It is believed that excessive CO2 emissions will cause?
CO2 is carbon dioxide, and excessive CO2 is believed to cause Global Warming.
When you turn off a light how does it help global warming?
When you turn off a light you are helping slow global warming by using less electricity. Most electricity is generated by burning fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas). This burning releases carbon dioxide, which is causing global warming.
What is a warming of the planet due to carbon dioxide and heat retention?
Global warming.
How does using a stove contribute to global warming?
If the stove is powered by:Electricity, most electricity is generated now by burning fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas), which add carbon dioxide to the atmosphere.Gas, this is some kind of fossil fuel.Wood, this may not contribute to global warming if the wood is sustainably grown.Solar (or any renewable energy) then it makes no contribution to global warming.
Are trains a cause of global warming?
Yes. Most vehicles contribute to global warming if they run on fossil fuels (coal, oil, diesel, petroleum, natural gas), or if they run on electricity that is generated by burning fossil fuels. Burning fossil fuels releases carbon dioxide, which adds to the build up of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, causing global warming.
It is believed that excessive CO2 emissions will cause?
CO2 is carbon dioxide, and excessive CO2 is believed to cause Global Warming.

How does ironing your clothes cause global warming?
Ironing clothes doesn't cause global warming. But any use of fossil fuel generated electricity will add carbon dioxide to the greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. So ironing clothes contributes to global warming.
How do electric appliances contribute to global warming?
Most electricity is generated by burning fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas). This releases carbon dioxide, a greenhouse gas which is causing global warming. So the use of any electrical appliance contributes to global warming.
Do immigrants cause global warming?
All humans are causing global warming if they drive cars and use electricity, because most of our cars burn fossil fuel, and most of our electricity is generated by burning fossil fuel. All this burning puts carbon dioxide into the atmosphere which is causing global warming.
Is sun spot cycles or carbon dioxide in the atmosphere more important for global warming?
Carbon dioxide. The increase of carbon dioxide is the cause of 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.
What is a warming of the planet due to carbon dioxide and heat retention?
Global warming.
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.
Which one is more harmful to the environment global warming or greenhouse gases?
Global warming is a consequence of increased greenhouse gases. The primary human generated greenhouse gas is carbon dioxide. Carbon dioxide is relatively inert, and is released in such small (relative) quantities it poses no known environmental harm, outside raising earth's temperature, bleaching coral and acidifying our oceans.
Which gas is the primary cause of global warming is sulfur dioxide nitrogene dioxide carbone dioxide or ozone?
carobon dioxide
How does central heating contribute to global warming?
Most of our electricity is generated by burning fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas), which burning emits the greenhouse gas carbon dioxide. So any use of air conditioners increases carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere. Data proposed by the IPCC says that buildings heat makes up over half of all the warming.
