Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Carbon dioxide (CO2) is the main anthropogenic (human-caused) greenhouse gas produced in the United States, primarily from burning fossil fuels for energy and transportation. While it is a significant greenhouse gas, it is not the most abundant (water vapor is), nor the most potent per molecule (gases like methane and nitrous oxide are more potent), and it is not the only greenhouse gas increasing in the atmosphere (methane, nitrous oxide, and others are also increasing).
