Yes, carbon dioxide (CO2) contributes to global warming and climate change. Sulphur dioxide, another by-product of burning of fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas), causes acid rain.

What is the primary source of sulfur dioxide?
Volcanoes produce more sulfur dioxide than any other cause. Some sulfur dioxide is also release from the burning of sulfur-rich fossil fuels.
Would increases in carbon dioxide in your atmosphere cause a cooling trend?
No, increases in carbon dioxide in your atmosphere would cause a warming trend.
Is sun spot cycles or carbon dioxide in the atmosphere more important for global warming?
Carbon dioxide. The increase of carbon dioxide is the cause of global warming.
Can carbon dioxide cause the depletion of the ozone layer?
Carbon dioxide can cause the depletion of ozone indirectly. It is due to the global warming which then causes ozone depletion.
What gases do volcanoes release into the atmosphere?
Many gases are released by Stratoolcanoes, including Sulphur Dioxide (which harms the Ozone layer and cause acid rain), Carbon Dioxide (which causes a natural "Greenhouse effect"*) , hydrogen chloride (which effects animals eyes and respiratory system causing them to irritate and can cause effects on human beings.) Thank you very much for reading, Fumfig.
4 pollutants that cause air pollution?
1.Methane 2.Chlorofluorocarbon 3.Carbon dioxide 4.Nitrogen dioxide 5.Carbon monoxide 6.Sulfur dioxide
What does sulfur dioxide do to your body?
It cause lungs irritation and other respiratory and blood related problems
What problems do particles in the air cause?
carbon dioxide and unhealthy air
What problems occur when theres to much sulfur dioxide in the air?
The main problem with sulfur dioxide in atmosphere is the influence for acid rain. Sulfur dioxide molecules can react with rainwater to form sulfuric acid. Additionally, as sulfur dioxide is irritant to breathe, it may cause respiratory hazards too.
What pollution is caused by sulfur dioxide?
Sulfur dioxide is a major cause of acid rain.
Why burning plastic is harmful?
it is harmful -------- Examples: releasing of carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, sometimes nitrogen dioxide or sulfur dioxide or fluorine compounds, many other organic compounds, flying ash.
When sulfur dioxide and nitrogen dioxide are released into the air they can cause?
It can cause acidic air.
What products are made when hydrocarbons burn and the problems they cause?
Burning of hydrorbons release carbon dioxide and water.
Why are low sulphur fuels good?
A gas, sulfur dioxide, is released from fuels containing sulfur. Both coal and oil may contain some sulfur. Sulfur dioxide can cause breathing problems. Sulfur dioxide can combine with water vapor to create acid rain, destroying vegetation in lakes and forests. I do not agree that burning low sulfur fuels is good, just less harmful than high sulfur fuels. See related links.
What chemicals cause smog?
sulfur dioxide i belive
What is the primary source of sulfur dioxide?
Volcanoes produce more sulfur dioxide than any other cause. Some sulfur dioxide is also release from the burning of sulfur-rich fossil fuels.
Is burning of coal a cause of acid precipitation?
Yes, burning coal releases carbon dioxide, sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides. These all combine with rain to form acid rain. Carbon dioxide actually forms a very weak acid rain but the others are more damaging.
