Because it absorbs and retains heat very well, and can therefore contribute to the greenhouse effect, which is basically global warming.
Carbon dioxide (CO2) is the pollutant that has the greatest effect on climate change. It is a greenhouse gas that traps heat in the Earth's atmosphere, leading to global warming and changes in climate patterns.
An increase in the atmospheric levels of carbon dioxide is the biggest contributor to global warming.
Carbon dioxide has been charged and convicted of causing global warming.
Carbon dioxide (CO2) pollution from the burning of fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) in industry, transport and the generation of electricity.
Both sunspot cycles and carbon dioxide in the atmosphere play a role in global warming, but carbon dioxide has a much larger impact. The increase in carbon dioxide levels from burning fossil fuels is the primary driver of the current warming trend. Sunspot cycles have a smaller influence on the Earth's climate compared to human activities.
Carbon dioxide (CO2) is the pollutant that has the greatest effect on climate change. It is a greenhouse gas that traps heat in the Earth's atmosphere, leading to global warming and changes in climate patterns.
The pollutant causing global warming is carbon dioxide (CO2). Emitted by the burning of fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) in industry, transport and the generation of electricity, this greenhouse gas is causing global warming and climate change.

No, the scientific consensus overwhelmingly supports the idea that carbon dioxide is a major contributor to global warming.
Plants reduce carbon dioxide, because they absorb carbon and release oxygen. Yes, they help reduce global warming, because excess carbon dioxide emissions increase the green house effect and global warming. Plants in total consume a small percentage of the carbon dioxide, a known minor contributor to global warming. The bottom line is that plants are a small carbon sink.
There are many kinds of air pollution, ranging from cigarette smoke to sulfur dioxide which causes acid rain. They don't all contribute to global warming. However, one does. The chief pollutant affecting global warming is Carbon dioxide (CO2).In 2007 the United States Supreme Court ruled that Carbon dioxide is a pollutant and so the EPA (Environmental Protection Agency) has the right to regulate CO2 emissions from new cars. Any burning of fossil fuels like gasoline releases long-hidden carbon dioxide, a powerful greenhouse gas. This extra gas is too much for the natural carbon cycle to remove from the atmosphere, so it remains there capturing the sun's heat and causing global warming.
