∙ 12y agoMethane is the gas released from landfills with 21 times more global warming potential than a molecule of CO2.
Methane is the most toxic greenhouse gas commonly emitted from landfills and farms. It is estimated to have a global warming potential about 28-36 times that of CO2 over a 100-year period.
The second biggest contributor to climate change after carbon dioxide is methane. Methane is a potent greenhouse gas that is released from sources such as agriculture, landfills, and natural gas production. It has a shorter atmospheric lifetime compared to carbon dioxide but has a much higher global warming potential.
If methane from landfills is not collected, it will be released into the atmosphere contributing to global warming. Methane is a potent greenhouse gas that traps heat much more effectively than carbon dioxide, thus exacerbating climate change.
No, the size of a water vapor molecule does not change in the ozone layer. Water vapor molecules in the Earth's atmosphere remain the same size regardless of the location within the atmosphere.
Ozone depletion can cause global warming. It is due to the plankton death.

The benefits of that will be that we are stopping the earth from being in global warming
Landfills contribute to global warming by releasing methane gas, a potent greenhouse gas, as organic waste decomposes anaerobically. Methane is released into the atmosphere and traps heat, contributing to the greenhouse effect and global warming. Efficient landfill management practices, such as capturing methane for energy production, can help mitigate these emissions.

Carbon dioxide (CO2) is commonly used as the reference gas to calculate global warming potential. It has a GWP of 1 and allows for comparing the impact of other greenhouse gases on the climate system.
welcome
The greenhouse gas released by refrigerators and air cooling systems that causes global warming is hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs). HFCs are potent synthetic gases that have a high global warming potential and contribute to the depletion of the ozone layer. Efforts are being made to phase out the use of HFCs and replace them with more environmentally friendly alternatives.
You can make a model that shows what global warming has done to different ecosystems. You can also make a model of some trash and use that in a speech about landfills.
Methane gas is produced by the decay of vegetation in the absence of oxygen. This process occurs in environments like wetlands or landfills where organic matter decomposes anaerobically. Methane is a potent greenhouse gas with more than 20 times the warming potential of carbon dioxide over a 100-year period.
