A hair dryer can contribute a very tiny amount to global warming, not because it make the air around you warm, but simpy because it uses electricity. As we move away from burning coal and oil to produce electricity, appliances such as hair dryers will have no effect at all on global warming.

According to a June 20, 2012 NYT article A/C is a very direct large contributer to global warming. Most american units use HFC coolant gases labeled 410a "environmentally friendlY" because they spare the ozone unlike older model A/C. HFC warming effects are 2,100 times greater than carbon dioxide

Heat from the earth, and from volcanoes works the same way. As the heat radiates out from the earth, again it is captured by the greenhouse gases.
Other kinds of heat, produced on earth by burning fossil fuels, will also contribute to global warming, both when the fuel was burnt, and again if any of the heat escapes into the atmosphere. Examples of this are restaurant gas heaters on footpaths to warm diners eating outside!

Which gas traps heat and helps cause global warming?
All greenhouse gases trap heat. The one most responsible for global warming is Carbon Dioxide.
Can global warming cause mutation?
No, global warming will not cause mutations of any kind.
Does Global Warming cause the depletion of the Ozone Layer?
There is very little connection between global warming and the ozone layer.
Is global warming the main cause of the thinning of the ozone layer?
Global warming is a cause of the ozone depletion. However it is not the main cause of it.
Does global warming cause avalanches?
Global warming is unlikely to cause avalanches directly. They are usually caused by runoff from heavy rain and intense storms. Global warming is expected to cause more intense storms and could therefore be an indirect cause of avalanches.
What is the name that gives gases that trap heat and cause global warming?
Greenhouse gasses are the cause of Global Warming.
What is the name given to gases that trap heat and cause global warming?
The name given to gases that trap heat and cause global warming is Greenhouse gases.
Which gas traps heat and helps cause global warming?
All greenhouse gases trap heat. The one most responsible for global warming is Carbon Dioxide.
What could be an introduction for my speech on global warming?
A:Global warming is a very big issue in the world today. Global warming is when the earth's temperature rises. The cause of global warming is when greenhouse gases trap heat and light from the sun [in the atmosphere of the earth] causing the earth to heat up. Global warming affects animals and our environment, such as rise in sea levels which will cause extinction for more than a thousand species.
Is global warming a cause or a effect of climate change?
Global warming is the cause of climate change.Climate change is the result of global warming.
Can global warming cause lake fires?
No global warming can not cause Lake fires .
How do polar bears cause global warming?
Polar bears do not cause global warming.
Can global warming cause mutation?
No, global warming will not cause mutations of any kind.
Does Global Warming cause the depletion of the Ozone Layer?
There is very little connection between global warming and the ozone layer.
Increased carbon dioxide may cause global warming by?
trapping more heat in the atmosphere :)
What is the environmental impact in Tonga?
It is when the Global Warming affects it will cause heat. when heat is to hot the ocean and it will cause the ocean cycle and it wouold cause hurricanes, and if we dont do anything about the global warming the earth will be filled wit heat and it will be locked down to earth, and it will cause death , the ocean liveng thing would have to adapt to the new weather if they dont they will die!!
Is ozone depletion the cause why there is global warming?
Yes, it is. It is responsible for global warming.
