Carbon dioxide is explicitly identified as a primary greenhouse gas that contributes to global warming and the greenhouse effect, as established in [1], [2], and [3]. Multiple sources confirm its status as a major component of greenhouse gas emissions resulting from human activities and fossil fuel combustion, as noted in [4], [5], and [6].

Sustainable Energy Transition for Renewable and Low Carbon Grid ... frontiersin.org 9 facts
claimThe primary greenhouse gases emitted by human activities globally are carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide, and F-gases.
claimThe combustion of fossil fuels produces greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide (CO2), sulphur dioxide (SO2), and nitrous oxides (NOx), which contribute to global warming.
claimThe main greenhouse gases resulting from fossil fuel combustion are nitrous oxide (N2O), methane (CH4), and carbon dioxide (CO2).
claimCarbon dioxide accounts for approximately 60% of anthropogenic greenhouse gases, with fossil fuel use in power generation cited as the major cause.
claimGreenhouse gases, such as carbon dioxide, possess the ability to absorb and radiate thermal energy.
claimFossil fuels dominate current global energy systems and contribute significantly to the emission of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases into the atmosphere.
measurementNitrous oxide (N2O) is the third most abundant well-mixed greenhouse gas after carbon dioxide and methane, with an atmospheric life span of approximately 130 years.
measurementCarbon dioxide is the dominant greenhouse gas, with 65% of global emissions resulting from fossil fuel combustion in industry, heat, and power generation, and 11% resulting from agriculture and forestry-related activities.
measurementThe concentration of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere passed 407 ppm in 2018, with the energy sector emerging as the largest emitter of greenhouse gases.
ESS Subtopic 6.2: Climate change – Causes and Impacts mrgscience.com 4 facts
claimNASA and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) report that radiative forcing has increased significantly over the last century due to the accumulation of greenhouse gases, primarily CO2, methane (CH4), and nitrous oxide (N2O).
claimCarbon dioxide (CO2) is the primary greenhouse gas contributing to global warming.
claimGreenhouse gases, including carbon dioxide, methane, and water vapor, contribute to the greenhouse effect by trapping heat in the Earth's atmosphere.
measurementCurrent radiative forcing levels are estimated to be around 1.6 W/m², largely driven by rising carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases.
How the “Scientific Consensus” on Global Warming Affects ... heritage.org 3 facts
claimUnder a cap-and-trade system, emitters of greenhouse gases, primarily carbon dioxide from fossil fuel production, are required to obtain permits for each ton of CO2 emitted, with the price of these permits determined by supply and demand.
claimIn a 2007 Supreme Court case, the court decided that carbon dioxide and five other greenhouse gases are pollutants that can be regulated under the Clean Air Act.
perspectiveThe Heritage Foundation recommends that the United States Congress should amend the Clean Air Act to exclude carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases from the regulatory authority of the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
Comprehensive Overview on the Present State and Evolution of ... link.springer.com 2 facts
claimHuman activities, particularly the excessive use of fossil fuels as energy sources, contribute significantly to global warming by increasing the concentration of greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4), nitrous oxide (N2O), and water vapor in the atmosphere.
claimWater vapor is the Earth's primary greenhouse gas, trapping more heat than carbon dioxide.

claimThe scientific evidence establishing carbon dioxide as a greenhouse gas has been accumulating since approximately 1856.
claimThe U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) climate report acknowledges carbon dioxide as a greenhouse gas but omits scientific evidence linking recent global warming to rising carbon dioxide concentrations caused by human activities.

claimCarbon dioxide is a major greenhouse gas that traps heat in the Earth’s atmosphere, leading to rising global temperatures.
Scientific Consensus - NASA Science science.nasa.gov 1 fact
quoteThe Geological Society of America concurs with assessments by the National Academies of Science (2005), the National Research Council (2011), the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (2013), and the U.S. Global Change Research Program (2014) that global climate has warmed in response to increasing concentrations of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases, and that human activities are the dominant cause of the rapid warming since the middle 1900s.
Nanomaterials in the future biotextile industry: A new cosmovision to ... frontiersin.org 1 fact
claimThe textile industry is considered non-sustainable because the raising of animals and the cultivation of plant crops consume significant space and resources, leading to soil depletion, water consumption, and the emission of greenhouse gases like methane, carbon dioxide, and nitrous oxides.
