But greenhouse gases counteract that heat loss, trapping heat, and reflecting it back towards the Earth. The more greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, the more heat that is trapped. The less the ...

Greenhouse gases are a group of compounds that can ... is much more effective at trapping heat. Over a century, it has a global warming potential more than 25 times greater than that of carbon ...

We call the compounds in the atmosphere that trap Earth’s heat, such as carbon dioxide and methane, greenhouse gases. They occur naturally, but human activity has generated more and more ...

The agency hasn't released six of the 10 chapters that constitute the sprawling inventory of U.S. climate pollution sources.

This important natural process becomes problematic when there is an abnormally rapid increase in heat-trapping gases in the atmosphere. When greenhouse gases accumulate too rapidly in the ...

The Environmental Protection Agency is planning to eliminate long-standing requirements for polluters to collect and report their emissions of the heat-trapping gases that cause climate change.

Scientist's analysis has determined that the threat of global warming can still be greatly diminished if nations cut emissions of heat-trapping greenhouse gases by 70 percent this century.

Methane is a more powerful greenhouse gas than carbon dioxide, but there is far less of it in the atmosphere and it does not stay there as long. Methane is more than 25 times as potent as carbon ...

Modern farms produce particulate matter and gases that affect the environment and human health and add to rising atmospheric greenhouse-gas levels. European policymakers have made progress in ...
