Greenhouse gas emissions

sources and amounts of greenhouse gases emitted to the atmosphere from human activities

Greenhouse gas emissions from human actions help the greenhouse effect grow, causing climate change. Most is carbon dioxide from burning fossil fuels: coal, oil, and natural gas. The largest makers of this include coal in China and large oil and gas companies. Human-caused emissions have increased atmospheric carbon dioxide by about 50%.
