Greenhouse gases are the cause of global climate change. The main greenhouse gasses are water vapor‚ carbon dioxide‚ methane‚ nitrous oxide‚ and chlorofluorocarbons. Although most of these gases are natural‚ they are all being put into the air at a much more dangerous rate than normal. Water vapor‚ the greatest natural contributor to global warming‚ and lasts about nine days in the atmosphere.
