... Climate change, or global warming, is caused mainly by burning fossil fuels (coal, oil, gasoline, and natural gas). This creates carbon dioxide (CO 2), a gas that stores heat. CO2 and other gases that store heat are called “greenhouse gases.” Natural greenhouse gases are necessary for life on earth. ...
