A:

People, that is already a long list that [sadly] is getting longer every day.

A:

Lots of research shows that man-made (anthropogenic) carbon dioxide (CO2) is directly responsible for Global Warming:

  • rise in carbon dioxide levels since the start of the Industrial Revolution (when humans first started to burn fossil fuels on a large scale). Today's levels are much higher than they ever have been in the past 650,000 years;
  • there is an unequivocal relation between man-made carbon dioxide emissions and the measurements of atmospheric carbon dioxide;
  • the proven fact that increased atmospheric carbon dioxide increases global temperature. Observations clearly show the earth is warming;
  • isotope analyses of atmospheric carbon dioxide allows to trace its man-made origins.
  • exhaustive research rule out other greenhouse gasses and/or natural carbon dioxide sources which might cause the current temperature increases/atmospheric carbon dioxide levels.

See links below for addtional information/graphs.
I think its because carbon dioxide stores heat and the atmosphere holds the co2 on earth.

What gas contributed in part by burning fossil fuels is used by scientists as an indicator of future global warming?

A:Carbon dioxide is produced by burning fossil fuels. Since it is a greenhouse gas, the present continued increase in atmospheric levels is considered by scientists to be a predictor of global warming.


What are the disadvantages of electritcity?

If the electricity is produced with methods that emit carbon dioxide as a result of burning fossil fuel then the contribution to global warming (aka climate change) is very disadvantageous.


How are extra greenhouse gases produced?

The burning of fossil fuels releases carbon dioxide that has been hidden for 300 million years. This is the extragreenhouse gas that is causing global warming.


What is the effect on the atmosphere of burning fossil fuels such as coal and oil?

Carbon dioxide is produced at an unsustainable rate. This builds up in the greenhouse gases in the atmosphere and is causing global warming.
