No, it won't cause global warming, but it adds to it in a small way.

Ethane (C2H6) is a gas derived from fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas), like methane. When burnt it also releases carbon dioxide (CO2), a powerful greenhouse gas. Ethane itself is also a greenhouse gas, though not as potent as methane. There are low levels of ethane in the atmosphere, as the sun's photochemical action turns some methane into ethane.
