$CO _2$ is one of the gases responsible for the greenhouse effect effect.

On Earth, naturally occurring amounts of greenhouse gases have a mean warming effect of about $33^ \circ C$.

Global warming could result in wide ranging effects on rainfall patterns, agriculture, forests, plants and animals.

Majority of people living in regions which are threatened by global warming are in Asia.

Green house causes the greenhouse effect. The primary greenhouse gases in Earth's atmosphere are carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide and ozone.

Argon is not a greenhouse gas because it is mostly transparent to the wavelengths of light that is responsible for trapping heat.

A greenhouse gas is a gas in an atmosphere that absorbs and emits radiation within the thermal infrared range. This process is the fundamental cause of the greenhouse effect. The primary greenhouse gases in Earth's atmosphere are water vapour, carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide, and ozone. 

A greenhouse gas (sometimes abbreviated GHG) is a gas in an atmosphere that absorbs and emits radiation within the thermal infrared range. This process is the fundamental cause of the greenhouse effect. The primary greenhouse gases in Earth's atmosphere are water vapor, carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide, and ozone. 

Black carbon consists of pure carbon in several linked forms. It is formed through the incomplete combustion of fossil fuels, biofuel, and biomass, and is emitted in both anthropogenic and naturally occurring soot. Black carbon causes human morbidity and premature mortality.
