The amount of CO2 released by the oxidation of tobacco leaves, worldwide, is not significant, nor a significant contributor to global warming overall. If we included the fossil fuel energy consumed in the planting, harvesting, and curing of tobacco crops and the CO2 from producing cigarette paper and the oxidation of that paper as the cigarettes are smoked, we still don't get a significant contributing factor to overall global warming.

Smoking cigarettes and marijuana? None at all. They do release carbon dioxide, like any burning, but this carbon dioxide was recently removed from the atmosphere when the plants were grown. This makes them part of the carbon cycle and carbon neutral!

Why is global warming relevant to us?

The gasses we let out are helping global warming becoming worse and worse. The gasses that our cars produce, smoke from grills, hair-spray, etc, it's all worsening the climate. We are helping in destroying the earth's atmosphere, that's why global warming is relevant to us. We're all going to die from the sun's strong rays if this gets any worse.


Can someone help with an allegory for global warming or pollution with the main characters Im really lost?

You could have a character named Polution or something that could represent global warming and he would have powers to do things to the world that are actually happening because of global warming, and you could have someone named Bad which is in Land and he could be a main producer of the smoke by working at a power plant or something, but besides that i dunno what else. Hope that helps.

How do bombs effect global warming?

Bombs have a minimal effect on global warming. The amount of smoke caused and carbon dioxide released is nothing compared to a single car. The amount of effect is increased by the environmental damage a bomb does. Bombs have been blamed for global cooling though. WW1 and WW2 both has cooling during those periods.
