No. Sulphur dioxide is a greenhouse gas, but it's not nearly as prevalent or powerful as carbon dioxide, which is responsible for global warming.
Sulphur dioxide is a greenhouse gas contributing to global warming. It is released from volcanic eruptions and from burning anything with sulphur in it, notably coal and oil.
In the atmosphere it exists as a trace gas with levels of about 1 ppbv (parts per billion by volume). It is taken out of the atmosphere when it dissolves into water to form acid rain.

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.
What atmospheric gas is thought to cause global climate warming?
Carbon Dioxide or CO2 is thought to be the cause of global warming. Carbon dioxide is one of the products from a combustion reaction.
Which gas is used as reference to calculate global warming potential?
Carbon Dioxide (CO2) is given a Global Warming Potential measure of 1.There are many green house gases that cause global warming but the gas used as reference to calculate global warming potential is carbon dioxide (Co2)
Does carbon dioxide and sulfur dioxide cause any problems?
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 three gases cause global warming?
Water Vapor, carbon dioxide, and Methane.
Which gas is the primary cause of global warming is sulfur dioxide nitrogene dioxide carbone dioxide or ozone?
carobon dioxide
What does carbon dioxide pollution cause?
Global warming.
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.
What atmospheric gas is thought to cause global climate warming?
Carbon Dioxide or CO2 is thought to be the cause of global warming. Carbon dioxide is one of the products from a combustion reaction.
Are ammonia factories the cause of global warming?
No. The primary cause of global warming is carbon dioxide from burning fossil fuels such as coal and oil.
What are one of the small things that cause global warming?
the carbon dioxide
Is pollution a major cause for global warming?
No. The United States is the top contributor to global warming emissions. The US produces more carbon dioxide emissions than China, India, and Japan, combined.
How may the increase of air pollution in the Earth's atmosphere cause global warming?
Air pollution would not cause global warming. Pollution of our air is rarely done with colorless gases. Sulfur Dioxide, for example has some color. These gases would cause an effect called global dimming. This increases the albedo effect and would cool the planet. Water vapor and CO2 cause the warming our planet. Most of this is very natural (over 99%). The addition of CO2 to our atmosphere is believed to cause some level of warming.
Carbon dioxide is known as?
Carbon dioxide is known as a greenhouse gas which cause global warming.
How much has the air polluted because of global warming?
None. Global warming does not cause pollution. In fact, it is the other way round. Carbon dioxide pollution is causing global warming.
Which gas is used as reference to calculate global warming potential?
Carbon Dioxide (CO2) is given a Global Warming Potential measure of 1.There are many green house gases that cause global warming but the gas used as reference to calculate global warming potential is carbon dioxide (Co2)
What gasses cause global warming?
Methane, carbon dioxide, CFCs (chlorofluorocarbons).
