Industrial greenhouse gases (GHGs) are anthropogenic gaseous constituents of the atmosphere produced by human industrial processes that absorb and emit radiation at specific wavelengths within the spectrum of thermal infrared radiation, emitted by the Earth’s surface, the atmosphere, and by clouds. This phenomenon causes the greenhouse effect, which contributes to global warming. The concentrations of carbon dioxide (CO2) among such emissions are now more than one-third higher than they were before the Industrial Revolution. The Earth is artificially made even warmer by hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs) from industrial activities that trap extra heat from the sun, causing changes in weather patterns around the globe.
