Gasoline is a fossil fuel, so burning it releases carbon dioxide from millions of years go. This extra CO2 is too much for the carbon cycle to deal with, so the normal greenhouse effect becomes an accelerated greenhouse effect which is causing global warming.

Burning which fossil fuel - coal oil and natural gas - contributes least to global warming?

Burning natural gas contributes least to global warming compared to coal and oil. Natural gas produces fewer greenhouse gas emissions, such as carbon dioxide and methane, per unit of energy generated.


Are ammonia factories the cause of global warming?

Ammonia factories can be a contributing factor to global warming due to the production of greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide and nitrous oxide during the manufacturing process. However, they are not the sole cause of global warming, as there are multiple sources of greenhouse gas emissions worldwide.


What is the cause of the warming of the atmosphere?

The primary cause of the warming of the atmosphere is the increase in greenhouse gases, such as carbon dioxide, methane, and nitrous oxide, which trap heat in the Earth's atmosphere. Human activities, such as the burning of fossil fuels and deforestation, contribute significantly to the rise in greenhouse gas concentrations, leading to global warming.


Does a hurricane cause global warming?

No, Hurricane Katrina caused flooding and terrible damage to humans and property, but it did not cause global warming. Global warming is caused among other things by man burning fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) and putting greenhouse gases into the atmosphere.


Do Mexicans cause global warming?

Many different factors contribute to the damage that is done to the atmosphere and every industrialized country contributes somewhat. Mexico is known more for it's air pollution then for cause global warming.

How does the telephone cause global warming?

The telephone doesn't cause global warming. The use of any electrical appliance contributes to global warming, because most electricity comes from the burning of fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) which releases carbon dioxide, a greenhouse gas.


Which gas released from the burning of fossil fuels is the gas that contributes to global warming?

Carbon dioxide (CO2) is the gas released from burnt fossil fuels. It is the most significant gas contributing to global warming.


Does increased industrialization cause global warming?

Yes, industry runs on fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas), or on electricity generated by the burning of them. Any burning of fossil fuels releases carbon dioxide (CO2), the greenhouse gas responsible for global warming.

Burning natural gas contributes least to global warming compared to coal and oil. Natural gas produces fewer greenhouse gas emissions, such as carbon dioxide and methane, per unit of energy generated.


What theory has humans as the main cause of global warming?

Anthropogenic Global Warming - that humans are causing global warming by the burning of fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) in industry, transport and the generation of electricity, which releases carbon dioxide, a greenhouse gas that has been hidden underground for millions of years.

Did the accident at chernobyl cause global warming?

No, the Chernobyl nuclear accident did not cause global warming. It probably had no effect on it at all. Global warming is caused by the excessive burning of fossil fuels which releases additional carbon dioxide, a greenhouse gas, into the atmosphere. Deforestation has also removed forests that used to remove this carbon from the environment.

Do you not believe in global warming?

I do. Global warming exists. The main cause of global warming is the increase in greenhouse gases from burning of fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) in industry, transport and the generation of electricity, which releases carbon dioxide (CO2). That increase is reversible. The second leading cause is the increase in deforestation. That is also reversible.


What atmospheric gas is thought to cause global climate warming?

Carbon dioxide is the primary atmospheric gas thought to cause global climate warming. It is released mainly through human activities such as burning fossil fuels and deforestation, leading to an increase in the greenhouse effect and trapping heat in the earth's atmosphere.
