Because carbon dioxide is still the biggest contributor to the anthropogenic greenhouse effect, and because it was the first to be identified, the experts measure the greenhouse effect of other trace gases in terms of their carbon dioxide equivalent - this also makes it easier to take on board and update the estimates of future climatic changes based on the carbon dioxide effect alone, simply by adding in the appropriate extra amount of carbon dioxide. 1, record 1, English, - anthropogenic%20greenhouse%20effect

Les chlorofluorocarbures, ou CFC, sont des gaz à effet de serre presque exclusivement d'origine anthropique.

Les émissions d'origine humaine perturbent l'équilibre thermique de l'atmosphère et risquent, à la longue, d'entraîner des changements climatiques importants. C'est cela que l'on appelle aujourd'hui l'effet de serre, à savoir la dérive anthropique (résultant de l'action de l'homme) et néfaste d'un phénomène parfaitement naturel et bénéfique. 3, record 1, French, - effet%20de%20serre%20anthropique
