 What natural factors affect the global warming?

There are different natural factors that affect global warming, among them are: the changes
in the Earth's orbit, the temperature of the Sun, the effects of volcanoes, deforestation, Ozone,
Pollution produced by aerosols, Greenhouse gases such as (CO₂), methane (CH4), nitrogen
oxide (N₂O), ozone (O3) and chlorofluorocarbons (CFC).
 How these natural factors contribute to global warming? Please explain briefly.

1. A good part of greenhouse gases is generated after the burning of fossil fuels,
that is, all those that are derived from products such as coal, oil and natural gas.
2. Trees have the ability to convert CO2 into oxygen through the photosynthesis
process, thereby helping to reduce air pollution. But if we reduce their number,
the concentration of CO2 and other gases will be higher and, therefore,
terrestrial temperatures will increase.
3. Pesticides, fertilizers and other chemicals used in sectors such as agriculture
and livestock are another direct cause of global warming. They all have a high
content of nitrogen oxide, which is even more harmful than carbon dioxide.

 What are the human factors that have a lower impact on global warming?
Human actions that help to minimize the impact on global warming are daily actions, such
as: using public transportation, disconnecting chargers when not in use, turning off the water,
using organic products, recycling, categorizing garbage.
 Which factor more affects the global warming?
The main agents that cause global warming are greenhouse gases and although there is much
talk about the impact of CO2 or carbon dioxide on the atmosphere, the truth is that a methane
molecule produces 20 times more concentration of heat than a CO2 one.
