CO2 can act as both a primary driver, if humans burn fossil fuels to increase CO2 levels, and a secondary driver (part of the positive feedback loop) if CO2 levels increase naturally as a result of other forcings which cause a warming and which, in turn, lead to increased CO2 levels.

5 (3) Causes of the climate change This warming is largely attributed to the increase of greenhouse gases (carbon dioxide and methane) in the Earth's atmosphere caused by human burning of fossil fuels, industrial, farming, and deforestation activities.
