Carbon dioxide. Since the Industrial Revolution, humans have been removing carbon from deep in the ground and combusting it - which provides energy we rely on but also introduces carbon dioxide gas (CO2) into the atmosphere that was never there before.
The more coal and petroleum we remove from the deep earth and burn, the more CO2 is added to the atmosphere causing global warming.

What could increase average global temperatures?
Global warming. Possibly pollution such as gas in a car.
Which gas released from the burning of fossil fuels is the gas that contributes to global warming?
The gas released from the burning of fossil fuels that contributes to global warming is carbon dioxide (CO2).
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)
Does logging effect the global warming?
Yes, trees and plants take in carbon dioxide (CO2, which is a huge greenhouse gas), store the carbon in their roots, trunks and branches and release the oxygen. If the trees are no longer present, then the CO2 will remain in the atmosphere, where it adds to the accelerated greenhouse effect. This is causing global warming.
The naturally occurring atmospheric gas that is blamed for causing global warming is?
Carbon dioxide has been charged and convicted of causing global warming.
What could increase average global temperatures?
Global warming. Possibly pollution such as gas in a car.
Which gas released from the burning of fossil fuels is the gas that contributes to global warming?
The gas released from the burning of fossil fuels that contributes to global warming is carbon dioxide (CO2).
Will greenhouse gas effect global warming?
yes, increases in greenhouse gasses are the dominant cause of 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)
Are trains a cause of global warming?
Yes. Most vehicles contribute to global warming if they run on fossil fuels (coal, oil, diesel, petroleum, natural gas), or if they run on electricity that is generated by burning fossil fuels. Burning fossil fuels releases carbon dioxide, which adds to the build up of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, causing global warming.
Burning which fossil fuel - coal oil and natural gas - contributes least to global warming?
Burning natural gas contributes least to Global Warming.
What type of gas does global warming provide?
Global warming doesn't produce any gas. It is caused by greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide and methane.
What causes the arctic global warming?
All (current) global warming is the result of an increased abundance of heat trapping gas. As the arctic regions warm, methane gas trapped in permafrost soil is being released, accelerating the global warming effect.
How can you damage the globle warming?
you can damage global warming by not doing polution,using gas, and stop smoking. thats the only way to stop global warming.
What are the global problems of clearing forests and increased gas emissions from factories and motor vehicles?
The main global problems of clearing forests and increased gas emissions are global warming and acid rain. The clearing of forests means additional carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, causing global warming. Increased gas emissions also contribute to global warming and acid rain.
What has global warming?
We have, the world has. Thanks to fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) which have transformed the world through the Industrial Revolution. Unfortunately they have a serious side-effect which we didn't notice till recently. Burning them adds old carbon dioxide (CO2) to the atmosphere and causes global warming.
Does logging effect the global warming?
Yes, trees and plants take in carbon dioxide (CO2, which is a huge greenhouse gas), store the carbon in their roots, trunks and branches and release the oxygen. If the trees are no longer present, then the CO2 will remain in the atmosphere, where it adds to the accelerated greenhouse effect. This is causing global warming.
