Yes. Most electricity is still generated by burning fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas). This releases carbon dioxide, a greenhouse gas responsible for global warming. If nobody in the world wasted electricity, we could stop building so many coal fired power stations (and slow global warming).
What else can I help you with?
Do you slow global warming by putting your litter in the trash?
Putting litter in the trash helps keep the environment clean and reduces pollution, but it does not directly slow global warming. To slow global warming, it is important to reduce overall waste generation, increase recycling and composting efforts, and lower carbon emissions through sustainable practices.
Why should you turn off the light when I am sleeping to reduce global warming?
Turning off the lights when not in use helps reduce energy consumption, which in turn reduces the amount of greenhouse gas emissions produced from generating electricity. This can help mitigate the effects of global warming by lowering the overall carbon footprint associated with energy use.
How can the school curriculum adjust to deal with global warming?
Students should learn about global warming from the earliest years, as soon as they learn about turning off lights and computers. They have to look at the ethical questions of acting and not acting as well as the effects and remedies. Students are the adults of the future who will be living through global warming. They deserve to understand what legacy we have left them.
What is the difference between Earth Day and Earth Hour?
Earth Hour was started by the World Wildlife Fund in 2007 to raise awareness for global warming and the need for sustainability. It is a global event that takes place for one hour during the last Saturday of March and is observed by turning off all of one's lights for the duration of the hour.Earth Hour was started by the World Wildlife Fund in 2007 to raise awareness for global warming and the need for sustainability.

How can you increase global warming?
Increasing global warming can be achieved by burning more fossil fuels, such as coal, oil, and natural gas which release greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. Deforestation can also contribute to global warming by reducing the number of trees that absorb carbon dioxide. Additionally, industrial activities that release potent greenhouse gases, such as methane and nitrous oxide, can exacerbate global warming.
Can leaving lights on when they are not in use be a cause of global warming?
Yes. Leaving lights turned on when not in use does contribute to greenhouse gas emissions and therefore to global warming. A good rule of thumb is that household appliances consume electricity and therefore contribute to global warming in proportion to the amount of heat they produce. Incandescent light globes work by heating a wire filament until it glows white hot, so they are obviously very heavy users of electricity. However, there are other things we can do other than just turning off lights all the time. Replacing these by modern high-efficiency, low energy lights uses a fraction of the electricity and therefore contributes only a fraction of the carbon emissions that lead to global warming. With high-efficiency, low energy lights we need be less concerned about leaving lights on for a few minutes, and get on with enjoying life.

Can you think of any more ways to reduce global warming individually?
Recycle, turn off water, turn off lights, get fluorescent lights. You know that kind of stuff.

Can you fix the mess of global warming before its to late?
It is possible to stop Global warming but it will be hard and everyone on earth has to help. All we really have to do is produce less carbon dioxide which is created from burning fossil fuels. We can help by using the car and electronics less or turning of lights and the TV or computer whenever we are not using them. Major ways to help such as building more wind turbines would be an even better way to help though.
What is global warming and how can you help?
Global warming means that the earth is getting warmer and warmer. This is happening because we have deforested the planet and we have dug up and burned fossil fuels, like coal, oil and natural gas, for industry, transport and to generate electricity. We can help by planting millions of trees. We can also help by reducing our use of electricity and oil. There are many ways of doing this, from turning off lights to riding bicycles instead or riding in cars.

Could global dimming reduce the effects of global warming?
Yes, as light pollution radiates the earth's atmosphere with carbon. No one knows exactly how well will it work if EVERYONE turned off their lights, but maybe we can dim our A/C output a bit after a month of dimming lights :D

What could a family do to reduce global warming?
turn the lights off when their not in the room, walk to the park instead of drive, or watch TV together. hope this was helpful *3*
How do you figure out the code of the lights on Skullduggery Island?
In Golden Harbor, turn on the 5th, 3rd, 4th, 2nd, and 1st lights in that order. This will prevent you from turning the wrong ones off.
