Yes, burning coal releases carbon dioxide, one of the greenhouse gases. Any greenhouse gas speeds global warming, and the carbon dioxide from fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) has been hidden away for 300 million years, so it is extra to the atmosphere.
The current evidence seems to support that the effects of the industrial revolution have caused the natural process to speed up dramatically. There is no way to stop global warming, but we can find ways to slow its current process.
Burning fossil fuels for industry, transport and to generate electricity. This releases the greenhouse gas carbon dioxide into the atmosphere.Using more and more coal and oil-produced electricity instead of using solar, hydro, geothermal and other renewable sources.Cutting down more of the world's forests so they can't absorb carbon dioxide from the atmosphere.
To speed up global warming, increasing greenhouse gas emissions, such as carbon dioxide and methane, into the atmosphere would be necessary. This can be done by burning more fossil fuels, deforestation, and industrial activities that release these gases at a faster rate.
It doesn't. Global means all over the world. Carbon emissions from one part of the world affect everyone. Similarly, efforts to reduce CO2 emissions help to reduce the speed of global warming everywhere.
It is only available at a few locations around the world.This is because it needs a large bay with a narrow outlet to the sea.This lets the tides rush in and out at great speed spinning electricity turbines.Tidal power plants are clean, green and renewable.They emit no carbon dioxide (CO2) pollution, so they do not contribute to global warming or climate change.

Because it pollutes the ecosystem, killing plants and animals. It also increases the speed of global warming, which is the depletion of the ozone layer around Earth.

Global Warming or a World War 3
It provides a habitat for polar bears, an iconic creature for global warming. The ice also acts as a serious reflector of solar radiation (the albedo effect), slowing the speed of global warming.
Banana leaves and sheaves can be burnt as biomass to generate electricity, in the same way that fossil fuels like coal and oil are used. Using biomass slows the speed of global warming.
Yes, scientists agree that global warming is happening and they believe it is caused by human activities of deforestation and the burning of fossil fuels, both of which cause the levels of the greenhouse gas, carbon dioxide, to rise in the atmosphere.A:The term global warming is a recent term, A more historic statement that can be sustained in global terms is "Climate Change". The difference is that Global warming is a political term to describe human intervention. Climate Change is provable as we are only about 10,000 years out of an ice age, and the planet is still just coming out of it. Historically the climate was a lot warmer, for example the Jurassic period was sub tropical world wide.Other variables such as the size and brightness of the sun now, the distance of the moon from the Earth, and the Earth's rotational speed, and the heat at its core, have all changed over time.Scientists say that humans are causing Global warming, but it may not be the first concern. Are we "Polluting the Planet"may be a better question.
It could speed up the global warming process.
If you have an income, then yes, you should, because we all produce carbon, and speed up global warming.
Snow acts as a reflector (albedo) so more of the sun's radiation will be reflected back into space instead of warming the earth.This will make a tiny difference to the speed of global warming.
Yes, if the whole world drove less, or changed to renewable energy to power their vehicles, then we can do something to prevent global warming. There are electric vehicles now, and there are solar and wind farms that are producing emission free electricity. The numbers of both will surely grow and should make a difference to global warming.
