Nuclear power does not emit carbon dioxide greenhouse gas as the other non-renewable sources of energy (the fossil fuels of coal, oil and natural gas) do, so it doesn't contribute to global warming. Many people think nuclear power is an energy source that we should all be using because of this. Others remember the dangers from nuclear accidents and are not so convinced.

How do humans contribute to climate change not including global warming?
Humans are contributing to global warming (by burning fossil fuel and cutting down forests) and global warming is CAUSING climate change.
What if nuclear fuel was used instead of fossil fuel?
There would be no carbon emissions. Nuclear power does not contribute to global warming.
Is the gas produced by aeroplanes bad for the environment?
Airplanes burn fossil fuel, and produce carbon dioxide, thus contributing to the problem of global warming.
How do cars affect the temperature?
Global warming/ the fuel
How does burning and the loss if trees can lead to global warming?
Whenever a fossil fuel like wood, coal, oil or natural gas is burnt it releases carbon dioxide that has been stored in the fuel for millions of years. This carbon dioxide adds to the greenhouse gases in the environment that are contributing to global warming.
What are the risks of using coal as a fuel?
It will cause global warming
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.
Are hybrid cars causing global warming?
No, hybrid cars were designed to use less fossil fuel, thus slowing global warming.
What type of greenhouse gases comes from transport?
Transport mostly runs on oil, which is a fossil fuel. Burning fossil fuels releases carbon dioxide, a powerful greenhouse gas which is contributing to global warming.
Do nuclear gases affect global warming?
Nuclear reactions do not produce gases, except for some of the fission products which are gaseous, like xenon, but these are contained securely within the fuel rods and would only be released in the event of a fuel melt down. So nuclear power does not produce greenhouse gases.
What are some undesirable side effects of global industrial fossil fuel burning?
Global warming.
How are humans contributig to global climate change?
Humans are contributing to the global warming problem by burning fuel for industries, vehicles and basically all forms of modern technology, which increases the levels of CO2 in the air which in turn trap more heat in the Earth's atmosphere.
