The report also outlined the clear correlations between various human activities and the accumulation of greenhouse gasses and subsequent temperature increases. The concentration of greenhouse gases in the earth’s atmosphere is directly linked to the average global temperature on Earth, and the most abundant of greenhouse gas, Carbon dioxide, is produced through the burning of fossil fuels, which we have used since the Industrial Revolution to fuel cars and airplanes, power electricity plants, heat our homes, and produce a variety of common products (What Are). In addition, clear cutting forests, certain farming methods, and the industrialization that has allowed for growing populations, economies, and living standards have caused greenhouse gas numbers to dramatically rise in the past one hundred and fifty years (The Science). The greenhouse gasses we release into the atmosphere, including Carbon dioxide, Methane, Nitrous oxide, Hydrofluorocarbons, Perfluorocarbons, and Sulphur hexaflouride contribute to the amount of heat the atmosphere traps, thus adding to global climate increases. Additionally, the clear cutting of forests to use wood or forested land for industrial purposes releases large amounts specifically of Carbon dioxide while not allowing plants, which take Carbon dioxide out of the atmosphere as part of the natural process of photosynthesis to take in the Carbon dioxide humans are releasing. Naturally, the amount of Carbon dioxide and the other greenhouse gasses in the atmosphere fluctuates, an argument used as part of the clash against the need for environmental protection. Amounts of Carbon dioxide have varied from one hundred eighty to three hundred parts per million naturally throughout large spans of years; however, today Carbon dioxide
