So while carbon dioxide contributes less to the overall greenhouse effect than water vapor, scientists have found that carbon dioxide is the gas that sets the temperature. Carbon dioxide controls the amount of water vapor in the atmosphere and thus the size of the greenhouse effect.
Carbon dioxide in the atmosphere: 1  allows sunlight and heat into the atmosphere, but doesn't let it get out, causing the Earth to heat up. 2  along with water vapor, methane, and a few other gases keep the Earth from becoming a deep freeze on the side away from the Sun. In other words, because of carbon dioxide, but mostly water vapor, plant and animal life can exist on Earth. 2  helps keep the Earth from freezing over in places far from the equator by holding in some of the heat that came from the Sun.
