What else can I help you with?
Does petrol worsen pollution?
Yes, the burning of petrol releases carbon dioxide, which is a serious pollutant in the atmosphere causing global warming. Petrol is refined from oil, one of the fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas).
Which of the gases produced by your car contributes to global warming?
Burning petrol or gasoline releases carbon dioxide, a powerful greenhouse gas.
Why is it important to know global warming?
It is important to know about and understand global warming so that we can understand the important decisions political leaders are making to abate global warming. Unless we really understand what is happening and the risks involved in allowing global warming to continue, we risk being misled by those with vested interests, who would have us believe either that global warming is not real or that it is real but there is nothing we can do. If we know about global warming, we also understand what we can do to help. We will understand that everything we do to reduce our electricity consumption will help, and we will understand that reducing our petrol or gasoline consumption is another way to help.
What harmful gases come from using fuel ie petrol?
With respect to Global Warming, Carbon Dioxide (abbreviated as CO2) comes from burning fossil fuels such as petrol, coal and natural gas.
Is petrol neutral?
Petrol is not neutral as it is a fossil fuel that releases carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases when burned. This contributes to global warming and climate change.
How did it affect people and the environment?
What do you mean by it? humans are affecting the environment by using petrol too much and factory's with smoke are polluting the air. this is causing global warming
What are the disadvantages of using petrol in a car engine?
The cost and dependence on middle east countries for oil.The carbon dioxide released as pollution which is causing global warming.
Why should peat bogs be protected?
peat bogs should be protected because many habitats will be destroyed, global warming will increase and the petrol from the machinery will pollute the atmosphere
What are the effects to animals and the environment with the 4 main harmful constituents of petrol engine exhaust emissions?
Carbon Dioxide, Global Warming, Acid Rain, Particular Matter.
What are timber industries doing to make sure we don't cut down too many trees?
causeing global warming were tree cutters are using petrol chainsaws
How is gasoline related to global warming?
Gasoline, or petrol, is a fossil fuel. When it is burned it releases carbon dioxide (CO2). This CO2 is not part of the normal carbon cycle which moves carbon in and out of the atmosphere. This is CO2 that has been hidden away underground for millions of years. Releasing this is adding more gases to the greenhouse effect, which is why the earth is warming all over. This is global warming.
How does transportation effect global warming?
Transportation contributes to global warming by emitting greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide, which trap heat in the Earth's atmosphere. The burning of fossil fuels in vehicles releases these gases into the air, leading to the warming of the planet. Increasing use of public transport, electric vehicles, and promoting carpooling are ways to reduce the impact of transportation on global warming.
