CO2 is one of the greenhouse gases which contributes to global warming. Scientists consider that these gases go into the upper atmosphere, and trap the reflected sun light rays. This is a bit simplistic explanation, but I've included a link which describes global warming in more detail. I think this link, although a bit long, gives good background information and the current understanding of greenhouse gases and global warming.

How does fire cause Global Warming?
Most fires release carbon dioxide into the atmosphere, and carbon dioxide is a greenhouse gas, which tends to make the world warmer because it retains the heat of sunlight.

Does carbon dioxide or carbon monoxide have a benefit?
For the applications of carbon monoxide see the link below. Carbon Dioxide is taken in by green plants and used to make Oxygen that we breathe. Carbon Dioxide is used to make 'Carbonated' beverages. Carbon Dioxide is used in many industrial applications, such as welding. Carbon Dioxide is used to make Dry Ice. Carbon Dioxide is used in Fire Extinguishers.
How does a poplar tree make its food?
Photosynthesis. The leaves of the tree gather carbon dioxide and sunlight and through the process of photosynthesis turn the sunlight and carbon dioxide into glucose(sugar), oxygen and excess heat.
What gas is need by plants to make food?
