Greenhouse gas emission What is greenhouse gas? A greenhouse gas is a gas in an atmosphere that absorbs and emits radiation within the thermal infrared range. Many greenhouse gases occur naturally‚ such as water vapor‚ carbon dioxide‚ methane‚ nitrous oxide‚ and ozone. Others such ashydrofluorocarbons (HFCs)‚perfluorocarbons (PFCs)‚ andsulfur hexafluoride (SF6) result only from human industrial processes. Greenhouse gases act like a blanket around Earth‚ trapping energy in the atmosphere and causing
