Solution

<!--td {border: 1px solid #cccccc;}br {mso-data-placement:same-cell;}--> The greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide, and synthetic fluorinated gases collect in the atmosphere and absorb solar radiations that have bounced off the Earth’s surface. This results in a gradual increase in the Earth’s temperature, and thus creates global warming. [2 mark]
