Here are some of the things that cause Greenhouse Gases to be released

Fossil Fuel Combustion // Non-Energy Use of Fuels

Iron and Steel Production // Cement Manufacture

Waste Combustion // Ammonia Production and Urea Application

Lime Manufacture // Limestone and Dolomite Use

Natural Gas Flaring // Aluminum Production

Soda Ash Manufacture and Consumption // Petrochemical Production

Titanium Dioxide Production // Phosphoric Acid Production

Ferroalloys // Carbon Dioxide Consumption

Zinc Production // Lead Production

Silicon Carbide Consumption // Land-Use Change and Forestry

Biomass Combustionb // CH4

Wastewater Treatment // Petroleum Systems

Human Sewage // Nitric Acid

Substitution of Ozone Depleting Substances // Landfills

Natural Gas Systems //Enteric Fermentation

Coal Mining // Manure Management

Silicon Carbide Production // International Bunker Fuels

Rice Cultivation // Petrochemical Production

Field Burning of Agricultural Residues // Abandoned Coal Mines

N2O // Agricultural Soil Management

Adipic Acid // N2O Product Usage

Waste Combustion // Electrical Transmission and Distribution

Magnesium Production and Processing // HCFC-22 Production

If that is just part of them, and if some of them look like they are harmless...then you start to get the picture of just how big this issue really is...and with population growing we are going to have a lot of things to overcome.
