Greenhouse Gas (GHG)

Greenhouse gases (GHGs) are molecules like carbon dioxide, methane, and nitrous oxide that trap heat in Earth’s atmosphere. They naturally keep our planet warm enough to support life, acting like a blanket around the Earth. However, human activities such as burning fossil fuels, deforestation, and agriculture have increased GHG levels, amplifying the greenhouse effect. This enhanced warming leads to climate change, causing more extreme weather, rising sea levels, and other environmental shifts. Managing GHG emissions is essential for protecting the planet’s climate and ensuring a sustainable future.
