How is the Greenhouse effect linked to the burning of fossil fuels?

Burning fossil fuels releases long-hidden carbon dioxide into the other greenhouse gases overloading the greenhouse effect.


What is the dangers of oil as a fossil fuel?

Oil is a carbon-rich substance, and by burning it, we release a lot of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. Carbon Dioxide is a greenhouse gas, so this can increase the Greenhouse Effect, which is linked to global warming.


How does the atmosphere link to global warming?

Global warming is linked to the atmosphere on multiple fronts:Solar Radiation: The sun warms the greenhouse gases in the atmosphere.Atmospheric Composition: The composition of the atmosphere determines the severity of the greenhouse effect. Since the Industrial Revolution we have been releasing more and more carbon dioxide by burning fossil fuel (300 million-year-old carbon). This extra carbon is causing the accelerated greenhouse effect.

What other gases might increase the greenhouse effect?

There are 5 major greenhouse gasses: water vapour, carbon dioxide (also known as CO2), methane, nitrous oxide and ozone. Water vapour is the strongest greenhouse gas but it happens largely naturally (ie ocean water evaporates when the sun shines on it). The other four are largely anthropogenic (man-made) greenhouse gasses. See chart linked below for detailed information on greenhouse gasses (GHG's) and their contribution to the greenhouse effect.


How is ozone layer linked or related to pollution?

The ozone is depleted due to greenhouse gases. Pollution causes these greenhouse gases.


How is oil linked to climate change?

The fumes created destroy the Ozone layer and produce greenhouse gasses.
