Global warming gases are emitted from human activities on earth.
- Carbon dioxide is released whenever we burn fossil fuel (coal, oil and natural gas). We do this in industry, transport and in the generation of electricity).
- Deforestation means that trees that used to remove this carbon dioxide through photosynthesis no longer do it.
- Methane is released from agriculture (cattle belches, rice paddy fields and animal manure fermentation) as well as from pipeline leaks, frozen tundra and Arctic lakes that are gradually melting (from global warming).
- Nitrous oxide is emitted from agriculture (especially fertilizer use).
