About Greenhouse Gas
Greenhouse gasses are gasses that trap heat and infrared radiation in the atmosphere. On Earth they include water vapor, methane, nitrous oxide, carbon dioxide and ozone. Even with the level of greenhouse gasses in our atmosphere rising, at least we don't look like Venus with temperatures in the 400 - 800 degree Fahrenheit range.
About Global Warming
Global warming is the warming of the planet caused by human activity, including burning fossil fuels and cutting down forests. Carbon emissions are known to cause the planet to heat up, and the burning of fossil fuels creates carbon emissions as a byproduct.
