CO2, carbon dioxide, is one of the greenhouse gases. Greenhouse gases trap heat rising from the earth's surface and stop it escaping into space. This is called the greenhouse effect. This is the connection with global warming. We have added a lot of extra carbon dioxide to the atmosphere by burning fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas), and this build up is causing global warming.

What is global warming in the movie the inconvienient truth?
Global warming is mainly caused by CO2
Is CO2 destroying the ozone?

Does the scientific consensus support the claim that CO2 doesn't cause global warming?
No, the scientific consensus overwhelmingly supports the claim that CO2 does cause global warming.
How does the destruction of the Amazon affect global warming?
trees convert CO2 to O2. CO2 is the cause of the warming The less trees there are to convert CO2, the more CO2 there will be
How are deforestation global warming and carbon dioxide connected?
Deforestation = less trees less trees = more CO2 and according to some people- more CO2 = Global warming
Which gas is used as reference to calculate global warming potential?
Carbon Dioxide (CO2) is given a Global Warming Potential measure of 1.There are many green house gases that cause global warming but the gas used as reference to calculate global warming potential is carbon dioxide (Co2)
What are the effects of green houses on global warming?
They are a benefit in that they sequester CO2.
Why is co2 important to science?
Carbon dioxide contributes to global warming.
The gas predominantly responsible for global warming?
... Is carbon dioxide (CO2).
Which gas is the primary reason for global warming?
Carbon dioxide, CO2.
Can carbon dioxide help to stop global warming?
No, carbon dioxide (CO2) can not help to stop global warming. CO2 emissions are the main reason why global warming is happening, released by the burning of fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) in industry, transport and the generation of electricity.
