Yes. Carbon dioxide is a greenhouse gas. When we increase its atmospheric concentration, as we do by burning fossil fuels, it causes an enhanced greenhouse effect, leading to global warming.
No. The greenhouse effect keeps the earth warm. Extra carbon dioxide added to it is causing global warming.
by releasing carbon dioxide into the atmosphere
Yes, deforestation removes trees that act as a carbon sink, removing and storing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. This increases the greenhouse effect.
The Greenhouse effect.
Yes. Concrete is made from cement, and the manufacture of cement releases carbon dioxide that had been sequestered underground for millions of years. Since the greenhouse effect is the result of atmospheric greenhouse gases, principally carbon dioxide, retaining heat, any increase in the atmospheric level of carbon dioxide contributes to the greenhouse effect and therefore to global warming. Because it is made from cement, concrete is an important contributor to the greenhouse effect.

No. The greenhouse effect keeps the earth warm. Extra carbon dioxide added to it is causing global warming.
It would make the greenhouse effect stronger.
by releasing carbon dioxide into the atmosphere
The greenhouse effect does not increase the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. The greenhouse effect happens because of the carbon dioxide (and other greenhouse gases) in the atmosphere.It is the burning of fossil fuels that increases the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. Burning coal, oil and natural gas releases age-old carbon dioxide that was laid down underground millions of years ago, so letting it free now puts an impossible burden on the carbon cycle, which cannot remove it.
The greenhouse effect - Global warming.

An increase in carbon dioxide in the atmosphere results in an increased amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. A decrease usually results in a decreased concentration of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere

Oil is a carbon-rich substance, and by burning it, we release a lot of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. Carbon Dioxide is a greenhouse gas, so this can increase the Greenhouse Effect, which is linked to global warming.
