Can leaving lights on when they are not in use be a cause of global warming?

Yes. Leaving lights turned on when not in use does contribute to greenhouse gas emissions and therefore to global warming. A good rule of thumb is that household appliances consume electricity and therefore contribute to global warming in proportion to the amount of heat they produce. Incandescent light globes work by heating a wire filament until it glows white hot, so they are obviously very heavy users of electricity. However, there are other things we can do other than just turning off lights all the time. Replacing these by modern high-efficiency, low energy lights uses a fraction of the electricity and therefore contributes only a fraction of the carbon emissions that lead to global warming. With high-efficiency, low energy lights we need be less concerned about leaving lights on for a few minutes, and get on with enjoying life.
