The BP oil spill has very little to do with Global Warming or how fast the arctic ice floes melt. Its main effect is pollution.

Which environmental changes occur faster global warming or oil spills?
Oil Spills . Global Warming Would Take Longer Than a Oil Spill
Which ways of producing electricity contributes to global warming?
Any electricity generated by burning fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) contributes to global warming. Renewable energy does not contribute to global warming (except in a small way during equipment manufacture).Any electricity generated by burning fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) contributes to global warming. Renewable energy does not contribute to global warming (except in a small way during equipment manufacture).
How does nitrogen contribute to global warming?
It does not. Nitrogen is not one of the greenhouse gases.Nitrous oxide, released by burning fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) is a greenhouse gas, and this is contributing to global warming.
How do electric appliances contribute to global warming?
Most electricity is generated by burning fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas). This releases carbon dioxide, a greenhouse gas which is causing global warming. So the use of any electrical appliance contributes to global warming.
How can the Pongamia tree help slow global warming?
Oil made from the seeds of this tree, known as pongamia oil, can be used to produce bio-diesel. Bio-diesel is a renewable source of energy, a diesel oil made from vegetation, so its burning does not contribute to global warming.

What are the current issues of environment are going on?
Global Warming, The Oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico, Pollution, and the the human race.

Does oil affect the ozone layer?
It does not directly affect it, but it over use of oil does contribute to global warming, and global warming combined with other harming effects on Earth are depleting the ozone layer, so in a way, yes! --Ashlyn <3
Could the climate change with the oil spill?
Natural gas is being released as a result of the oil spill. It is considered a greenhouse gas. I have not seen any studies to show that this additional gas could change the model predicted global warming. The global warming phenomena is a long term trend, and I don't believe the approximately three months of gas releases will have an impact.

Does an increased use of solar powered cars contribute to global warming?
No, this would have the opposite effect. It would reduce the rate of global warming. Most vehicles run on oil, the burning of which releases greenhouse gases and causes global warming. Solar powered cars have no harmful emissions.
How does using a stove contribute to global warming?
If the stove is powered by:Electricity, most electricity is generated now by burning fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas), which add carbon dioxide to the atmosphere.Gas, this is some kind of fossil fuel.Wood, this may not contribute to global warming if the wood is sustainably grown.Solar (or any renewable energy) then it makes no contribution to global warming.
Why might wind energy be good for New Zealand?
Because its free, renewable and doesn't contribute to global warming in any way (unlike fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas)).
How do oil and gas have any effect on Antarctica?
Because the production of oil and gas contribute to global warming, the ice in Antarctica is melting at a faster than natural rate.
