It raises the temperature and makes it hotter through the greenhouse effect.
Hydroelectricity is better because it releases no carbon dioxide emissions to cause global warming. Natural gas is the cleanest of the fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas), but it is still responsible for carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions.
Coal has more carbon dioxide emissions than either oil or natural gas.
Yes, global warming is caused by carbon dioxide emissions from vehicles, but also by deforestation and the burning of fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) in industry, and the generation of electricity, which all releases carbon dioxide.
Global warming is mainly caused by carbon dioxide emissions from burning fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas).
According to U.S. EPA, Inventory of U.S. Greenhouse Gas Emissions and Sinks: 1990-2004, 1 therm of natural gas burnt produces 11.7 lbs. of carbon dioxide emissions. Therefore, the Carbon Coefficient for natural gas is: 117 pounds of CO2 per million BTU, or 0.12 pounds per cubic foot of gas.
Natural gas is a fossil fuel. When it is burnt it releases carbon dioxide emissions that are building up in the atmosphere and causing global warming. This is bad for our environment in many ways.
Coal is the largest contributor to the human-made increase of CO2 in the air. In terms of carbon dioxide emissions, coal is slightly ahead of petroleum and about double that of natural gas.

One natural process that adds carbon dioxide to the air is the process of respiration by plants, animals, and microorganisms. During respiration, these organisms release carbon dioxide as a byproduct. Additionally, volcanic eruptions also contribute to the release of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere.
