    Extractions: Greenhouse Effect The greenhouse effect refers to circumstances where the short wavelengths of visible light from the sun pass through a transparent medium and are absorbed, but the longer wavelengths of the infrared re-radiation from the heated objects are unable to pass through that medium. The trapping of the long wavelength radiation leads to more heating and a higher resultant temperature. Besides the heating of an automobile by sunlight through the windshield and the namesake example of heating the greenhouse by sunlight passing through sealed, transparent windows, the greenhouse effect has been widely used to describe the trapping of excess heat by the rising concentration of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. The carbon dioxide strongly absorbs infrared and does not allow as much of it to escape into space. Sunlight warms your car Increasing atmospheric carbon dioxide Global warming Role in the absence of water on Venus? A major part of the efficiency of the heating of an actual greenhouse is the trapping of the air so that the energy is not lost by convection . Keeping the hot air from escaping out the top is part of the practical "greenhouse effect", but it is common usage to refer to the infrared trapping as the "greenhouse effect" in atmospheric applications where the air trapping is not applicable.

    greenhouse gases are atmospheric gases that trap infrared radiation emitted from Most of the significant greenhouse gases are longlived and well-mixed.  
    http://education.arm.gov/studyhall/globalwarming/expertgas.stm
    
    Extractions: Home What are Greenhouse Gases? Greenhouse gases are atmospheric gases that trap infrared radiation emitted from the earth, lower atmosphere, or clouds or aerosols and, as a result, cause positive radiative forcing (which means they enhance global warming). Many of these gases are naturally occurring and are essential to life on earth by providing a blanket for marine and terrestrial organisms. Without them, temperatures on earth would be intolerably cold. However, when their concentrations become too high, they may contribute to global warming to such an extent that they would make the earth intolerably hot. Nature has maintained these gases in the 'tolerable' range for billions of years, but human activities have been changing the concentrations of these gases since the start of the industrial revolution, around 1850. Greenhouse gases may be described as Long-lived, which means they are stable and, therefore, last years in the atmosphere

50. Reducing Emissions Of Other Greenhouse Gases. From Report On Research And Curren

    Extractions: (100 Year Time Horizon) GAS GWP Carbon dioxide (CO2) Methane (CH4) Nitrous oxide (N2O) Hydrofluorocarbons HFC-23 HFC-125 HFC-134a HFC-143a HFC-152a HFC-227ea HFC-43-10mee Fully Fluorinated Species The concept of global warming potential (GWP) was developed to compare the ability of each GHG to trap heat in the atmosphere relative to another gas. In this case, CO2 is the reference case. Methane, for example, has a GWP of 23 over a 100-year period. This means that on a kilogram for kilogram basis, methane is 23 times more potent than CO2 over a 100-year period. (IPCC Third Assessment Report) Other greenhouse gases cover a broad array of gases other than CO2, principally methane (CH4), nitrous oxide (N2O), sulfur hexaflouride (SF6), and other chemicals that are effective global warmers. These other GHGs are more potent as energy absorbers than CO2 (per unit weight) and have cumulatively contributed between one-fifth and one-third of the total estimated global warming potential since pre-industrial times. Therefore, reducing non-CO2 GHG emissions is an important component of any GHG mitigation strategy.

54. Atmospheric Greenhouse Gases
    These gases are commonly referred to as greenhouse gases , and the most important ones that may be influenced directly by human activity are carbon dioxide  
    http://vathena.arc.nasa.gov/curric/land/global/greenhou.html
    
    Extractions: Certain trace gases in the atmosphere maintain the Earth's temperature at the average level that we have today. These gases are commonly referred to as "greenhouse gases", and the most important ones that may be influenced directly by human activity are carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide, and CFC's - chlorinated fluorocarbons such as Freon. In addition, water vapor is a powerful greenhouse gas, but its concentration depends mainly on evaporation and rainfall, not on human activity. All these constituents are distributed in the atmosphere from the surface to high altitude. Incoming radiation energy from the Sun, mostly visible light, penetrates the atmosphere and reaches the Earth's surface, where it is partly absorbed. The heated surface radiates some energy back to space, but at infrared wavelengths, much longer than visible light. The figure shows the path of radiation. The greenhouse gases in the atmosphere transmit the incoming visible light, but stop some of the outgoing infrared, trapping it between the atmosphere and the surface. The name "greenhouse" comes from analogy with a glass greenhouse for plants. Here the visible solar radiation penetrates the glass, but some of the infrared re-emitted by the interior of the greenhouse is trapped by the glass and allows the interior air of the greenhouse to be maintained at a comfortably warm temperature. (The interior of a car in the summer is similar.) Of course a greenhouse also keeps plants warm by sheltering them from the wind, which is a different effect.

    Extractions: According to preliminary data calculated by Statistics Finland, greenhouse gas emissions in Finland totalled approximately 80 Mt of CO2 equivalent, which is 13 per cent more than in the base year of the Kyoto Protocol. Under the Kyoto Protocol, the base year for Finland is 1990, with the exception of so-called F-gases (HFCs, PFCs and SF6) for which the base year is 1995. In the base year, emissions in Finland totalled 71 Mt of CO2 equivalent. Next release: 18 Apr 2008 Description: Annual reporting of emissions of the greenhouse gases specified in the Kyoto Protocol to the Secretariat of the UNFCCC comprises emission calculations in a common form (CRF tables) and a related background report (National Inventory Report). Statistics Finland is the national entity responsible for the greenhouse gas inventory in Finland.

    Extractions: The Earth's climate has changed many times in the past. Subtropical forests have spread from the south into more temperate (or milder, cooler climates) areas. Millions of years later, ice sheets spread from the north covering much of the northern United States, Europe and Asia with great glaciers. Today, nearly all scientists believe human beings are changing the climate. How can that be? Over the past few centuries, people have been burning more amounts of fuels such as wood, coal, oil, natural gas and gasoline. The gases formed by the burning, such as carbon dioxide, are building up in the atmosphere. They act like greenhouse glass. The result, experts believe, is that the Earth heating up and undergoing global warming . How can you show the greenhouse effect?
