Assertion : CO_2 and methane are called greenhouse gases. Reason : These - radiate heat and radiations cause global warming.

Assertion : Contribuition of CO_(2), CH_(4), CFCs " and " N_(2)O towards greenhouse effect is respectively 60%, 6 %, 14 % and 20 %. Reason : Greenhouse gases are radioactively active gases which prevent the short wavelength radiations emitted by earth to escape into space.
