Humans, since the industrial revolution have been producing these greenhouse gasses that play a major part in the greenhouse effect. Since the industrial revolution there has been a huge spike in the amount of greenhouse gasses that are being released into the atmosphere (as seen in graph ... 1). Since there are more gasses in the atmosphere more heat is being trapped in and making the earth warmer. The more gas, the hotter the earth gets. Since the Industrial Revolutio...
