- Atmospheric Chemistry and Greenhouse Gases
 - Chapter four of the UNEP's Climate Change 2001: The Scientific Basis report investigates greenhouse gases whose atmospheric burdens and climate impacts generally depend on atmospheric chemistry. - Atmospheric Greenhouse Gases
- Students are introduced to the greenhouse effect, sources and losses of greenhouse gases, measurements of greenhouse gases, and measurements of air temperature.
- Bad Greenhouse
- Discusses the greenhouse effect and why the concept of global warming is not actually the same thing.
- Greenhouse Effect - Cycles of the Earth and Atmosphere
- Provides an overview of the Earth's atmospheric greenhouse effect by exploring the atmospheres of nearby planets and discussing our atmosphere's greenhouse gases.
- Greenhouse Effect - Wikipedia
- Article about the greenhouse effect, discovered by Joseph Fourier in 1829 and first investigated quantitatively by Svante Arrhenius in 1896, the process in which the emission of infrared radiation by the atmosphere warms a planet's surface.
- Greenhouse Effect - Windows to the Universe
- Introduces kids to the greenhouse gases: water vapor, methane, ozone, nitrous oxide, and carbon dioxide.
- Greenhouse Gas - Wikipedia
- Article about greenhouse gases (GHG), the components of the atmosphere that contribute to the greenhouse effect.
- Greenhouse Gases - CRC for Greenhouse Accounting
- Article about the greenhouse gases that are a natural part of the Earth's atmosphere and those gases that are introduced solely by human activity.
- Greenhouse Gases - LIME
- Introduction to the greenhouse gases, the gases that trap heat in the Earth's atmosphere by absorbing and re-emitting solar radiation.
- Greenhouse Gases - Mark Bishop's Chemistry Site
- Looks at the role that greenhouse gases normally play in regulating the flow of energy into and out of the Earth's atmosphere as well as how human activity is influencing this process and what some possible solutions might be.
- Greenhouse Gases - The Environmental Literacy Council
- Introduction to the naturally-occurring trace gases in the atmosphere -- water vapor, carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide, and ozone -- along with the human activities that impact their concentrations.
- Greenhouse Gases FAQ - NOAA
- What are greenhouse gases? Learn how water vapor, carbon dioxide, methane, tropospheric ozone, nitrous oxide, and synthetic greenhouse gases warm the Earth.
- Greenhouse Gases, Climate Change, and Energy

- The Carbon Dioxide Greenhouse Effect
- Looks back in time to the 19th century, when scientists fist realized that gases in the atmosphere cause a greenhouse effect which affects the planet's temperature.
- The Greenhouse Effect - EPA Climate Change Kids Site
- Animation and short article for kids explaining the greenhouse effect, the rise in temperature that the Earth experiences because certain gases in the atmosphere trap energy from the sun.
- The Greenhouse Effect - NASA Facts On Line
- Learn about the greenhouse effect, the warming of climate that results when the atmosphere traps heat radiating from Earth toward space.
