The most important gases for the natural greenhouse effect (Without the greenhouse
effect we would have temperature decreased about 33°C) are water vapor and carbon
dioxid. The increasing production of CO2 by mankind in the last centuries
has also increased the greenhous effect. The result is a global climate warming. (some scientists and countries
deny this)
