The ways that humans increase the amount of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere include the burning of fossil fuels and deforestation.

Greenhouse gases are gases that form a blanket of air in the atmosphere and prevent reflected rays of the sun to escape back into space, thereby heating up the planet.

Greenhouse gases include methane, oxides of nitrogen, and carbon dioxide; the latter being the chief warmer.

The burning of fossil fuels releases gases such as carbon dioxide, and oxides of nitrogen thereby increasing the atmospheric concentration of the greenhouse gases.

Forests serve as sinks for carbon dioxide. Hence, removing them (deforestation) means that less carbon dioxide can be fixed which will, in turn, increase the amount of the gas in the atmosphere.
