Fossil fuel combustion is a primary human activity that releases greenhouse gases, as evidenced by [1], and specifically produces major greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide, methane, and nitrous oxide [2]. Furthermore, [3] quantifies this relationship by noting that 65% of global carbon dioxide emissions originate from fossil fuel combustion.
