Environmental policy.
(GHG).
Greenhouse gases are polluting gases that are generally believed to contribute to excessive warming of the earth ('global warming').
The best-known greenhouse gas is carbon dioxide (CO2).
The other five greenhouse gases covered by the Kyoto Protocol (1997) are:
- Methane (CH4)
- Nitrous oxide (N2O)
- Hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs)
- Perfluorocarbons (PFCs)
- Sulphur hexafluoride (SF6)
Other greenhouse gases include water vapour (H2O) and ozone (O3).
