GHG
Greenhouse gases (GHGs) are gases responsible for trapping heat in the atmosphere. Many of
these gases occur naturally in the atmosphere, such as CO2, CH4 (methane), and N2O, among
others. They are also generated by human activity: electricity, heating, agriculture and land
use, industry, transportation, alternative energy sources, and buildings.
If these increase uncontrollably, they will lead to an increase in climate change.
Natural and Augmented GHGs
Natural: CO2, CH4, NO2 and O3 Stratospheric (Main filter of UV Radiation).
Increased: NO, CO2, CH4, tropospheric O3 , and HFC/CFC. (HFC: refrigerants, CFC: air
conditioners, tropospheric O3 : secondary pollutant and main component of smog).
Carbon footprint
Total amount of GHGs released into the atmosphere as a result of human activities,
generating an increase in the Earth's temperature, triggering global warming.
