Answer: greenhouse gases consist of water vapor, carbon dioxide (CO2) and methane,
NO2, sulfur hexafluoride (SF6), perfluorocarbon (PFC), hydrofluorocarbon (HFC).
The major gases that contribute to greenhouse effect are carbon dioxide (CO 2) and
methane, NO2 generated from the burning of fossil fuels, farming, and deforestation.
But, for sulfur hexafluoride (SF6), perfluorocarbon (PFC), hydrofluorocarbon (HFC)
gases only contribute less than 1% to greenhouse effect.
8. How is the relationship between ozone depletion and global warming as well as
climate change?
Answer: the ozone depletion and global warming are caused by CFC and CO 2 gases.
Because of the occurrence of ozone depletion and global warming the temperature in
earth will increase. Because of the increase of temperature, it can influence to climate
change. For example, the rainy season will not occur on the time, but summer will
always appear.
9. What can we do to reduce the production of greenhouse gases?
Answer: To reduce the production of greenhouse gases can be done by improving
energy efficiency in automobiles and in household heating and lighting, and by
developing non fossil fuel energy sources, such as photovoltaic cells. Beside that it
also can reduce by preventing forest loss or stop cutting down the trees in forest.
10. Why do the effort for preventing global warming still ineffective?
Answer: there are some causes why the effort of global warming still ineffective,
namely:
a. The production of carbon dioxide cannot be stopped because all of living thing in
this earth produce this gas, and also CO 2 is the uneasily decomposed gas. Besides
that, CO2 also comes from the industrial activities.
b. The nature properties of cloud. Cloud is arranged by water vapor which can
reflect the heat
c. The production of methane gas which cannot be stopped. It is caused by the
increase of living thing, so methane gas will also generates more from their
activities.
d. The effect of methane heating is 72 power folds stronger than the heat of CO 2
since 20 years.
