If you release carbon dioxide from burning nonrenewable resources what can happen?
Since the industrial revolution we have gradually been burning more and more non-renewable fossil fuel resources (coal, oil and natural gas) and so adding more and more carbon dioxide to the greenhouse gases already there. Cattle (for beef and milk) also belch out methane, which is a twenty times more dangerous greenhouse gas, and every day more and more forest land is being cleared for cattle. These extra greenhouse gases are causing global warming.
If the earth warms by only a degree or two many crop lands will turn to desert and many countries will become uninhabitable, with no means of growing crops or providing water to the inhabitants. There will be millions of global warming refugees, desperately looking for other countries to move to.
What else can I help you with?
Do humans release carbon-dioxide and how?
By breathing, burning fossil fuels, ...
Do cars release carbon dioxide into the atmosphere?
Yes, cars release carbon dioxide into the atmosphere as a byproduct of burning gasoline or diesel fuel.
Why is burning similar to respiration?
Both consume oxygen and release carbon dioxide.
What is made when hydrocarbons are burnt?
Burning of hydrocarbons release water and carbon dioxide.
What does nonrenewable energy have to do with global warming?
Non-renewable energy mostly comes from burning fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas). When anything is burnt it emits carbon dioxide, but when fossil fuels are burnt they release carbon dioxide that has been hidden away for many millions of years. Carbon dioxide is a greenhouse gas that traps heat in the atmosphere causing global warming.
How does burning fossil fuels affect the atmosphere?
because it will release carbon dioxide in to the air
What is the chemical emitted by fuels?
Fossil fuels release by burning carbon dioxide and water.
What does burning fossil fuels release and plants use it in photosynthesis?
The answer is carbon dioxide (CO2).
What will happen to burning wood?
Burning produce water vapors, carbon dioxide and ash.
Which fuel release only carbon dioxide on burning?
Burning natural gas, which is largely methane, releases carbon dioxide with fewer by-products than either oil or coal.
How does burning trees effects carbon dioxide?
Burning trees not only creates more carbon dioxide because of the smoke released from the burning, but also because trees help remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. They take in CO2 and release oxygen. The less trees there are, the more CO2 in our atmosphere.
What is the primary source of sulfur dioxide?
Volcanoes produce more sulfur dioxide than any other cause. Some sulfur dioxide is also release from the burning of sulfur-rich fossil fuels.
