Yes, partly. The earth is globally warming because of the build up of greenhouse gases, mostly carbon dioxide, in the atmosphere.

  • Deforestation, the destruction of forests, means the trees no longer reove carbon dioxide from the air.
  • Man's energy consumption is fuelled by the burning of coal, oil and natural gas. This burning releases carbon dioxide.
  • Transport and industry also burn oil.
All these things cause the earth's rising temperature.
