Greenhouse gas in the world

Greenhouse gas in the world

A thin layer of gases, atoms and particles that surrounds the earth creates the atmosphere. About 30 percent of the incoming sunray got reflected back into space; the remaining 70 percent is absorbed into the atmosphere system.  This solar energy gives warm to the planet, which provides global temperature. Within this thin layer of atmosphere, we are recycling and dumping billions of tons of pollutants annually. Pollutants are created by power generation, transportation, coal firing, forest fires etc.  However, the carbon dioxide (CO₂), the colorless gas’s emission is the ultimate source.  Other incomplete combustion, CO and NO_x, can also create the same effect when react with other gaseous elements in the atmosphere.  The consequence of these interactions and reactions is to produce other types of greenhouse gas.

One part of the earth is connected with other location through constant atmospheric transport.  Air particles can travel from one area to another within a week. Aerospace and satellite records clearly shows emissions can be transported around the world through trans-oceanic and trans-continental, no matter where they originated. The CO₂ particles can be remained in the atmosphere is for a century or more.  They can uniformly cover the earth as blanket like. Mankind built this CO₂ blanket in the atmosphere unknowingly through centuries.
