I used catalyst as a simile.

If the gases increase the effects of the natural rise in temperatures then the gases can be related to catalyst by making the final product much stronger than what would have happened naturally.

The differences is that a catalyst usually speeds up a reaction instead of strengthening it and a catalyst has no effect on the actual reaction while the gases will have an effect.
