    Extractions: Greenhouse Gases Despite their relative scarcity, the so-called greenhouse gases play an important role in the regulation of the Earth's energy balance . Greenhouse gases in the atmosphere trap infrared heat energy trying to escape back to space. In doing so they raise the temperature of the lower atmosphere and the Earth's surface in contact with it. This warming process is called the natural greenhouse effect , but during the last 200 years, mankind's pollution of the atmosphere with extra greenhouse gases has enhanced this natural greenhouse effect that may be contributing to global warming Greenhouse gases include any gas in the atmosphere that is capable, as a result of its particular molecular structure, of absorbing infrared radiation or heat. They are called greenhouse gases because they behave like glass in a greenhouse gas, allowing sunlight to pass through but trapping the heat formed and preventing it from escaping, thereby causing a rise in temperature. Natural greenhouse gases include water vapour or moisture, carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide and even ozone, which is more commonly associated with the ozone layer and ultraviolet radiation. The amounts of all these gases in the atmosphere are now being increased as a result of man-made processes, such as fossil fuel burning and deforestation. The atmospheric concentration of carbon dioxide, for example, has increased by 30% since the 18 th century, whilst levels of methane have more than doubled. Water vapour, whilst not directly released by man-made processes in substantial quantities, may be increasing as a result of

    Greenhouse Accounting is on providing research outputs for landbased greenhouse emissions accounting at the national and project levels.  
    http://www.greenhouse.crc.org.au/about_greenhouse/greenhouse_gases.cfm
    
    Extractions: About Greenhouse > Greenhouse effect > Greenhouse gases > Carbon cycle ... about greenhouse > Greenhouse gases Greenhouse gases are a natural part of the Earth's atmosphere, trapping radiation from the Earth's surface to keep the Earth's temperature warm enough to support life. This natural cycle is called the greenhouse effect . Human activities, such as burning fossil fuels and land clearing, are increasing the concentration of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, leading to global warming and changing climate. The most common greenhouse gas is water vapour, however, human activities have little direct impact on its concentration. The main greenhouse gases that are increasing in concentration due to human activities are carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide and chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs). Carbon dioxide is absorbed by plants, which store the carbon in roots, stems, leaves, and the soil. As plant material decomposes, the carbon is released back into the atmosphere as carbon dioxide in a cycle that has been continuing naturally since plant life took hold on the land about 400 million years ago.

44. AskMe: Who Makes Greenhouse Gases?
    Anonymous asked this question on 5/13/2000 1.what are the characteristics of each gas that make up the atmosphere? 2. where do green house gases come from?  
    http://www.ontheissues.org/askme/greenhouse_gases.htm
    
    Extractions: 1. The main gases in the atmosphere (and their approximate percentages) are Nitrogen (79%), Oxygen (20%), Argon (under 1%) and carbon dioxide (CO2, under 1%). Everything is pretty much "trace quantities," but they're important traces. Look up "atmospheric chemistry" for more on this it varies significantly at higher altitudes. 2. "Greenhouse gases" (GHGs) means any gas that contributes to warming the atmosphere by retaining heat from sunlight. CO2 is the most important only because there's the most of it. Methane, ozone, and numerous other gases are actually "stronger" greenhouse gases, because they retain more heat, but have less overall effect because there's less of them. For details see http://webmerchants.com/spectrum/ghg.htm#2 (chapter 2 of a paper I wrote on GHGs) 3. Those gases are all produced naturally as well as by industrial sources. CO2 comes from bio-degrading logs, as well as from burning oil. Methane is also known as "swamp gas" and comes from normal biological processes in swamps, as well as from commercial cow operations. Ozone is produced by lightning (it's that lightning smell), as well as from industrial processes. For discussions of global warming, we only care about the man-made processes, of course.

    Extractions: Greenhouse Gases Scientists have identified four gases produced by human activities as the principal contributors to the greenhouse effect that is widely perceived to be responsible for a global warming trend that is believed will have serious consequences for our overall environment. These are, in order of their impact, carbon dioxide, methane, CFC's and nitrous oxide. Carbon dioxide is produced mainly by the burning of fossil fuels and it will be difficult and expensive to make significant long term reductions. Methane, which pound for pound is twenty times more potent than carbon dioxide for trapping heat in the atmosphere, comes from several sources where presently available or near term technology can make significant reductions in emissions. These sources are in order of their importance, landfills, livestock, coal mines, natural gas production and transportation, and livestock manure. Gas Separation Technology's Carbo-X TM and Air-X TM processes are designed to help utilize and therefore reduce methane emissions from three of these sourceslandfills, coal mining and livestock manure.

    Extractions: Why are trees important? Battling Greenhouse Gases Trees Ontario Workshops Schools and Classrooms Trees Ontario Library Web Links ... Get Involved Search Site: Heat from the earth is trapped in the atmosphere due to high levels of carbon dioxide (CO ) and other heat-trapping gases that prevent heat from being released into space – creating a phenomenon known as the "greenhouse effect." Increasingly, carbon dioxide is being recognized as a "greenhouse gas" pollutant with potentially devastating consequences, which include global warming, dramatic changes in rainfall patterns, and rising sea levels that threaten flooding in coastal cities. Trees and forests are playing a vital role in helping to counteract the increase of this gas in the atmosphere: Trees sequester (trap) carbon dioxide (CO ) from the atmosphere. They do this during photosynthesis to form carbohydrates that are used in plant structure/function and return oxygen back to the atmosphere as a byproduct. About half of the greenhouse effect is caused by CO Trees therefore act as a “carbon sink” by removing the carbon and storing it as cellulose in their trunk, branches, leaves and roots, while releasing oxygen back into the air.

52. Greenhouse Gases
    Natural Causes. There are many causes to global warming. Compared to humans, though, these seem to be very few. There are a few major natural causes.  
    http://library.thinkquest.org/06aug/00402/greenhouse_gases.html
    
    Extractions: There is a controversy over the fact that humans are causing global warming more than natural causes. Many scientists say that global warming is caused by the oceans heating up, not the atmosphere. They have right to believe this, since the oceans are warmer than the air. Scientists also say that there is no truly correct technique to find out the CO2 levels in the Atmosphere. The scientists also say that there isn’t a lot to worry about, since every ice age starts with the warming of the Earth, and that this is a normal, natural process. They also say that we are being lied to. Though we are told that we put out 8.3 giga tons, they don’t tell us what it’s out of. In reality it is out of 750 giga tons of CO2.

    Extractions: Home News Centre ... Adapt or bust Future temperature change is dependent on levels of atmospheric greenhouse gases, in particular carbon dioxide, and to a lesser extent methane and other greenhouse gases. Atmospheric carbon dioxide concentrations are rising fast due almost entirely to human activity. Current levels are the highest for at least 650,000 years. In the past about half of all carbon dioxide emissions have been absorbed by natural ‘sinks’ in ecosystems and oceans. However, rising temperatures could reverse this process. Methane is also known to contribute to temperature change. Concentrations have risen fast and are now at their highest for at least 420,000 years.

    Extractions: GREENHOUSE GASES HOME BIOLOGY FILMS GEOGRAPHY ... SPORT Greenhouse gases are components of the atmosphere that contribute to the Greenhouse effect. Some greenhouse gases occur naturally in the atmosphere, while others result from human activities such as burning of fossil fuel and coal. Greenhouse gases include water vapor, carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide, and ozone. When sunlight reaches the surface of the Earth, some of it is absorbed and warms the Earth. Because the Earth's surface is much cooler than the sun , it radiates energy at much longer wavelengths than does the sun. The atmosphere absorbs these longer wavelengths more effectively than it does the shorter wavelengths from the sun. The absorption of this longwave radiant energy warms the atmosphere; the atmosphere also is warmed by transfer of sensible and latent heat from the surface. Greenhouse gases also emit longwave radiation both upward to space and downward to the surface. The downward part of this longwave radiation emitted by the atmosphere is the "greenhouse effect." The term is a misnomer, as this process is not the mechanism that warms greenhouses.
