Cars cause most of the CO2 emissions.

Answer

Cars produce a large amount of CO2 (Carbon DI-oxide) but humans produce thousands of times the quantity put out by cars simply by exhaling roughly 20-30 times a minute.

However, Carbon MON-oxide (CO) is produced through a variety of processes including combustion (even a simple wood fireplace) and various industrial processes such as smelting.
