Human activities like burning fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) and deforestation have increasedlevels of greenhouse gases.
carbondioxide
Carbon-Dioxide or CO2
Burning fossil fuels like coal, oil and natural gas, and deforestation, are the human activities. The first releases carbon dioxide, and the second means the trees are no longer able to absorb the carbon dioxide from the atmosphere.
The main effect and issue of carbon dioxide on the environment is the fact it is a greenhouse gas. A greenhouse gas is a gas that creates a barrier in the atmosphere and does not allow excess heat to escape the atmosphere into space (like in a greenhouse ). This means that there is a build up of temperature, which will eventually lead to a rise of 1-2 degrees Celsius at the equator (bearing in mind that a 1 degree change at the equator = 12 degree change at the poles.)

carbon-dioxide.
carbondioxide
The stronger, or enhanced greenhouse effect is principally the result of human activities that increase the atmospheric concentrations of carbon dioxide and methane. these activities include burning fossil fuels such as coal, oil and natural gas, manufacturing cement and deforestation.
CO2
CO2 (Carbon dioxide).
Carbon-Dioxide or CO2
The greenhouse effect contains two different components: the natural greenhouse effect, and the enhanced greenhouse effect that results from human activities and is the cause of global warming.Water vapour is the most plentiful greenhouse gas and is mainly responsible for the natural greenhouse effect that maintains the world at a comfortable temperature suitable for human existence. Carbon dioxide also plays an important part in this natural greenhouse effect.Carbon dioxide is mainly responsible for the enhanced greenhouse effect. In this case, water vapour plays only a minor part as an enhancer, because the atmospheric concentration of it will increase if the temperature rises for other reasons, then causing a further increase in temperatures.

It is called global warming because of greenhouse effect.and greenhouse effect happens when there is too much greenhouse gas in the atmosphere. Greenhouse gas is used for trapping some of the sun's heat for the earth's warmth.And when there are too much Greenhouse gas, all of the sun's heat gets trapped inside the earth, causing the earth's temperature to rise. Greenhouse effect is normally caused by human activities such as burning fossil fuels.
