Abstract

The global temperature of the planet is directly related to human activity. Landfills, vehicles, deforestation, production and, in particular, livestock, affect the temperature change on the planet and global warming. Greenhouse gas emissions, solid aerosol particles and soot, deforestation, methane, nitrous oxide and freons’ concentration in the Earth’s atmosphere are the key influencers on the changes in the global temperature. All of it is the result of human’s activities and needs the human control. The problem of the impact of the human activity on the global warming in environmental economics should be scrutinized in order to avoid the negative effects from its distribution. Research methods used: system analysis, synthesis, comparison and generalization and econometrics’ methodology. The main results include investigation into the impact of the human activity on the global warming (the level of global temperature as the main indicator) on the global world level. They showed that all of the chosen types of human activities influence on the global warming – rising temperature and industrial production and livestock have the greatest impact on global warming during the period.
