Greenhouse Gases: These are gases in Earth's atmosphere that trap heat. They let sunlight pass through the atmosphere, but they prevent the heat that the sunlight brings from leaving the atmosphere. The main greenhouse gases are water vapor, carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide, and ozone.
Carbon Emissions: This refers to carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide released into the atmosphere, often produced by vehicles and industrial processes. High levels of these gases can contribute significantly to global warming.
Climate Change: This term refers to significant changes in global temperatures and weather patterns over time. While climate change is a natural phenomenon, many scientists believe that human activities are currently driving an unprecedented rate of change.
