There are a lot of sources of greenhouse gases. Even in hairsprays, some chemicals in it especially the cfc--chlorofluorocarbon contribute to this greenhouse problem. People might not know, but burning garbages, especially those non-biodegradable ones, contribute much to global warming/greenhouse effect.

Cow farts.
They did a study back in the 90's that said that animals releasing methane gas is the main cause of greenhouse gases. Not Hummers.

i'm a doubter that CO2 performs as plenty a place in climate replace as some assert even though it certainly is a greenhouse gas and positively will strengthen the temperature. i'm skeptical that it certainly drives the temperature. it is notably plenty shown with the aid of the cooling vogue we are experiencing and in many circumstances envisioned to final for the subsequent countless years. If the organic vogue replaced into to head back right into a chilly era, i would not be valuable that the extra CO2 we further might make a lot of a dent even though it may grant some moderation in that hypothetical cooling vogue. with the aid of how, I do delight in being talked approximately as a doubter particularly than a denier. That be conscious gets below my epidermis.

Plants, all plants to include trees, take in CO2 (carbon) and with their life processes fix that and build bodies with it and other nutrients. They frequently grow for years in forests, swamps, ocean/ lake muds, and savannas, and when they die they form layers of material that is carbon rich from all the CO2 they remove from their years of growth. This material over time is frequently buried and compressed and changed becoming the huge underground reservoirs of oil and coal and natural gas.The processing and then burning of fossil fuels in these forms then takes all those years of CO2 (that has been mineralized and removed from the environment) and releases it back into the air in just a matter of hours in comparison to how long it took to store it. Even burning wood, or trash, or anything, releases CO2 and other gases and particles.
Lime and limestone are the CO2 remains from sea life shells. The ocean holds (if I remember correctly) 70% of the CO2 on earth (thats a nice thing to screw up). When lime is taken out of the ground it is frequently heated to make a more active product, not only for agriculture but for the HUGE concrete industry. Millions of tons of CO2 are sent up into the air. Hurting the marine environments will not only release some CO2 but will destroy the ability of ocean organisms to use CO2, and once the ocean environment is saturated with it, no more will then be used up and replaced.
Animals, and we have to include humans here, make CO2 through respiration. We do have a lot of animals raised for meat, and cow burps (which are much more prevailent than their flatulence) have a lot of methane and some CO2. The meat industry, though, is not such a huge culpret in cows, but it adds up with the effects of the rest of the industry that supports it.
Industry and manufacturing is a big polluter, with huge amounts of CO2, methane, and a large number of other gases and particulates, as well as water pollution which takes it's toll indirectly on the air quality. Third world countries in their bid to produce and catch up are the worst offenders but only because the west frequently turns a blind eye, as the "end justifies the means". So we shake a finger at them with one hand and fork over the cash for the products with the other hand. Now that "the horse is out of the barn" when it comes to pollution on a global level, most everyone want to be the first on the block to have a "small carbon footprint". Gotta luv the rheteric as long as it's more than just B.S.
There is more to it than this but that is the jist of it. Any small amount of research will give a barrel full of information.

Carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide and three groups of fluorinated gases (sulfur hexafluoride, HFCs, and PFCs) are the major greenhouse gases.
The sources are; industrial processes, automobiles, power generation, agricultural activities, land clearing and burning off, animal husbandry, transportation of goods, biomatter decomposition, waste facility emissions (tips), and even hair spray to name but a few major ones.

fossil fuel are mostly plants fosslised and there are a lot of carbon dixiode in them so when we burn these fossils to recieve the energy the carbon dixiode is released into the atmosphere causing the gas to make a big blanket around the earth making the earth warm because it is trapping the warmth inside

Your breath............. just joking
Co2 is the most important factor that contitutes to global warming. it is the only gas to have a heat retaining abilitiy.
AND I WAS JUST KIDDING ABOUT THAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
