While the greenhouse effect is an essential environmental prequisite
for life on Earth, there really can be too much of a good thing.
The problems begin when human activities distort and accelerate the
natural process by creating more greenhouse gases in the
atmosphere than are necessary to warm the planet to an ideal
temperature.
•Burning natural gas, coal and oil -including gasoline for
automobile engines-raises the level of carbon dioxide in the
atmosphere.
•Some farming practices and land-use changes increase the
levels of methane and nitrous oxide.
•Many factories produce long-lasting industrial gases that do
not occur naturally, yet contribute significantly to the
enhanced greenhouse effect and "global warming" that is
currently under way.
•Deforestation also contributes to global warming.
Trees use carbon dioxide and give off oxygen in its
place, which helps to create the optimal balance of
gases in the atmosphere. As more forests are logged
for timber or cut down to make way for farming,
however, there are fewer trees to perform this critical
function.
•Population growth is another factor in global
warming, because as more people use fossil fuels for
heat, transportation and manufacturing the level of
greenhouse gases continues to increase. As more
farming occurs to feed millions of new people, more
greenhouse gases enter the atmosphere.
Carbon dioxide emissions from fossil fuel burning power plants

Our ever increasing addiction to electricity from coal burning power
plants releases enormous amounts of carbon dioxide into the
atmosphere. 40% of U.S. CO2 emissions come from electricity
production, and burning coal accounts for 93% of emissions from the
electric utility industry.Every day, more electric gadgets flood the
market, and without widespread alternative energy sources, we are
highly dependent on burning coal for our personal and commercial
electrical supply.
Carbon dioxide emissions from burning gasoline for transportation

Our modern car culture and appetite for globally sourced goods is responsible
for about 33% of emissions in the U.S.With our population growing at an
alarming rate, the demand for more cars and consumer goods means that we
are increasing the use of fossil fuels for transportation and manufacturing. Our
consumption is outpacing our discoveries of ways to mitigate the effects, with
no end in sight to our massive consumer culture.
Deforestation, especially tropical forests for wood, pulp, and farmland

The use of forests for fuel (both wood and for charcoal) is one cause of
deforestation, but in the first world, our appetite for wood and paper
products, our consumption of livestock grazed on former forest land, and the
use of tropical forest lands for commodities like palm oil plantations contributes
to the mass deforestation of our world. Forests remove and store carbon
dioxide from the atmosphere, and this deforestation releases large amounts of
carbon, as well as reducing the amount of carbon capture on the planet.
Increase in usage of chemical fertilizers on croplands

In the last half of the 20th century, the use of chemical fertilizers (as opposed to
the historical use of animal manure) has risen dramatically. The high rate of
application of nitrogen-rich fertilizers has effects on the heat storage of cropland
(nitrogen oxides have 300 times more heat-trapping capacity per unit of volume
than carbon dioxide) and the run-off of excess fertilizers creates ‘dead-zones’ in
our oceans. In addition to these effects, high nitrate levels in groundwater due to
over-fertilization are cause for concern for human health.
