Does using solar energy contribute to the global climate change?

Using solar energy, such as solar panels, does not contribute to global climate change. Solar panels use silicon chips to convert the sunlight into electricity. Electricity is good and is not harmful to the environment at all. What is harmful to the environment is huge amounts of carbon dioxide which cause global warming. Most electricity is produced by burning coal which lets off a lot of carbon dioxide. However, using a solar panel does not create any emissions whatsoever and actually benefits the environment because you are using less electricity made from coal.

Does nuclear or coal energy mostly contribute to the climate change?
Coal energy releases greenhouse gases when burnt, causing global warming. Nuclear power has very little effect on climate change.
Where did climate change all begin?
Global warming and global climate change happen all over the world. That is the meaning of global.
Is there any ways that the world can stop global warming?
No there is not. Climate change/global warming or cooling is a natural phenomena. We may be able to reduce the rate of change by sensible use of energy.
Is climate change a rise in the temperature of the earth?
No, global warming is a rise in the temperature of the earth. Global warming is causing climate change.
Is both global environment and global warming is same?
Not quite, though they are very closely connected. Global warming is the warming of the earth. This is causing climate change, which is the many different changes in climate that are beginning to happen.

How do humans contribute to climate change not including global warming?
Humans are contributing to global warming (by burning fossil fuel and cutting down forests) and global warming is CAUSING climate change.
Why is the term climate change used than global warming?
Global warming causes climate change. We now use the term climate change because it deals with all the many changes. Global warming is still happening and the warming is putting more energy into the atmosphere. This extra energy is changing the climate.
How does global warming change the climate?
Global warming affects the climate because it puts extra heat into the oceans and atmosphere. Heat is energy, and this energy is used to change our weather, with stronger storms and changes to wind and ocean currents. After a number of years this changed weather becomes changed climate.
What questions should you ask about climate change?
What is causing climate change? (Global Warming)What is causing global warming? (Burning fossil fuels, deforestation)How can we stop climate change? (Change to renewable energy instead of fossil fuels)What can we do at home? (Don't waste any electricity. Reduce private transport use)How can we change governments minds? (Vote for Carbon pricing and Green energy)
Is global warming a cause or a effect of climate change?
Global warming is the cause of climate change.Climate change is the result of global warming.
Where did climate change all begin?
Global warming and global climate change happen all over the world. That is the meaning of global.
What is climate change global warming causing?
"Climate Change" and "Global Warming" are not the same, though related. Global Warming causes Climate Change. With Global Warming we understand the warming of the earth's global temperature. That warming has in turn an effect on the earth's global climate and on more localized climates (like the climate of England or Western US).
Is there any ways that the world can stop global warming?
No there is not. Climate change/global warming or cooling is a natural phenomena. We may be able to reduce the rate of change by sensible use of energy.
What Global climate is determined by?
Global climate is determined by the transfer of solar energy at and near the Earth's surface.
What is climate change and what kinds of energy are blamed for causing it?
climate change is a huge subject. one of the branches are global warming which is the rise in the temperature of the earth. the humans are what need to be blamed for it we are causing it
