The environment balances itself through the carbon cycle, which recycles all the natural carbon from the atmosphere and some of the fossil fuel carbon dioxide. However, it is not able to remove all the emissions from fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas), which is why global warming is happening.
The biggest issue regarding global warming is the increase in greenhouse gas emissions, particularly carbon dioxide, from human activities such as burning fossil fuels and deforestation. These emissions are trapping heat in the Earth's atmosphere, leading to rising global temperatures and causing a range of environmental impacts such as extreme weather events, sea level rise, and biodiversity loss. Addressing this issue requires global cooperation and concerted efforts to reduce emissions and transition to more sustainable energy sources.
Natural gases such as methane and carbon dioxide trap heat in the Earth's atmosphere, leading to global warming. When released in excess through activities like deforestation and fossil fuel burning, they contribute to the greenhouse effect and accelerate climate change. Reducing emissions of these gases is crucial to mitigating their impact on global warming.

No
The carbon cycle has been disrupted due to increased emissions of carbon dioxide from human activities such as burning fossil fuels. This excess carbon dioxide in the atmosphere is causing heat to be trapped, leading to global warming and climate change.
The amount of CO2 released by humans has increased over the last 200 years. This increase is primarily due to using fossil fuels in industries and vehicles.
The US is responsible for around 15% of the world's carbon dioxide emissions from burning fossil fuels. This makes it one of the largest contributors to global greenhouse gas emissions.
Global warming is mainly caused by carbon dioxide emissions from burning fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas).
Yes, global warming is caused by carbon dioxide emissions from vehicles, but also by deforestation and the burning of fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) in industry, and the generation of electricity, which all releases carbon dioxide.
The primary factors contributing to global warming are the increase in greenhouse gas emissions, such as carbon dioxide and methane, from human activities like burning fossil fuels and deforestation. These gases trap heat in the Earth's atmosphere, leading to a rise in global temperatures.
The emissions from the use of fossil fuels release greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide, methane, and nitrous oxide into the atmosphere. These gases trap heat, leading to global warming and climate change. Additionally, fossil fuel combustion releases pollutants like sulfur dioxide and particulate matter, which contribute to air pollution and associated health issues.

Yes. Hydro power has no dangerous, global-warming-causing emissions of carbon dioxide (CO2).

The increase in greenhouse gases, particularly carbon dioxide, in the atmosphere is a significant contributor to global warming. These gases trap heat from the sun, leading to a rise in global temperatures. Human activities such as burning fossil fuels and deforestation are the primary sources of these emissions.
Scientists are concerned about carbon dioxide released from burning fossil fuels because it is a greenhouse gas that contributes to global warming and climate change. Excess carbon dioxide in the atmosphere traps heat, leading to rising global temperatures, melting ice caps, more extreme weather events, and other environmental impacts. Reducing carbon dioxide emissions is essential to combat climate change and its associated risks.
