MAINSTREAMING CLIMATE CHANGE ADAPTATION IN AGRICULTURAL EXTENSION
decades. BUT man has been increasing the amount of GHGs in the atmosphere
and so the atmosphere warms! The dominant natural greenhouse gases are
H20 (water), CO2 (carbon dioxide), CH4 (methane), and Nitrous oxide (N2O).
There are also industrial CFC's (Chlorofluorocarbons). CO2 (carbon dioxide) is
emitted every time we burn something (fuel in cars, wood, coal etc. for industry
or in our homes), CH4 (methane) is produced from several sources including
cattle.
