The following information is about Greenhouse Gases.

Greenhouse Gases Defined

Those gases, such as water vapor, carbon dioxide, nitrous oxide, methane, hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs), perfluorocarbons (PFCs) and sulfur hexafluoride, that are transparent to solar (short-wave) radiation but opaque to long-wave (infrared) radiation, thus preventing long-wave radiant energy from leaving Earth's atmosphere. The net effect is a trapping of absorbed radiation and a tendency to warm the planet's surface.

This definition is in context to Energy. See more contextual defintions for Greenhouse Gases.

  • CX,LFRGY Cement Producers Lafarge, Holcim Agree To Nationalizatio n Terms With Venezuela: Hard to know how to feel about this because cement kilns are some of the most toxic air polluters in the entire world.

And the World Bank is helping make it possible. A year after World Bank President Robert Zoellick pledged to ``significantl y step up our assistance 9;' in fighting climate change, the development institution is increasing its financing of fossil-fuel projects around the globe.
