Gasfasmolekyler

Gasfasmolekyler, also known as greenhouse gases, are gases in Earth's atmosphere that trap heat. They are called "greenhouse" gases because they act like the glass panes of a greenhouse, allowing sunlight to enter but preventing heat from escaping. The primary greenhouse gases include carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4), nitrous oxide (N2O), and fluorinated gases. These gases are essential for maintaining Earth's temperature, but human activities, such as burning fossil fuels and deforestation, have significantly increased their concentrations in the atmosphere. This increase is contributing to global warming and climate change. The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) has identified these gases as a major driver of global warming, highlighting the need for international efforts to reduce their emissions. Understanding the role of gasfasmolekyler is crucial for developing effective strategies to mitigate climate change.
