greenhouse gas

natural or anthropogenic gaseous constituent of the atmosphere that absorbs and emits radiation at specific wavelengths within the spectrum of infrared radiation emitted by the earth’s surface, the atmosphere, and clouds

Note 1

A list of greenhouse gases with their recognized global warming potentials (3.20) is provided in ISO/TS 14067:2013, Annex A.

Note 2

Water vapour and ozone are anthropogenic as well as natural greenhouse gases but are not included as recognized greenhouse gases due to difficulties, in most cases, in isolating the human-induced component of global warming attributable to their presence in the atmosphere.
