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.
The causes and effects of climate change have been widely discussed and debated for decades.

However, global warming is not the only effect of CO2 emissions.
