Most electricity is generated by burning fossil fuels like coal, oil and natural gas. These are all non-renewable sources of energy. This burning releases carbon dioxide into the greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. This is contributing to global warming.
Electricity made from hydro-electric dams, wind generators, solar power, geothermal power, or nuclear power plants would release hardly any CO2. This is renewable energy.
Conservation of energy by any means, such as turning down your thermostat a few degrees, changing light bulbs to compact fluorescent, etc can be helpful to both your electric bill and the environment.
People think there is little effect by one person trying to save, but actually when many of us do these little things, whole power plants worth of energy can be conserved.
Very simply, it depends on how the electricity was first generated. Coal-burning electric plants which are the major source of power in many countries round the world, make the CO2 that contributes to global warming by burning fuel. Electricity which is made from hydro-electric dams, wind generators, or nuclear power plants would make hardly any CO2. Conservation of energy by any means, such as turning your thermostat a few degrees, changing light bulbs to compact fluorescent, can be helpful to both your electric bill and the environment. People think there is little effect by one person trying to save, but actually when many of us do these little things, whole power plants worth of energy can be conserved. Google "energy conservation" for many more tips on ways to save.
Power stations do contribute to global warming, as the more electricity we use the more global warming will develop to the earth. And gradual the earth will be destroyed because of us humans.
Refrigerators usually give out heat, and are usually run on fossil fuel electricity, so, yes, they contribute to global warming. However, they only play a small part in causing global warming. The main causes of global warming are the greenhouse gases released when we burn fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) in transport, industry, and the generation of electricity. That and deforestation.
Yes. The burning of fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) in industry, transport and the generation of electricity releases Carbon Dioxide (CO2), a greenhouse gas which is causing global warming.
Most electricity is produced by burning fossil fuels, which releases carbon dioxide which 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).
Yes it does contribute to global warming beacause of the coldness in it
Less use of petroleum and electricity can contribute to reducing global warming by reducing greenhouse gas emissions. Petroleum is a major source of carbon dioxide emissions, and using alternative forms of energy can help reduce reliance on it. Similarly, electricity generation from fossil fuels also emits greenhouse gases, and transitioning to renewable energy sources can help mitigate global warming.
Mexico does contribute to global warming. It does release greenhouse gases.
Yes, they use more electricity than the newer compact lighting.
The organism contributing most to global warming is, unfortunately, man. When we burn fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) in industry, transport and the generation of electricity we are seriously adding to global warming.
No, global warming is the recent rapid warming of the earth, caused by the human activities of deforestation and the burning of fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) in industry, transport and the generation of electricity. This releases carbon dioxide (CO2), a greenhouse gas, which is building up in the atmosphere. It is not a source of electricity.
