Drinking and keeping our food supply alive is a use for the most common (80%) green house gas. That is water vapor.

The second most common greenhouse gas comes from anything that dies and rots, CO2. Man also produces 3 to 6% of this gas. The rest comes from natural sources.

The third most common gas is methane, which comes from animals. In this arena man produces much of this gas through the farming of animals. Almost 1% of this gas is made by humans.

In total man produces about 0.28% of all green house gas. Much of this amount from items that would produce it even if man were not around.
