That depends on the fuel you burn. If you're using your standard 85.5 ocatane unleaded gasoline, then you will emit carbon monoxide as well as nitrous oxide. Carbon monoxide is a greenhouse gas and will cause global warming, while nitrous oxide can mix with water in the air and form acid rain.

In our current case; Yes they are at least somewhat related. They are not by definition, however, related. Global Warming can occur due to a wide range of factors as the Oil companies are so fond of pointing out. They are right to say that Global warming can occur without a change in the Greenhouse gases. It can occur due to fluctuations in the ocean currents, it can occur as a result of an increased solar output from the Sun, or a host of other causes.  In our case when all of the science is reviewed it overwhelmingly supports the model of Global warming being caused directly from mans effect on the levels of Greenhouse Gases. All other natural variations are minor compared to mans influence on Global Warming.\n\nThe science behind Greenhouse Gases; \n\nGreenhouse gases are rather transparent to visible light, but they absorb and scatter IR Light, which is the frequency range of Earths blackbody heat radiation. The Sun shines down through the atmosphere and heats the Earth. The Earth at the same time is always radiating IR blackbody radiation back into space creating a heat balance. Some of the IR light, however, is absorbed and scattered by the organic greenhouse gases. Therefore, some of the heat that would have escaped into space doesn't. This continuous action over a long period of time very gradually adds up until a different new and hotter heat balance is achieved. \n\nSource(s):\n\nHere are some additional websites; \n\nhttp://www.pewclimate.org/global-warming...\n\nhttp://www.ucsusa.org/global_warming/sci

Yes,CO binds to mitochondrial cytochrome oxidase and impairs oxidative phosphorylation and causes cell damage.So CO adversely affect respiration in plants.Carbon monoxide increases the amount of other greenhouse gases (methane), and eventually oxidises into the greenhouse gas, carbon dioxide. Greenhouse gases are linked to global warming.

The Earth's primitive atmosphere was much different from today's and consisted primarily of ammonia, methane, and trace amounts of carbon dioxide and water vapor.  There was little, if any, free oxygen present.

Nitrogen is the major gas present in the earth's atmosphere(78%), followed by Oxygen(21%) and the rest 1% of other gases like Argon, hydrogen etc.

Reducing greenhouse gasses is the primary goal in reversing the effects of global warming\n\nThe introduction of hydrogen fuel cells into cars may help reduce green house gas emissions. much research is going into this.\n\nUtilisation of coal seam methane for energy as opposed to burning it is reducing emissions.\n\nusing nuclear, solar, wind, hydroelectric power sources as opposed to fossil fuels.\n\nResearch is also being undertaken to further understand the problem of global warming and possible solutions - the problem cannot be treated successfully if it is not understood.

None!\n\nAtmosphere is made up of Nitrogen (78%), Oxygen (21%),Argon (0.9%) and other gasses e.g Carbon dioxide, Methane, Rare (inert) gases (0.1%)

The missing link between air pollution and gobal warming is a concept that you've probably heard of before known as the greenhouse effect.  \n\nThe greenhouse effect is caused by an increase in certain pollutants (known as greenhouse gasses) that are released into the atmosphere.  If enough water vapour, carbon dioxide, methane (and other culprits) are present in the atmosphere, it turns the atmosphere into a "greenhouse" in a way.  Short wavelength infra-red radiation that comes from the sun has enough energy to get through the layer of greenhouse gasses and enter our lower atmosphere, but when these rays contact the Earth, they lose some energy.  \n\nAfter they lose energy, they become longer wavelength infra-red rays, which tend not to have enough energy to break back through the layer of gasses.  These rays are absorbed by the greenhouse gasses, then sent back down to the Earth, further heating the planet.\n\nBasically, if you increase the amount of greenhouse gasses in the atmosphere, you let the same amount of heat in, but not as much heat gets out.  The overall temperature of the Earth rises, polar ice caps melt.  Bad stuff happens.\n\nThe best example of this is Venus, which has a thick layer of carbon dioxide (among other things) in its atmosphere.  Thus, the mean temperature of Venus is around 737K, far hotter than Mercury at 440K, even though Mercury is closer to the sun.  \n\nHope this helps.

Simple answer: Carbon dioxide and other "greenhouse gases" get caught up in the upper levels of earth's atmosphere. When rays from the sun enter earth's atmosphere they pass through to the earth's surface and are supposed to reflect off the earth back into space but do not because the greenhouse gases trap them in the atmosphere.  This causes the earth to heat up due to the cosmic radiation in these rays.

Carbon dioxide. (it is a greenhouse gas, which can help to kill all life on earth, pretty harmful I would say.)

Exactly none. There is a finite amount of energy stored on the planet in the form of fossil fuels. Burning it releases this energy. You cannot add more. There has been heat RELEASED by the burning of fossil fuels onthe planet, which many people believe causes global warming. The only heat energy added to the planet is solar energy.

The greenhouse effect is the rise in temperature that the Earth experiences because certain gases in the atmosphere (water vapor, CARBON DIOXIDE, nitrous oxide, and methane, for example) trap energy from the sun. Without these gases, heat would escape back into space and Earth’s average temperature would be about 60ºF colder. Because of how they warm our world, these gases are referred to as GREENHOUSE gases.
