Understanding Greenhouse Gases and Global Warming

Greenhouse gases, such as carbon dioxide, methane, and nitrous oxide, trap heat in the atmosphere, which contributes to global warming.

Trees absorb carbon dioxide from the air, which helps reduce the concentration of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere.

Human activities such as animal waste management, paddy-field farming, and operations at oil and gas rigs produce methane.
