in industry, transport and the generation of electricity, releases carbon dioxide.

Are greenhouse gases and natural gases ultimately the same?

A1. Natural gas is methane, CH4. It is a greenhouse gas, but far from the only one. Carbon dioxide, CO2, is the one that we are most concerned about.A2. But man made gases such as sulfur dioxide, and the fluorocarbons, (and more) also play their parts.


Is chlorine - Cl2 - a greenhouse gas?

Chlorine (Cl2) is not considered a greenhouse gas. Greenhouse gases are substances that trap heat in the Earth's atmosphere, contributing to the greenhouse effect. Chlorine is not one of these gases.


Why is the Earth getting warmer every day?

Greenhouse gases in the atmosphere capture heat. We are continuing to add extra greenhouse gases (by burning fossil fuels) and this is causing the warming. The great forests that used to remove carbon dioxide (one of the greenhouse gases) from the atmosphere have been destroyed.


What company is the largest contributor of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere?

The largest contributor of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere is the oil and gas company Saudi Aramco. They have consistently been identified as one of the biggest emitters of carbon dioxide globally.


What is the current situation of the earth's atmosphere?

Well in terms of Global Warming, the burning of fossil fuels (gas for cars is one) releases more greenhouse gases, which mean there are more greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. These gases reflect sunlight BACK towards earth, keeping it warm. So the more greenhouse gases means the earth is warmer.


What effect would an increase in greenhouse gases in the atmosphere have on earths overall temperature?

Of course, greenhouse gases keep the Earth from being one large popsicle. The newest studies of the atmosphere indicate that the atmosphere is pretty stable, now. The reason is that nearly all of the greenhouse gases are water vapor mostly evaporated from the oceans.


What natural greenhouses gases are associated with the greenhouses effect?

A greenhouse gas is a gas in the atmosphere that takes in and releases radiation. The greenhouse effect is more of a process in which radiation is emitted in different directions after being absorbed by greenhouse gases.


What is green ice gases?

The question probably refers to "greenhouse" gases rather than green ice gases. Greenhouse gases are a group of gases in the atmosphere that tend to prevent heat escaping from the Earth. They act rather like a blanket and hold heat in the atmosphere. There are several greenhouse gases. The best known are carbon dioxide and methane although water vapor is also one of them, even if not usually recognized as such.


Identify one important effect of the rise in the level of greenhouse gases?

One important effect of the rise in the level of greenhouse gases is global warming. Greenhouse gases trap heat in the Earth's atmosphere, causing the planet's average temperature to increase. This can lead to various consequences such as rising sea levels, more frequent and severe weather events, and disruptions to ecosystems.


Which gas is called greenhouse gas?

there are various greenhouse gases in earth atmosphere. the most common of them all is CO2 and methane. these gases lock up the heat energy came from the solar radiation and increases the temperature of the earth atmosphere.


What atmosphere gas helps to keep earth warm?

Greenhouse gases, such as carbon dioxide and methane, help to keep Earth warm by trapping heat in the atmosphere. This natural greenhouse effect is essential for sustaining life on Earth by maintaining a stable temperature. However, human activities have led to an increase in these gases, which has resulted in global warming and climate change.


Where does the water vapor in the atmosphere comes from?

water vapor is one of the greenhouse gases that is present around the planet and helps reflect heat back to Earth's surface , keeping it within the atmosphere.
