Objects that are burning up in Earth's atmosphere are generally moving very quickly, therefore the display of light that you see will appear as a streak.

Dust and soot. "Dust" are fine particles of rock that can be caused by weathering, wind, or meteors burning up in the atmosphere. "Soot" is partially-burned hydrocarbons that result from burning something organic, like wood, coal or oil.
Burning fossil fuels.
The increase in carbon dioxide in the Earth's atmosphere over the last 150 years was due to mankind's burning of fossil fuels.
You may be thinking of global warming, which is the recent rapid warming of the earth, caused by the human activities of deforestation and the burning of fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) in industry, transport and the generation of electricity. This burning releases carbon dioxide (CO2), a greenhouse gas, which is building up in the atmosphere.
The burning of fossil fuels (coal & oil) is the primary cause of the increase in carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere.

... the burning of fossil fuels, which is adding extra carbon dioxide to the greenhouse gases in the atmosphere.
The burning of fossil fuels is the largest contributor to acid precipitation. It is caused by sulfur and nitrogen reaction with the atmosphere.
The enhanced, or accelerated greenhouse effect, is the increased heat in the atmosphere. It is caused largely by humans burning fossil fuels and cutting down forests. Both these activities Lead to more carbon dioxide (a greenhouse gas) in the atmosphere.
