Here are some to keep at the tip of your fingers:
1. A significant cause of global warming increase in global temperature is through human activities such as burning of fossil fuels, cutting down of trees and similar agricultural activities.
2. The average temperature on earth would be too cold to sustain life if there were no greenhouse gases gases that trap heat in the atmosphere and warm the planet. But too much of these gases in the atmosphere is warming the earth more than usual.

3. The destruction of forests is a major cause of carbon dioxide release. This is because forests serve as carbon sinks, storing carbon as they grow, but when humans cut down forest trees, they release the carbon trapped in these trees back into the atmosphere, thus increasing global warming.
