Greenhouse Gas..Or is it Sass?


The greenhouse gases are a phenomenon in which the earth traps solar radiation, it is caused by gases in the atmosphere such as methane, carbon dioxide, or water vapor. It's the combination of these gases that allows for sunlight to enter, of which some is absorbed, and some is deflected back.
The greenhouse gases are a very popular topic. Greenhouse gases are the gases that allow sunlight to reach the Earth without being stopped-this is what makes up the greenhouse effect. When it hits infrared energy is bounced back out to the atmosphere. Some greenhouse gases are synthetic, where as most are natural.The top three most common greenhouse gases are carbon dioxide, nitrous oxide, and methane. Recent heavy increase in creation of gas emitting products since the Industrial Revolution have caused an up in greenhouse gases. Greenhouse gases are basically the focus points of the heating of our planet. They determine our temperature on a stable planet. It was fine until our recent increase of products that emit those harmful gases. Currently it is a very polluted and dangerous thing, due to OUR contributions over the last 200 years or the Industrial Age to the present.
