The burning of fossil fuels by humans has had the most drastic impact on the stability of our atmosphere. Fossil fuels, such as coal, oil, and natural gas, release large amounts of carbon dioxide (CO2) and other greenhouse gases when burned for energy. These greenhouse gases contribute to the greenhouse effect, trapping heat in the atmosphere and causing global warming. This human activity has led to an increase in atmospheric CO2 concentrations, which is the primary driver of climate change. The burning of fossil fuels is the largest contributor to greenhouse gas emissions and has significantly altered the balance of gases in the atmosphere, leading to detrimental effects on the Earth's climate system.
