Any use of electricity to run powerful machinery like air conditioners adds to the greenhouse gases in the atmosphere because most electricity is generated by burning fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas). This releases carbon dioxide (CO2), a greenhouse gas, which is causing the enhanced greenhouse effect that is producing global warming. This warming is causing climate change.

How does the greenhouse effect affect the air temperature?

The greenhouse effect keeps the air and earth warm enough for life.The sun's energy warms the earth.Infrared heat rises from the surface of the earth into the atmosphere where it is trapped by greenhouse gases causing the greenhouse effect.The warm greenhouse gases in turn warm the surrounding atmosphere, and some of this heat goes back down to earth, where it adds more warmth to the earth's surface.


Why does temperature rise?

The enhanced greenhouse effect is making air temperatures rise.
