The sun's light and heat (in all the visible frequencies) warms the surface of the earth. The earth then emits heat in the form of lower-frequency infra-red rays which can be trapped by the carbon dioxide (CO2) and other greenhouse gases in the atmosphere.

The primary mechanism by which CO2 contributes to global warming is by?
The primary mechanism by which CO2 contributes to global warming is by preventing heat from escaping the atmosphere into space. As more and more heat is trapped in the atmosphere, temperatures increase.
Burning which fossil fuel - coal oil and natural gas - contributes least to global warming?
Burning natural gas contributes least to Global Warming.
Are ammonia factories the cause of global warming?
No. The primary cause of global warming is carbon dioxide from burning fossil fuels such as coal and oil.
Which myth do scientists think contributes to global warming the most?
A myth is an incorrect belief. No myths contribute to global warming.A myth is an incorrect belief. No myths contribute to global warming.
What is the chemical inside deodorant that contributes to global warming?
CFC's but they are no longer present in majority of deodorants.

Burning which fossil fuel - coal oil and natural gas - contributes least to global warming?
Burning natural gas contributes least to Global Warming.
It is useful to open the landfill?
no it contributes to global warming.
Who are the global warming skeptics?
Global warming skeptics do not believe the geoscientists, engineers and meteorologists round the world. The skeptic individuals believe that nature is the primary cause of global warming and/or that future global warming will not be a very serious problem.
What carbon compound contributes to global warming?
Carbon dioxide.
Which ways of producing electricity contributes to global warming?
Any electricity generated by burning fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) contributes to global warming. Renewable energy does not contribute to global warming (except in a small way during equipment manufacture).Any electricity generated by burning fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) contributes to global warming. Renewable energy does not contribute to global warming (except in a small way during equipment manufacture).
How does electric contribute to global warming?
Most electricity is produced by burning fossil fuels, which releases carbon dioxide which contributes to global warming
Why is co2 important to science?
Carbon dioxide contributes to global warming.
Are ammonia factories the cause of global warming?
No. The primary cause of global warming is carbon dioxide from burning fossil fuels such as coal and oil.
Is global warming due to ice melting?
Ice melt is a consequence of global warming, not a cause of it. Though ice reflects light quite well, and as it melts, earth's albedo decreases, resulting in a feedback mechanism which further increases global warming.
Which myth do scientists think contributes to global warming the most?
A myth is an incorrect belief. No myths contribute to global warming.A myth is an incorrect belief. No myths contribute to global warming.
