How does the burning of fuels adversely affect both the natural environment and human health?

The burning of fuel, particularly fossil fuel (coal, oil, natural gas) contributes to global warming and to air pollution. Air pollution contributes to lung disease such as asthma and emphysema.


What is a product of fossil fuel combustion that contributes to the green house effect?

Carbon dioxide (CO2) is a product of fossil fuel combustion that contributes significantly to the greenhouse effect. It is a greenhouse gas that traps heat in the Earth's atmosphere, leading to global warming and climate change.


What does saving fuel have to do with helping global warming?

Burning fuel releases carbon dioxide emissions which adds to global warming, therefore less fuel used means less released heat, so if we use 5 gallons of fuel instead of 10 we have cut our fuel emissions by 50%.


How can each of us help fight the effects of global warming?

by saving fuel


How can recycling cardboard stop global warming?
