Natural sources of greenhouse gases Volcanic eruptions, methane from decomposition, nitrous oxide from the nitrogen cycle, water vapor
Anthropogenic sources of greenhouse gases Use of fossil fuels, agricultural practices, deforestation, landfills, industrial production of new greenhouse chemicals
Kyoto Protocol An agreement made in 1997 saying emissions of greenhouse gases from all industrialized countries would be reduced to 5.2 percent below their 1990 levels by 2012 (it varied for each country - 7% for the US, 8% for the EU, 0% for Russia)
