This document discusses global warming and its causes. The main points are: 1) The troposphere traps heat from certain gases, causing the greenhouse effect. The major greenhouse gases are carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide, chlorofluorocarbons, and water vapor. 2) Human activities like burning fossil fuels and deforestation have increased the concentration of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, enhancing the greenhouse effect and raising global temperatures. 3) Carbon dioxide contributes most to increased warming, and industrial countries produce the majority of carbon dioxide emissions from fossil fuel combustion and deforestation.
