Drivers of Climate Change Atmospheric concentrations of many gases — primarily carbon dioxide, methane,
nitrous oxide and
halocarbons (gases once used widely as refrigerants and spray propellants)-- have increased because of human activities.
Application to carbon dioxide, methane,
nitrous oxide and the
halocarbons.
Increasing concentrations of the long - lived greenhouse gases (carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4),
nitrous oxide (N2O),
halocarbons and sulphur hexafluoride (SF6); hereinafter LLGHGs) have led to a combined RF of +2.63 [± 0.26] W m — 2.
Emissions of the six kinds of air pollutants causing the problem — CO2, methane, black carbon,
halocarbons,
nitrous oxide, and carbon monoxide, plus VOCs — must all be reduced dramatically.

Water vapor is a highly variable gas and has long been recognized as an important player in the cocktail of greenhouse gases — carbon dioxide, methane,
halocarbons,
nitrous oxide, and others — that affect climate.
