Greenhouse gas - Wikipedia
Greenhouse gases (GHGs) are the gases in the atmosphere that raise the surface temperature
of planets such as the Earth. What distinguishes them from other gases is that they absorb the
wavelengths of radiation that a planet emits, resulting in the greenhouse effect. The Earth is
warmed by sunlight, causing its … See more
Properties and mechanisms
Greenhouse gases are infrared active, meaning that they absorb and emit infrared radiation in
the same long wavelength range as what is emitted by the Earth's surface, … See more
List of all greenhouse gases
The contribution of each gas to the enhanced greenhouse effect is determined by the
characteristics of that gas, its abundance, and any indirect effects it may cause. For example,
… See more
Monitoring
Greenhouse gas monitoring involves the direct measurement of atmospheric concentrations
and direct and indirect measurement of greenhouse gas emissions. … See more

Needed emissions cuts
Removal from the atmosphere through negative emissions
A number of technologies remove greenhouse gases emissions from the atmosphere. Most
widely analyzed are those that remove … See more
Contributions of specific gases to the greenhouse effect
Anthropogenic changes to the natural greenhouse effect are sometimes referred to as the
enhanced greenhouse effect.
This table shows the most important contributions to the overall greenhouse effect, without
which the average temperature of See more
Factors affecting concentrations
Atmospheric concentrations are determined by the balance between sources (emissions of the
gas from human activities and natural systems) and sinks (the removal of the gas from the
atmosphere by conversion to a different chemical compound … See more
Types of sources
Natural sources
The natural flows of carbon between the atmosphere, ocean, terrestrial ecosystems, and
sediments are fairly balanced; so carbon levels would … See more
