Per NASA in 2024, global warming is mainly caused by the burning of fossil fuels and the trapping of heat-producing gases in the Earth’s atmosphere:
Global warming refers to the long-term warming of the planet. Global temperature shows a well-documented rise since the early 20th century and most notably since the late 1970s. Worldwide since 1880, the average surface temperature has risen about 1°C (about 2°F), relative to the mid-20th century baseline (of 1951-1980). This is on top of about an additional 0.15°C of warming from between 1750 and 1880.
