Explanation:

global warming is principally produced by water vapour (whose quantity is howerver regoled by themperature),carbon dioxyde, (that you obtain from combustion of fossil fuels and that is rised from 300 to 400 ppm in the last century), suspended particles, and methane (that is released from rice fields, ruminantt farms, swamp lakes, landfills). Among the fuels, methane is the one that give less #CO_2# and less pollution of suspended particles but it's moleculas is 25 time worst than #CO_2# as greenhouse effect
