Greenhouse gases are gases that allow sunlight to pass through it, but doesn’t allow heat to pass through it. And I don’t think fossil fuels are greenhouse gases, but the pollution it gives off is.
Greenhouse gases are those gases present in the atmosphere which reduce the loss of heat into space and therefore contribute to global temperatures through the greenhouse effect. Greenhouse gases are essential to maintaining the temperature of the earth; without them the planet would be so cold as to be uninhabitable. An excess of greenhouse gases can raise the temperature of the planet to lethal levels. The term greenhouse gas is applied to, in order of relative abundance: water vapour, carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide, ozone and CFCs. Greenhouse gases are produced by many natural and industrial processes, which currently result in CO2 levels of 380 ppmv in the atmosphere. Based on ice-core samples and records (see graphs) current levels of CO2 are approximately 100 ppmv higher than during pre-industrial times, when direct human influence was negligible.

affair.w… is correct
any molecule that absorbs infrared light will work as a greenhouse gas
as well as CO2, CH4 and in fact H2O are the major culprits
