Co2emmisions
Primary Cause: Carbon Dioxide emissions
CO2 is being pumped into our atmosphere at an insane pace; 8 billion tons of CO2 entered the air last year. The beginning of global warming was caused by fossil fuels being burned and emitting plenty of CO2.
Currently in the world 40% of all CO2 emissions are caused by power plants. These are burning coal, natural gas and diesel fuel.
33% of all the CO2 sent forth is the product of cars and trucks. Internal combustion engines burning fossil fuels. Gasoline and diesel spew forth a retching amount of CO2.
3.5% of all CO2 emissions are released from aircraft. Unfortunately, jets and other aircraft deliver their payload of pollutants directly into the troposphere.
Other causes include: Emission of Methane, Nitrogen oxides, Fluorinated gases
