Did the discovery of petroleum contribute to the increase in global warming?
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.
When was The Discovery of Global Warming created?
The Discovery of Global Warming was created in 2003.
What is the ISBN of The Discovery of Global Warming?
The ISBN of The Discovery of Global Warming is 067403189X.
How many pages does The Discovery of Global Warming have?
The Discovery of Global Warming has 240 pages.
How have people contributed to an increase in earths temperature?
Global Warming. The polar bears and penguins and all the other animals who live on ice house or home is being ruined all because of global warming.
How has petroleum become a major cause for global warming?
It is the combustion of petroleum which causes global warming. This is bcause petroleum is mostly made up of hydrocarbons. The combustion is given by the chemical equation: 2 C8H18 + 25 O2 -> 16 CO2 + 18 H2O. It is rather obvious now that carbon dioxide is one of the main greenhouse gases which contributes to global warming.Therefore, petroleum does not directly cause global warming. Industrial activites and motor engines which require combustion of petroleum for energy release carbon dioxide into the atmosphere, thus causing global warming. Hence we can establish that petroleum is an indirect cause.Read more: Does_petroleum_cause_global_warming
What gas contributed in part by burning fossil fuels is used by scientists as an indicator of future global warming?
A:Carbon dioxide is produced by burning fossil fuels. Since it is a greenhouse gas, the present continued increase in atmospheric levels is considered by scientists to be a predictor of global warming.
What percentage of the global warming is caused by India?
There is really no definitive way to tell which country has contributed what percentage towards global warming.
