Methane represents 17% of GHGs globally (mainly agriculture, but also during production (particularly leaks) and combustion of fossil fuels). Nitrous oxide is not directly linked to the use of fossil fuels.
The combustion of fossil fuels causes CO2 emissions into the atmosphere. CO2 represents more than 70% of anthropogenic GHGs (greenhouse gases) globally.
