Yes, petroleum is one of the fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) and burning it releases carbon dioxide (CO2), the greenhouse gas that is causing global warming. Oil drives much of the transport around the world, but there are hopeful signs that hybrids and electric cars are becoming more practical and affordable.
What else can I help you with?
How can less use of petroleum and electricity contribute in reducing global warming?
Burning petroleum releases carbon dioxide, one of the greenhouse gases that are causing Global Warming.Using electricity (which is largely produced by burning fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas)) produced carbon dioxide when it was generated.Reducing our use of petroleum and fossil fuel generated electricity will contribute to reducing Global Warming.
Where do you use global warming?
You can't use global warming as an object or action.
How does the telephone cause global warming?
The telephone doesn't cause global warming. The use of any electrical appliance contributes to global warming, because most electricity comes from the burning of fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) which releases carbon dioxide, a greenhouse gas.
Who caused global warming?
humans cause global warming, because they are the ones who mainly pollute or use to much hot water, The main point is humans cause global warming
What are one of the small things that cause global warming?
One small thing that contributes to global warming is the use of single-use plastics, which release greenhouse gases when they are produced and when they degrade.
What can be done to mitigate the impact of global warming on penguins?
If we can reduce and slow global warming, then that will mitigate its impact on penguins, as well as on every other living thing on the planet.We can reduce global warming by:Changing from fossil fuel energy to renewable energyPlanting billions of trees.Until this happens we can all: Seriously reduce our use of electricity and petroleum.
How do use global in a sentence?
This new virus is so powerful that it could cause a global epidemic.Some scientists find the theory of global warming to be credible, but others do not.
Why are you contributing to global warming when you use electricity?
When you use electricity for things that cause pollution. This might lead to ozone depletion.
If the removal of oil from the planet earth is the cause global warminghow will we stop the large oil companys from drilling for the earths natural coolants?
The cause of global warming related indirectly with the use ("drilling") of Oil. If you use oil on ur machine, then it will emit a 'greenhouse' gas that will trigger the greenhouse effect thus creating the global warming.
Why is it good to use nuclear energy?
Because it does not cause pollution by producing greenhouse gases and contributing to global warming
Why is it bad to use fossil fuels and biomass?
It is bad to use fossil fuels for many reasons: 1) They release CO2 which cause global warming. 2)They won't last forever. 3) Global warming can make some animals extinct.
How does the petroleum industry contribute to global warming?
Any industry that runs on fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas), adds extra carbon dioxide to the atmosphere, thus contributing to global warming. The petroleum industry does this.As well, it also provides the fossil fuel (petroleum) for the transport industry, which is responsible for 30% of greenhouse gas emissions.Any industry that runs on fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas), adds extra carbon dioxide to the atmosphere, thus contributing to global warming.
