Yes, Most cars run on petroleum, a fossil fuel. When fossil fuel is burnt it releases the carbon that has been stored in it for millions of years. This carbon dioxide adds to the greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, contributing to global warming.

A:They burn fossil fuels (ie, petrol or natural gas) which in turn releases carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. Carbon dioxide is a known greenhouse gas and too high levels of it in the atmosphere 'traps' the sun's heat which otherwise would be reflected back into space.

Green house gases comes from many sources. Burning fossil fuels is one thing that causes them. Fossil fuels are fuels made of organic matter such as coal, or oil.

No, men travelling to the moon would have very little effect on global warming. Emissions from spacecraft do add carbon dioxide (CO2) to the atmosphere, but not much more than an aeroplane. Emissions from burning fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) is the main cause of global warming.
