How does computers cause air pollution?
Indirectly. The majority of the power we use comes from fossil energy, so computers are partly powered by the burning of fossil fuels, which contributes to air pollution. The energy that went into producing the computers also came to some extent from the burning of fossil fuels, so again a contribution. Then the computers had to transported from where they were produced and eventually to the homes of the users. Most of that transport was most likely powered by fossil fuels as well.

What human behaviours cause global warming?
The major human behavior causing global warming is the burning of fossil fuels - oil, coal and natural gas. When these items are burned, large amounts of carbon dioxide are released into the atmosphere, which then traps heat from the sun and causes global warming. Specific uses for burning fossil fuels includes generating electricity, gasoline in cars and heat for homes and businesses.
How do organisms use fossil fuels?
1. Organisms don't use fossil fuels; they make them. After they decompose, they eventually turn into fossil fuels. (oil) (if this wasn't the answer, then here is another answer.) 2. If organism meant humans, then we use fossil fuels for lots of things. For example: Plastic Gas Oil to heat homes (et cetera) I hope this helps!! :)
