These gases have contributed enormously to the global anthropogenic Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emission which are detrimental to the world’s environmental media.
CFCs, HCFCs and HFCs absorb infra-red radiation and thus are greenhouse gases that can exert an additional radiative forcing that tends to warm the climate.
Higher concentrations of greenhouse gases and higher temperatures lead to more absorption and emission of ...
Halocarbons, once thought to be the most potent greenhouse gases, are now believed to have only a slight global warming effect because they destroy ozone, itself a strong greenhouse gas.
Since industrialization, human activities have resulted in steadily increasing concentrations of the greenhouse gases—carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide and chlorofluorocarbons—in the atmosphere, leading to fears of the ‘enhanced greenhouse effect’.
The result showed that the green bond has important roles to mitigate Greenhouse Gases (GHG).
Increasing concentrations of these greenhouse gases play significant role in changing atmospheric chemistry such as mean air temperature, rainfall pattern, drought, and flood frequency.
Before oxygen appeared in Earth’s atmosphere methane may have been the most important greenhouse gas.
In part, this is because a greenhouse is not a particularly good analogy for what is going on, although I suppose it is now too late to change the name.
This pattern (or one similar to it taking into account the rest of the trace gases) could be looked for in observations to verify the enhanced greenhouse effect.
), may contribute to budget of globally nature-derived greenhouse gases.
It is believed that the greenhouse effect is related to the parameters of absorption spectra of polyatomic molecules, usually trace gases, in planetary atmospheres.
On the basis of the numerical results of the model, students are able to investigate the molecular properties that are characteristic of greenhouse gases and thus are able to understand the rationale behind the recent agreement by the world's industrialized nations to reduce certain greenhouse gas emissions.
It can be concluded these three greenhouse gases may be influenced by some similar sources, especially for CO2 and N2O.
The thermal infrared opacity of these trace gases therefore needs to be explicitly accounted for when attempting to predict the climate response to increasing concentrations of greenhouse gases.
