What Are The Causes
CO2 emissions are by far the largest cause of global warming and ocean
acidification, and they are rising.
Methane emissions are the second largest cause of warming, and they are rising.
Since 1950 human activities have led to virtually all temperature rise.
Natural forces have caused virtually none of the temperature rise.
The largest human sources of CO2 emissions are burning fossil fuels,
making cement and burning off gas (“flaring”) from oil and gas production.
