Flashcards

What is NOT a greenhouse gas?

Air is a mixture of different gases, and while some of these gases are greenhouse gases (like Nitrogen and Oxygen), air itself is not considered a greenhouse gas.

What increases greenhouse gases?

Human activities like burning fossil fuels release greenhouse gases, like carbon dioxide, into the atmosphere.

What DOESN'T increase greenhouse gases?

Ozone depletion is a separate issue from greenhouse gases. It's about the thinning of the ozone layer, which protects us from harmful UV radiation.

How much has the global temperature risen?

Greenhouse gases trap heat in the atmosphere, making the planet warmer. Over the last 100-200 years, this effect has caused a rise in global temperature.
