Greenhouse effect of carbon

Other greenhouse gases, include nitrous oxide (laughing gas), carbon tetrachloride, and several other minor gases. The collective greenhouse effect of these gases is estimated to add 50-150% to the increase in greenhouse effect expected from C02 alone. 

Figure 3. Effect of carbon source on efficacy and spore yield of Fusarium lateritum. Spore yield (A-A) was inversely related to virulence. Proprietary fermentation medium contained starch, glucose-starch, or glucose as the primary carbon source. Spores were harvested from the fermentor and immediately used at 10 spores/ml to inoculate prickly sida Sida spinosa L.) in the primary leaf growth stage. Plants were subjected to a 20-h dew period at 25° C, removed to greenhouses for observation, and evaluated 14 days after inoculation.

In contrast, some climate models postulate a nuclear summer, stating that a worldwide warming would follow a nuclear war because of the many small contributions to the greenhouse effect from carbon dioxide, water vapor, ozone, and various aerosols entering the troposphere and stratosphere. 

Cl -1- O3 CIO + O2. 6 The gas causing an increase in the greenhouse effect is carbon dioxide released by combustion of fossil fuels. It allows most of the Sun s radiation through to the Earth s surface but, when the warm surface gives out infra-red radiation it stops this radiation from escaping into space. Hence, an increase in the concentration of CO2 in the atmosphere makes the atmosphere a better insulating (2)...

The effects of the various pollutants include (1) the greenhouse effect from carbon dioxide, (2) acid rain from SO, and NO, (3) ozone depletion from volatile organic compounds (VOCs), and (4) ground level health effects from ozone and particulates. 

Under high pressures, methane and ice form gas hydrates called clathrates. Methane hydrates can be considered as modified ice structures enclosing methane, melting at temperatures well above the melting point of pure ice. For instance, above a pressure of 3 MPa, methane hydrate is stable at temperatures above 0 C and under a pressure of 10 MPa it is stable at 15°C. From an environmental point of view methane exhibits a global warming potential 21 times the greenhouse gas effect of carbon dioxide. 

To demonstrate the impact of society needs, two examples should be mentioned carbon dioxide and NO. There is growing concern regarding the greenhouse effect of CO2. Shouldn t we increase our efforts at using... 

Burning of any hydrocarbon (fossil fuel) or, for that matter, any organic material converts its carbon content to carbon dioxide and its hydrogen to water. Because power plants and other industries emit large amounts of carbon dioxide, they contribute to the so-called greenhouse warming effect on our planet, which causes significant en-...
