Greenhouse gases heat up our planet. They are part of Earth’s atmosphere and trap warmth emitted by the sun, thus heating Earth. It is this process – the greenhouse effect – that makes life on the planet possible.

Natural greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide, methane and nitrous oxide have always been in the atmosphere. Without them, the world’s average surface temperature would be a chilly – 18 degrees Celsius. However, we enjoy an average temperature of 14 degrees.
