How is gasoline related to global warming?

Gasoline, or petrol, is a fossil fuel. When it is burned it releases carbon dioxide (CO2). This CO2 is not part of the normal carbon cycle which moves carbon in and out of the atmosphere. This is CO2 that has been hidden away underground for millions of years. Releasing this is adding more gases to the greenhouse effect, which is why the earth is warming all over. This is global warming.

Why is it important to know global warming?

It is important to know about and understand global warming so that we can understand the important decisions political leaders are making to abate global warming. Unless we really understand what is happening and the risks involved in allowing global warming to continue, we risk being misled by those with vested interests, who would have us believe either that global warming is not real or that it is real but there is nothing we can do. If we know about global warming, we also understand what we can do to help. We will understand that everything we do to reduce our electricity consumption will help, and we will understand that reducing our petrol or gasoline consumption is another way to help.
