The runaway greenhouse effect is really the only main cause of global warming (greenhouse gases produced by burning fossil fuels).

The secondary cause is deforestation. The earth used to be widely covered with forests, but these have gradually, and are still being, cut down for various reasons (building materials, firewood, clear land for agriculture, etc).

Plants and trees have a vital part to play in removing carbon dioxide from the air, but the great carbon sinks of the past have largely been destroyed.
