Carbon dioxide is identified as a primary greenhouse gas emitted during fossil fuel combustion, as evidenced by its role in global emissions [1], [2] and its significant contribution to atmospheric accumulation [3], [4]. Furthermore, human-driven fossil fuel combustion is explicitly cited as a major cause of the increase in atmospheric carbon dioxide levels [5].

claimThe main greenhouse gases resulting from fossil fuel combustion are nitrous oxide (N2O), methane (CH4), and carbon dioxide (CO2).
measurementOver 400 billion metric tons of carbon dioxide have been released into the atmosphere from fossil fuel combustion and cement production since 1751.
measurementIn 2014, emissions from cement production were 568 million metric tons of carbon, representing 5.8% of global CO2 emissions from fossil-fuel burning and cement production.
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.
measurementApproximately 200 billion metric tons of carbon dioxide have originated from fossil fuel combustion since the late 1980s.

claimThe warming of the Earth is mainly the result of a rapid increase in atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) caused by human activities, including fossil fuel combustion, cement production, and land use changes such as deforestation.
