After combustion carbon dioxide rises and mixes with the air in the troposphere. Because it is a 3-atom gas, it is a greenhouse gas and so it absorbs infrared heat rising from the surface of the earth. This extra heat retained is causing an enhanced (or accelerated) greenhouse effect which is giving us global warming.
