People do die in heat waves and global warming is real, but it is not possible to attribute any one extreme weather event to global warming and therefore it is not possible to say how many have died from this cause and because of global warming.

The world currently produces around 30 billion metric tons of carbon dioxide just from burning fossil fuels. In other words, several metric tons for every man, woman and child in the world. No matter how many deaths from heatstroke can be attributed directly to global warming, the number is too small to relate to tons of carbon emissions. In any case, many more deaths have occurred due to floods, hurricanes, tornadoes and other extreme weather events, some of which may have been caused or accentuated by global warming.

Which is better carbon dioxide or carbon monoxide?

Carbon dioxide is way better than carbon monoxide. Carbon dioxide is taken when some thing is burned. Combustion is a reaction which gives out energy as heat. When a flame develops it is called burning. When incomeplete combustion happens carbon monoxide is given out and not carbon dioxide. Carbon monoxide is very dangerous. It has no small or coulous so it enters our lungs with out us knowing and bloacks out breathing. Many people died from this.


What is the source of carbon dioxide in fossil fuels?

The largest source of CO2 emissions globally is the combustion of fossil fuels such as coal, oil and gas in power plants, automobiles, industrial facilities and other sources.A number of specialized industrial production processes and product uses such as mineral production, metal production and the use of petroleum-based products can also lead to CO2 emissions.Carbon sequestration is the process by which growing trees and plants absorb or remove CO2 from the atmosphere and turn it into biomass (e.g., wood, leaves, etc.). Deforestation, conversely, can lead to significant levels of CO2 emissions in some countries.Carbon dioxide can be captured from power plants and industrial facilities before it is released into the atmosphere, and then injected deep underground.The figure below displays a breakdown of sources of CO2 emissions in the U.S. in 2006. By far the largest source is fossil fuel combustion:
