CO<sub>2</sub>, or carbon dioxide, is the main anthropogenic (produced by human activities) greenhouse gas in terms of emissions. These emissions come from our use of fossil fuels and from deforestation. | |||

* [[En-en adult card 5 fossil fuels|Fossil fuels]] Coal, oil and natural gas emit CO<sub>2</sub> during combustion. | * [[En-en adult card 5 fossil fuels|Fossil fuels]] Coal, oil and natural gas emit CO<sub>2</sub> during combustion. | ||
== | * [[En-en adult card 6 deforestation|Deforestation]] emits CO<sub>2</sub> because a large proportion of deforestation caused by man is achieved by burning the forests. | ||

=== Global === | |||
The global energy mix is 85% dependent on fossil fuels<ref> [https://www.planete-energies.com/en/medias/close/what-energy-mix Global energy mix] </ref> and today renewable energy sources tend to add capacity rather than replace fossil fuels. | The global energy mix is 85% dependent on fossil fuels<ref> [https://www.planete-energies.com/en/medias/close/what-energy-mix Global energy mix] </ref> and today renewable energy sources tend to add capacity rather than replace fossil fuels. | ||
