Encyclopedia of Earth: Greenhouse Gas

Curated by ACT

Explains what greenhouse gas is, how the greenhouse effect works, and the history of fossil fuel combustion. Causes of other damaging greenhouse gases, including methane, nitrous oxide, chlorofluoracarbons, hydrofluorocarbons, and sulphur hexafluoride, are discussed in detail as well. Also addresses what scientists understand about greenhouse gases and climate change, and what the future may hold.
