Greenhouse gas emissions from human actions help the greenhouse effect grow, causing climate change. Most is carbon dioxide from burning fossil fuels: coal, oil, and natural gas. The largest makers of this include coal in China and large oil and gas companies. Human-caused emissions have increased atmospheric carbon dioxide by about 50%.
