Understanding the Impact of Greenhouse Gases on Climate Change.
Greenhouse gases trap heat in the Earth's atmosphere, creating the greenhouse effect.
Carbon dioxide (CO2) is the primary greenhouse gas emitted by human activities.
Methane (CH4) is a potent greenhouse gas released during agricultural activities and from natural sources.
Nitrous oxide (N2O) is a greenhouse gas emitted from agricultural and industrial activities.
Water vapor is the most abundant greenhouse gas, naturally present in the atmosphere.
Greenhouse gases contribute to global warming, leading to rising temperatures on Earth.
Increased greenhouse gas emissions from human activities are causing climate change.
Deforestation reduces the Earth's capacity to absorb CO2 and contributes to higher greenhouse gas concentrations.
Greenhouse gases have long atmospheric lifetimes, meaning their effects persist for years or even centuries.
Mitigating greenhouse gas emissions is crucial for addressing climate change and preserving a stable climate.
