A bulletin from the EPA's Climate Explainer series on Greenhouse Gases that provides a global to national overview of related impacts, trends and policy. This bulletin provides an insight into the three most important GHGs (CO2, CH4 and N2O), their physical properties, and their contribution to global warming and climate change. It also sheds light on the main sources in Ireland of each of these gases and some of the key mitigation measures to address them.
