The human activity with the greatest impact would be the burning of fossil fuels which we have been doing since the beginning of the Industrial Revolution. Burning fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) releases carbon dioxide that has been safely sequestered underground for millions of years. Releasing it now is too much for the carbon cycle so the CO2 remains in the atmosphere, capturing radiated heat, and causing global warming.
