Why do we need greenhouse gasses?
A
We don’t! All greenhouse gasses are bad
B
They help regulate Earth’s climate
C
They decrease Earth’s temperature
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -’Greenhouse gases’ are crucial to keeping our planet at a suitable temperature for life. Without the natural greenhouse effect, the heat emitted by the Earth would simply pass outwards from the Earth’s surface into space and the Earth would have an average temperature of about-20°C.

Detailed explanation-2: -If it were not for the greenhouse gas effect, Earth’s average temperature would be a chilly-18 °C. The Earth has a natural greenhouse effect due to trace amounts of water vapour (H2O), carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4) and nitrous oxide (N2O) in the atmosphere.

Detailed explanation-3: -The greenhouse effect is the way in which heat is trapped close to Earth’s surface by “greenhouse gases.” These heat-trapping gases can be thought of as a blanket wrapped around Earth, keeping the planet toastier than it would be without them.

Detailed explanation-4: -Major greenhouse gases include carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide, and various synthetic chemicals. Carbon dioxide is widely reported as the most important anthropogenic greenhouse gas because it currently accounts for the greatest portion of the warming associated with human activities.

Detailed explanation-5: -The greenhouse effect supports and promotes a life. It is no surprise that human existence and life are only possible at a certain temperature. Protection from Danger.
