Carbon dioxide and nitrous oxide are both classified as primary greenhouse gases that contribute to global warming and climate change [1], [2], [3]. They are frequently cited together as key anthropogenic emissions resulting from human activities such as fossil fuel combustion and agricultural practices [4], [5], [6], [7].

Sustainable Energy Transition for Renewable and Low Carbon Grid ... frontiersin.org 6 facts
claimThe primary greenhouse gases emitted by human activities globally are carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide, and F-gases.
claimThe main greenhouse gases resulting from fossil fuel combustion are nitrous oxide (N2O), methane (CH4), and carbon dioxide (CO2).
claimNitrous oxide (N2O) has the highest individual and average global warming potential, followed by methane and carbon dioxide, while water has no global warming potential.
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.
claimCoal combustion generates ash, carbon dioxide, nitrous oxide (N2O), and sulfur dioxide (SO2), resulting in a high environmental impact.
claimCarbon dioxide is more significant than methane and nitrous oxide in terms of atmospheric impact because it is more abundant and persists longer in the atmosphere.
Comprehensive Overview on the Present State and Evolution of ... link.springer.com 4 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.
claimThe most substantial and least uncertain perturbation in climate forcing is associated with changes in the atmospheric concentrations of long-lived, uniformly distributed greenhouse gases, specifically CO2, CH4, N2O, and halogenated compounds like CFCs.
measurementCO2, CH4, N2O, dichlorodifluoromethane (CFC-12), and trichlorofluoromethane (CFC-11) collectively contribute to approximately 96% of the radiative forcing attributed to long-lived greenhouse gases.
measurementNitrous oxide (N2O) has a warming capacity greater than 300-fold compared to carbon dioxide (CO2), though its atmospheric concentration is substantially lower.
ESS Subtopic 6.2: Climate change – Causes and Impacts mrgscience.com 2 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).
claimThe primary anthropogenic greenhouse gases contributing to the enhanced greenhouse effect are carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4), and nitrous oxide (N2O).

quoteThe American Meteorological Society (AMS) issued this position statement on April 15, 2019: "Scientific evidence indicates that the leading cause of climate change in the most recent half century is the anthropogenic increase in the concentration of atmospheric greenhouse gases, including carbon dioxide (CO2), chlorofluorocarbons, methane, tropospheric ozone, and nitrous oxide."
