- methane
- methane is a far more active greenhouse gas than carbon dioxide, but also one which is much less abundant in the atmosphere
- man-made and natural
- methane is a far more active greenhouse gas than carbon dioxide, but also one which is much less abundant in the atmosphere
- Nitrous oxide
- man-made
- powerful greenhouse gas produced by soil cultivation practices, especially the use of commercial and organic fertilizers, fossil fuel combustion, nitric acid production, and biomass burning.
- Chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs).
- man-made
- Synthetic compounds entirely of industrial origin used in a number of applications, but now largely regulated in production and release to the atmosphere by international agreement for their ability to contribute to destruction of the ozone layer. They are also greenhouse gases.
- Carbon dioxide (CO2)
- A minor but very important component of the atmosphere, carbon dioxide is released through natural processes such as respiration and volcano eruptions and through human activities such as deforestation, land use changes, and burning fossil fuels. Humans have increased atmospheric CO2 concentration by a third since the Industrial Revolution began. This is the most important long-lived "forcing" of climate change.
