The burning of fossil fuels by humans is the largest source of emissions of carbon dioxide, which is one of the greenhouse gases causing radiative forcing and contributes to global warming.
Global Warming Causes. Global warming is primarily a problem of too much carbon dioxide (CO2) in the atmosphereâwhich acts as a blanket, trapping heat and warming the planet. As we burn fossil fuels like coal, oil and natural gas for energy or cut down and burn forests to create pastures and plantations, carbon accumulates and overloads our atmosphere.
