go back to the earth and some will go out into space. So in effect‚ carbon dioxide lets the light energy in‚ but doesn’t let all of the heat energy out‚ similar to a greenhouse. Nitrous oxide is known to have a significant global climatologic impact as a naturally occurring greenhouse gas. After carbon dioxide and methane‚ nitrous oxide is the third most climatologically significant greenhouse gas. Greenhouse gases act like a warming blanket in the troposphere and prevent radiative cooling. Nitrous

Global Warming Global warming is one of the most serious challenges facing us today. To protect the health and economic well-being of current and future generations‚ we must reduce our emissions of heat-trapping gases by using the technology‚ know-how‚ and practical solutions already at our disposal. Tropical deforestation is the largest source of emissions for many developing countries‚ but slowing deforestation can’t solve the climate problem by itself. As forest-rich developing countries
