GREENHOUSE GAS: A greenhouse gas ( GHG or GhG) is a gas that absorbs and emits radiant energy within the thermal infrared range, causing the greenhouse effect. [1] The primary greenhouse gases in Earth's atmosphere are water vapor ( H 2 O ), carbon dioxide (CO 2 ), methane ( CH4 ), nitrous oxide ( N2O ), and ozone . https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greenhouse_gas |

Greenhouse Gas Example: California set a record for greenhouse gas reductions in 2020, but it means nothing.
