Greenhouse Gas Definition
by Laurent Cousineau
(Montreal)
A greenhouse gas is a gas that can absorb infrared radiation in the atmosphere.
As these gases take in infrared radiation, they trap heat within the troposphere, the lowest layer of the atmosphere.
In turn, this will increase surface temperatures, a phenomenon known as the greenhouse effect.
