How does electric contribute to global warming?
Most electricity is produced by burning fossil fuels, which releases carbon dioxide which contributes to global warming
Which ways of producing electricity contributes to global warming?
Any electricity generated by burning fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) contributes to global warming. Renewable energy does not contribute to global warming (except in a small way during equipment manufacture).Any electricity generated by burning fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) contributes to global warming. Renewable energy does not contribute to global warming (except in a small way during equipment manufacture).
Which products of burning fossil fuels contribute to global warming?
Burning fossil fuels emits carbon dioxide, a powerful greenhouse gas. This is contributing to global warming.
Do electronics cause global warming?
Any use of electronics uses electricity, most of which is presently generated by burning fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas). So this contributes to global warming, but does not cause it. Global warming is caused by deforestation, and by our burning of fossil fuels in industry, transport and the generation of electricity, which releases carbon dioxide, a greenhouse gas.
How does the telephone add to global warming?
Anything powered by electricity usually relies on the burning of fossil fuel to generate that power. Burning fossil fuel is the primary cause of global warming.
What substance released into the air by the burning of fossil fuel contributes most to global warming?
Carbon dioxide
Burning which fossil fuel - coal oil and natural gas - contributes least to global warming?
Burning natural gas contributes least to Global Warming.
How does electric contribute to global warming?

Which is an effect of burning fossil fuels?
Pollution is released into the atmosphere. ..
What is in the smoke that contributes to global warming?
The main ingredient in smoke (from burning fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas)) is carbon dioxide.
What is released from burning of fossil fuel?
Carbon dioxide, a greenhouse gas that is causing global warming and climate change.
What role does the burining of fossil fuels play?
buring fossil fuels contributes to gloadl warming, and acidic lakes due to acid rain, from the burning in oxygen. it also uses resources
Which products of burning fossil fuels contribute to global warming?
Burning fossil fuels emits carbon dioxide, a powerful greenhouse gas. This is contributing to global warming.
Why are scientists concerned about carbon dioxide released from burning fossil fuels like petrol?
Because it causes global warming
