Q: Which of the following gases is primarily responsible for the greenhouse effect and global warming?

a) Carbon monoxide (CO)
b) Methane (CH4)
c) Nitrous oxide (N2O)
d) Oxygen (O2)

Answer: b) Methane (CH4)

Brief Fact: Methane is a potent greenhouse gas that contributes significantly to global warming. It is released through various human activities such as agriculture (livestock and rice cultivation), fossil fuel extraction and combustion, and waste management (landfills). Methane has a much higher warming potential compared to carbon dioxide (CO2) over a specific time frame. Its accumulation in the atmosphere traps heat and contributes to the greenhouse effect, leading to the warming of the Earth's surface and climate change. Efforts to reduce methane emissions are crucial in mitigating global warming and its impacts on the environment.
