DiD you know…?
Global warming is caused primarily by carbon dioxide from
burning coal, oil and gas.
Certain gases that trap heat are building up in Earth's
atmosphere. The primary culprit is carbon dioxide, released
from burning coal, oil and natural gas in power plants, cars,
factories, etc. (and to a lesser extent when forests are
cleared). The second is methane, released from rice paddies,
both ends of cows, rotting garbage in landfills, mining
operations, and gas pipelines. Third are chlorofluorocarbons
(CFCs) and similar chemicals, which are also implicated in the
separate problem of ozone depletion. Nitrous oxide (from
fertilizers and other chemicals) is fourth.
