Detailed explanation-1: -The CO2 released from the burning of fossil fuels is accumulating as an insulating blanket around the Earth, trapping more of the Sun’s heat in our atmosphere. Actions carried out by humans are called anthropogenic actions; the anthropogenic release of CO2 contributes to the current enhanced greenhouse effect [1] .
Detailed explanation-2: -Increased greenhouse effect The problem we now face is that human activities – particularly burning fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas), agriculture and land clearing – are increasing the concentrations of greenhouse gases. This is increasing the greenhouse effect, which is contributing to warming of the Earth.
Detailed explanation-3: -Increasing Greenhouses Gases Are Warming the Planet Scientists attribute the global warming trend observed since the mid-20th century to the human expansion of the “greenhouse effect”-warming that results when the atmosphere traps heat radiating from Earth toward space.
Detailed explanation-4: -Carbon dioxide from the burning of fossil fuels is the largest single source of greenhouse gas emissions from human activities.
Detailed explanation-5: -Carbon dioxide now more than 50% higher than pre-industrial levels | National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.
