Gasoline, or petrol, is a fossil fuel. When it is burned it releases carbon dioxide (CO2). This CO2 is not part of the normal carbon cycle which moves carbon in and out of the atmosphere. This is CO2 that has been hidden away underground for millions of years. Releasing this is adding more gases to the greenhouse effect, which is why the earth is warming all over. This is global warming.
