The largest source of CO2 emissions globally is the combustion of fossil fuels such as coal, oil and gas in power plants, automobiles, industrial facilities and other sources.

What are the artificial green house gases?
CFCs (chlorofluorocarbons) are man-made gases that are also greenhouse gases.
Is global climate change man-made?
Yes it is. It's a by-product of burning fossil fuels, which release greenhouse gases, including Carbon Dioxide. It is also a side effect of deforestation and intensive livestock farming, which releases methane. In effect, our presence has resulted in a change in balance between the removal of greenhouse gases from the atmospehere and the production of greenhouse gases.
Are greenhouse gases and natural gases ultimately the same?
A1. Natural gas is methane, CH4. It is a greenhouse gas, but far from the only one. Carbon dioxide, CO2, is the one that we are most concerned about.A2. But man made gases such as sulfur dioxide, and the fluorocarbons, (and more) also play their parts.
Is the fallowing sentence true or false the greenhouse effect is a natural process?
The greenhouse gases present in the earths atmosphere are both naturally produced and man made. The natural greenhouse gases (methane, water vapour, carbon dioxide) make the Earth warmer than it would be without the Greenhouse effect (this allows it to be habitable). The addition of man made greenhouse gases (methane, carbon dioxide and a few others) increases the temperature past the natural levels. SO the greenhouse effect is both natural and a result of human activities. If you consider the opposite of a "natural effect" to be a "supernatural effect" resulting from gods, devils or ghosts -the greenhouse effect is natural with no supernatural contribution.
Do vehicles cause greenhouse gases?
According to the phrase, it may seem that way, but actually, no, they do not.The phrase "greenhouse gas" is simply a metaphor describing the ways carbon dioxide and other gases in the atmosphere can trap heat emanating from the earth just the way a greenhouse traps warmth for plants to grow.
What are the artificial green house gases?
CFCs (chlorofluorocarbons) are man-made gases that are also greenhouse gases.
Do man-made greenhouse gases matter compared to water vapor?
gas
What are anthropogenic greenhouse gases?
Anthropogenic means made by humans, so the greenhouse gases caused by man are mostly carbon dioxide and some methane, and some CFCs.
Natural and man-made sources of these gases?
what gases? I'll guess that you mean oxygen. Natural source - the air, man-made - none.
A group of greenhouse gases usually used in aerorosols?
Hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs) are a group of man made greenhouse gases present in a wide variety of consumer products including technical and medical aerosols.
What are some green houes gases?
Carbon dioxide and methane are naturally occurring greenhouse gases, but are also man made. CFCs previously used as propellants for aerosol and as refrigerants were really damaging greenhouse gases. These have since been replaced.
What is a greenhouse gas that exclusively anthropogenic?
CFCs (chlorofluorocarbons) are greenhouse gases that are entirely made by human endeavors. All other greenhouse gases (carbon dioxide (CO2), methane CH4, etc occur in nature as well as being produced by man.
Is global warming man made or a natural cycle?
Certainly man-made as all these greenhouse gases that we humans are letting off from our cars, factories etc.
What is meant by the term greenhouse effect listing the three most significant greenhouse gases?
The term "greenhouse effect" is made up of two different effects: "Natural and Man-made". There is a "natural" greenhouse effect that keeps the Earth's climate warm and habitable. There is also the "man-made" greenhouse effect, which is the enhancement of Earth's natural greenhouse effect by the addition of greenhouse gases from the burning of fossil fuels (mainly petroleum, coal, and natural gas). The three most significant green houses gases and the amount they contribute are water vapor (80%), carbon dioxide (6%) and methane (1%). Nature produces 99.7% of all green house gas emissions.
Does pollution cause greenhouse gases?
Yes, the US Supreme Court has authorized the Environmental Protection Agency to treat carbon dioxide, the major man-made greenhouse gas, as a pollutant.
Is global climate change man-made?
