Breaking Down Greenhouse Gases:

Greenhouse gases act like a blanket and trap heat that should be tossed back into space – where it belongs. The main greenhouse gases are carbon dioxide (mainly from burning fossil fuels such as coal, natural gas and oil), methane (production and transport of fossil fuels – also organic waste), nitrous oxide (from agriculture and industrial activities and combustion of fossil fuels), and fluorinated gases (emitted from a variety of industrial processes).
