Most people do not understand the real level of harm that different greenhouse gas emissions can cause them. Most of them believe that carbon dioxide, produced in large quantities by every living organism, is the main substance that is driving our planet further towards global warming. Judging by how people believe it, it is possible that they evaluate global warming based on the number of different gases estimated in reports and research. However, what global warming ultimately comes down to is not just quantity but also quality. To prove this, scientists said that methane, produced mainly by farm animals, was 23 times more harmful to the environment than carbon dioxide and contributed more to the warming effect. Another greenhouse gas emission, nitrous oxide, is about 296 times more potent than carbon dioxide in accelerating the planet's climate change. Even with only a small amount of methane or nitrous oxide in our atmosphere, it can still be a destructive greenhouse gas (Wolfson)....
