The burning of fossil fuels releases age-old carbon which has been buried underground for millions of years. So this carbon is not part of the carbon cycle where carbon is constantly moving in and out of the atmosphere. This is extra carbon that is overloading the carbon cycle and so is building up in the atmosphere. A build up of greenhouse gases causes increased warming and this is causing global warming.

How are human responsible for global warming?

Unfortunately, there is no way to prove that humans are not responsible for global warming. We are the only ones who dug up and burnt fossil fuels. We are the ones who cut down the earth's forests.


Does increased industrialization cause global warming?

Yes, industry runs on fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas), or on electricity generated by the burning of them. Any burning of fossil fuels releases carbon dioxide (CO2), the greenhouse gas responsible for global warming.


Which gas released from the burning of fossil fuels is the gas that contributes to global warming?

Carbon dioxide (CO2) is the gas released from burnt fossil fuels. It is the most significant gas contributing to global warming.


What is the relationship between the use of fossil fuels and global warming?

The burning of fossil fuels releases greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. These gases trap heat and contribute to the warming of the Earth's climate, leading to global warming and climate change. Reducing the use of fossil fuels is critical in mitigating the impacts of global warming.


What are the cons about fossil fuels?

You loose non renewable resources. And no, Fossil fuels do not contribute to global warming(Biggest lie ever) Research about it, Because its a fact that Global Warming doesnt exist.


What is one human contribution to global warming?

Burning fossil fuels.


What is connection between fossil fuels and global warming?

i have no answer for that difficult queston


Does the decrease of fossil fuels decrease global warming?

Yes, decreasing the use of fossil fuels can help reduce global warming. Fossil fuels release greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide when burned, which trap heat in the Earth's atmosphere and contribute to climate change. Transitioning to cleaner sources of energy, such as renewable energy, can help mitigate the impacts of global warming.


What is man's role in global warming?

Humans are responsible for serious deforestation as well as the burning of fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas). Climate scientists agree that this is what is causing global warming and climate change.


How does wind energy help you save fossil fuels?

Global warming is a myth.


What fossil fuels cause pollution?

All three of them do.CoalOilGasFossil fuels are the cause of global warming and pollution.


What impact is burning fossil fuels having on the global climate?

Burning fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) emit polluting greenhouse gases which are incredible harmful to the planet, causing global warming. Global warming is causing climate change.
