As fancy microbrews slowly make the transition to 16oz pounder cans, let us take pause and celebrate the macro forefathers that pioneered the God-given right to slug back a watery beer, then slam their containers over your head.

greenhouse gas - a gas that contributes to the greenhouse effect by absorbing infrared radiation. greenhouse emission. CFC, chlorofluorocarbon - a fluorocarbon with chlorine; formerly used as a refrigerant and as a propellant in aerosol cans; the chlorine in CFCs causes depletion of atmospheric ozone.
A greenhouse gas (sometimes abbreviated GHG) is a gas in an atmosphere that absorbs and emits radiation within the thermal infrared range. This process is the fundamental cause of the greenhouse effect.The primary greenhouse gases in Earth's atmosphere are water vapor, carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide, and ozone.Without greenhouse gases, the average temperature of Earth's surface would be about 15 Â°C (27 Â°F) colder than the present average of 14 Â°C (57 Â°F). greenhouse gas (sometimes abbreviated GHG) is a gas in an atmosphere that absorbs and emits radiation within the thermal infrared range.
