The ManAgent in Greenhouse Gas Emissions and Energy Consumtion.

Which is the Gas named Greenhouse Gas?
as multiple combination of gases found in the atmosphere can have an effect related to greenhouse gases.

Did You Feel Greenhouse Gas' Effects Today?
Greenhouse gases have the ability to be permeable to the Sun's rays, allowing them to reach the ground they then trap the heat headed back into space and return it to Earth.
During the day, while the Sun wams the Earth, a percentage of the sunlight illuminating the Earth reflects on ground and water and heads for space as light and heat. The compound of gases which we refer to as greenhouse gases prevents heat energy from leaving the Earth. Heat is then prevented from leaving the atmosphere and therefore provokes an effect like to the one seen in greenhouses, hence the name.

Greenhouse Gases: Two Categories.
Of the multiple gases which have the property of retaining infrared heat, there are the ones found in nature, they are:: carbon dioxide, methane and water vapour (clouds).

Others, such as many specialty gases: hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs), perfluorocarbons (PFCs) and sulfur hexafluoride (SF6) used in diverse industries, were created by humans.



How Does Nature Deal with the Situation?
Nature is perfectly capable of managing a certain quantity of human and animal produced greenhouse gases, for the most part through photosynthesis which is a procedure by which plants generate oxygen out of carbon dioxide, water, and light.
If there were a way for nature to absorb the level of greenhouse gases generated by industrial societies, the scientific community believes the levels of infrared heat absorbed by the Earth compared to the heat reflected back into space should, all other elements being equal, would be most likely not to vary. Scientists would be likely to come across extremely low temperature variations.



The Causes:
Humans are constantly increasing production of greenhouse gases. From all gases which have as an origin human activities, twenty five percent originates from the utilisation of petroleum in autos and to produce heat energy and electrical energy.



How do Greenhouse Gases Relate to Climate Change?
Let's begin by defining the manifestations which, joined together, are known as climate change: the term "climate change" commonly refers to changes in modern climate including average temperature, precipitations and wind patterns. Source: Wikipedia, climate change.

Technological patterns point towards that greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, for an important number of years, will lead to an increase of Earth's average temperature. This rise in temperature can modify the quantity and intensity level of downfalls and also offer propitious circumstances for high magnitude storms and, an increase in the sea level.

These simulations also guide scientists of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) to believe that the changes in observed global temperature, which are of 0.6 C to 0.9 C over the last century, are caused by human activity and can't be explained using only know natural causes.

How do Humans Generate these Greenhouse Gases?
In the United States and Canada, greenhouse gases are generated in a large proportion by the combustion of fossil oil and other energy generating fuels. In North America, energy is used mostly in the industrial sector, in the transport industry, in our vehicles and heat up / cool down our houses.

The polluting factor of energy consumption is directly linked to the fuel used in order to manufacture electricity. Carbon dioxide discharges that are linked to the utilisation of natural gas, coal and, most important, petroleum, accounted, in 2006, for eighty two% of the total human related greenhouse gas produced in the United States.

Methane, emanating out of: landfills, some mines (mostly coal), oil, natural gas and farming accounts for another nine% of US' greenhouse gas emissions.

These were a couple of the arguments President Obama is addressing in his plan about climate change.
