Water Vapour

Water vapour is water in gaseous instead of liquid form. It can be formed either through a process of evaporation or sublimation. Unlike clouds, fog,
or mist which are simply suspended particles of liquid water in the air, water vapour itself cannot be seen because it is in gaseous form.

Water vapour in the atmosphere is often below its boiling point. When water is boiled the water evaporates much faster and makes steam. Steam often has
droplets of water, which is what is seen water is boiling. Since both water droplets and water vapour are present, this is called wet steam (also called wet
vapour). As the mixture gets hotter, the water droplets go away and it becomes dry steam (also called dry vapour). Power plants use water vapour in the form
of steam (dry is better, but wet is used too) as a working fluid to turn their turbines to make electricity.

Water vapor is Earth’s most abundant greenhouse gas.

It’s responsible for about half of Earth’s greenhouse effect — the process that occurs when gases in Earth’s atmosphere trap the Sun’s heat. Greenhouse
gases keep our planet livable. Without them, Earth’s surface temperature would be about 59 degrees Fahrenheit (33 degrees Celsius) colder. Water vapor is
also a key part of Earth’s water cycle: the path that all water follows as it moves around Earth’s atmosphere, land, and ocean as liquid water, solid ice, and
gaseous water vapor.

Since the late 1800s, global average surface temperatures have increased by about 2 degrees Fahrenheit (1.1 degrees Celsius). Data from satellites, weather
balloons, and ground measurements confirm the amount of atmospheric water vapor is increasing as the climate warms. (The United Nations’
Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change Sixth Assessment Report states total atmospheric water vapor is increasing 1 to 2% per decade.) For every
degree Celsius that Earth’s atmospheric temperature rises, the amount of water vapor in the atmosphere can increase by about 7%, according to the laws of
thermodynamics.

Some people mistakenly believe water vapor is the main driver of Earth’s current warming. But increased water vapor doesn’t cause global warming. Instead,
it’s a consequence of it. Increased water vapor in the atmosphere amplifies the warming caused by other greenhouse gases.

Nitrous oxide
Nitrous oxide is an odorless, colorless, non-flammable gas. While nitrous
oxide is not flammable, it will support combustion to the same extent as oxygen. It
leads to a state of euphoria, explaining its nickname, 'laughing gas.' Nitrous oxide
is the least potent inhalational anesthetic.

Nitrous Oxide Emissions. In 2020, nitrous oxide (N2O) accounted for about 7%
of all U.S. greenhouse gas emissions from human activities. Human activities
such as agriculture, fuel combustion, wastewater management, and industrial
processes are increasing the amount of N2O in the atmosphere

Nitrous oxide is also naturally present in the atmosphere as part of the Earth's nitrogen cycle
and has a variety of natural sources. Nitrous oxide molecules stay in the atmosphere for an
average of 114 years before being removed by a sink or destroyed through chemical reactions.
The impact of 1 pound of N2O on warming the atmosphere is almost 300 times that of 1 pound
of carbon dioxide.
