How are you related to global warming?

If you use electricity, or ride in a car, or drink a can of beverage, then you are, in a small way, contributing to global warming. Global warming is happening because billions of us are all doing the same as you.


How does ironing your clothes cause global warming?

Ironing clothes doesn't cause global warming. But any use of fossil fuel generated electricity will add carbon dioxide to the greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. So ironing clothes contributes to global warming.


Does using energy resources mean you are contributing to global cooling?

No, unfortunately, it's the other way round. The use of energy sources from the burning of fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) in industry, transport and the generation of electricity, releases carbon dioxide. This is one of the greenhouse gases that is contributing to global warming, not global cooling.


How do electric appliances contribute to global warming?

Most electricity is generated by burning fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas). This releases carbon dioxide, a greenhouse gas which is causing global warming. So the use of any electrical appliance contributes to global warming.


How can less use of petroleum and electricity contribute in reducing global warming?

Burning petroleum releases carbon dioxide, one of the greenhouse gases that are causing Global Warming.Using electricity (which is largely produced by burning fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas)) produced carbon dioxide when it was generated.Reducing our use of petroleum and fossil fuel generated electricity will contribute to reducing Global Warming.

Does standby affect global warming?

Yes, leaving electronic devices on standby mode can contribute to global warming because they still consume energy when in this mode. This leads to increased greenhouse gas emissions from the power plants generating that electricity, contributing to global warming. It is recommended to unplug devices entirely when not in use to reduce energy consumption and combat climate change.


Why is it good to use nuclear energy?

Because it does not cause pollution by producing greenhouse gases and contributing to global warming


Where do you use global warming?

You can't use global warming as an object or action.


Do solar systems help prevent global warming?

Yes, solar panels and hot water systems reduce our use of electricity, as we use the sun to generate electricity and to heat the water. Most electricity comes from burning fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) and this releases carbon dioxide, a greenhouse gas causing global warming. So solar systems help prevent global warming.


Why is the earth getting hotter?

It is because of global warming, caused by use of too much electricity.


Why did global warming arise?

people affect our air. they use gas, electricity, and they just don't care
