OTHER GREENHOUSE GASSES

• Other greenhouse gases include methanewhich
  comes from such sources as swamps and gas emitted
  by livestockand chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs),
  which were used in refrigerants and aerosol
  propellants until they were banned because of
  their deteriorating effect on Earth's ozone
  layer.
• Another pollutant associated with climate change
  is sulphur dioxide, a component of smog. Sulphur
  dioxide and closely related chemicals are known
  primarily as a cause of acid rain. But they also
  reflect light when released in the atmosphere,
  which keeps sunlight out and causes Earth to
  cool. Volcanic eruptions can spew massive amounts
  of sulphur dioxide into the atmosphere, sometimes
  causing cooling that lasts for years. In fact,
  volcanoes used to be the main source of
  atmospheric sulphur dioxide today people are.
