How will switching to electric and not gas appliances not help stop global warming?

Because most electricity is generated by burning fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas). This releases the greenhouse gas carbon dioxide (CO2) which is contributing to global warming. Gas appliances also release CO2, but not as much as coal or oil, so gas is a slightly better way to go.

Is anything done to help the situation in global warming?
Cutting back on the use of electric appliances will help slow down air pollution, which will slow down global warming. SAVE THE EARTH!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (hey, that's what my shirt says right now! go figure!)
Will switching to electric cars stop global warming?
No, the only way to stop global warming is if the big corporations release less carbon emissions. Electric cars run on electricity, most of which is generated by burning fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas). Fossil fuels are the main cause of global warming. City air is cleaner if we use electric cars, but the carbon dioxide emissions are rising from the power stations. When our electricity is generated from renewable sources (solar, wind, water, biofuels etc) or from nuclear energy, then the rate of global warming will slow and eventually stop.

Is global warming a pollution?
