What are Greenhouse Gases GHCs ?
Climate change is now scientifically attributed to the emission of greenhouse gases (GHGs) into the atmosphere.
​
The most common GHG is carbon dioxide (CO2 or ‘carbon’). There are many other gases that contribute to climate change though. These include methane (CH4 ) and nitrous oxide (N2 O).
​
Each GHG has a different effect on the earth’s atmosphere. However each different GHG can be converted into an equivalent CO2 warming effect. Then all CO2 - equivalents can be added up for the overall impact.
Here we just refer to carbon - but in reality we're talking all GHCs.
