- Greenhouse gas - Wikipedia
Greenhouse gases trap some of the heat that results when sunlight heats the Earth's surface Three important greenhouse gases are shown symbolically in this image: carbon dioxide, water vapor, and methane Physical drivers of global warming that has happened so far
- Overview of Greenhouse Gases | US EPA
Gases that trap heat in the atmosphere are called greenhouse gases This section provides information on emissions and removals of the main greenhouse gases to and from the atmosphere Click on a greenhouse gas below to learn about its emissions in more detail
- What Are Greenhouse Gases and Why Do They Matter
Greenhouse gases (GHGs) are a category of gases that absorb heat energy emitted from the planet's surface and they remain in Earth's atmosphere for a long time (from decades to centuries)
- Definition, Emissions, Greenhouse Effect - Britannica
greenhouse gas, any gas that has the property of absorbing infrared radiation (net heat energy) emitted from Earth’s surface and reradiating it back to Earth’s surface, thus contributing to the greenhouse effect Carbon dioxide, methane, and water vapour are the most important greenhouse gases
- Current California GHG Emission Inventory Data | California Air . . .
The inventory provides estimates of anthropogenic GHG emissions within California, as well as emissions associated with imported electricity; natural sources are not included in the inventory
- Greenhouse Gases — Earth Information Center
Greenhouse gases (GHGs) refers to a suite of gases, including carbon dioxide and methane, found in Earth's atmosphere that naturally trap heat and maintain Earth's global temperature
- Greenhouse gases - World Meteorological Organization
Greenhouse gases (GHGs) in the atmosphere trap infrared radiation from the Earth, keeping it warm, this is known as the greenhouse effect GHG emissions from human activities provided the majority contribution towards global warming of 1 1 °C
- Greenhouse Gases Factsheet - Center for Sustainable Systems
Greenhouse gases (GHGs) in the atmosphere prevent some of this heat from escaping into space, instead reflecting the energy back to further warm the surface 1 The greenhouse effect was first described in the 1820s
