Global warming is caused by the build up of gases in the atmosphere such as carbon dioxide and methane, which form a sort of blanket over the Earth, trapping in heat that would normally escape the atmosphere. The leading greenhouse gas is carbon dioxide, a pollutant emitted from the burning of fossil fuels, such as coal, oil, and natural has. While it is true that there has always been some natural climate variability, the changes that are currently underway are unlike anything that has been seen before. Record levels of carbon dioxide are having a far reaching change over our weather, sea levels, and climate.

Washington, November 12 : A new research by a scientist at the Georgia Institute of Technology has determined that reducing greenhouse gases may not be enough to slow down global warming, and policymakers would need to address the influence of global deforestation and urbanization on climate change.
- Reducing greenhouse gases may not be enough to slow global warming (story.malaysiasun.com)
Because land use changes are responsible for 50 percent of warming in the US, policymakers need to address the influence of global deforestation and urbanization on climate change, in addition to greenhouse gas emissions.

CHICAGO — Health care, a giant in the U.S. economy, may be a gentle giant when it comes to greenhouse gases. According to the first estimate of the sector's carbon footprint, the health care industry emits less than its share of the gases that promote global warming, compared to its size in the economy.

People will need to turn vegetarian if the world is to conquer climate change, according to a leading authority on global warming. In an interview with The Times, Lord Stern of Brentford said: “Meat is a wasteful use of water and creates a lot of greenhouse gases. It puts enormous pressure on the world’s resources. A vegetarian diet is better.” Direct emissions of methane from cows and pigs is a significant source of greenhouse gases...

This is not a web site for debating global warming. If you are interested in greenhouse gases, and the relative radiative forcing of each, and the (very important) amount of time a particular gas sticks around in the atmosphere once emitted, start with this Wikipedia summary primer on Greenhouse Gases:

A mission looking to curb global warming is geared up to take flight. The
mission consists of a series of experiments conducted on an airplane.
The study results will help scientists understand the behavior of
carbon dioxide, one of the highest-impact greenhouse gases in the
atmosphere, as well as other greenhouse gases.

Commercial and individual use of fossil fuels to generate energy has been widespread for several decades around the world. However, these fossil fuels release greenhouse gases like CO2 and methane, which adversely affect the environment. Increasing concentration of these greenhouse gases in the air is causing the phenomenon of global warming, with grave repercussions for the planet.How Carbon Credits Work Towards A Cleaner Planet is a post...
