The air conditioner itself does not release any carbon or carbon dioxide. But if the energy to power the air conditioner comes from a coal fired power plant, it takes more energy to reduce the temperature of a room than it does to heat it.

What process releases carbon into the atmosphere from fossil fuels?
Combustion. Fossil fuels contain carbon, hydrogen, Nitrogen, Oxygen and some other elements. But the largest is Carbon. So when such fuels burn they combine with the Oxygen and Nitrogen in air to form Carbon dioxide, Nitrogen oxides etc. Any form of carbon when burns produces carbon dioxide.
Is decaying vegetation a carbon sink?
Decaying vegetation is actually the opposite of a carbon sink. A carbon sink is something that takes carbon out its natural cycle and stores in for an extended period of time. Vegetation, particularly trees, absorb carbon, and thus they act as stores. However, decaying vegetation releases the carbon back into the air as it decays. Therefore, it is not a sink.
What are 3 human activities that cause air pollution?
smoking,driving,firesProbably the main one is burning of fossil fuels in industry, transport and to generate electricity. This releases additional carbon dioxide which is seriously damaging our planet by causing global warming. The US EPA has classified carbon dioxide as a pollutant.As well as carbon dioxide, fossil fuel burning releases many other pollutants, such as carbon monoxide, nitrogen oxides, sulfur oxides, and hydrocarbons.
How does gasoline cause air pollution?
Burning fossil fuel like gasoline releases carbon dioxide which some argue is polluting the atmosphere.A lack of ventilation indoors concentrates air pollution where people often spend the majority of their time.
What is the largest source of human caused air pollution in the US?

Can you get carbon monoxide poisoning from your window air conditioner?
