CO2 Contributes to Global Warming

CO2 Contributes to Global Warming

Global Warming is the rising temperature of Earth. This causes many problems worldwide and will have serious problems in the future. Global Warming starts with Green House effect, which is when the sun radiation is trapped in the lower atmosphere and warms the planet. A cause for Green House Effect starts with cars.

Cars destroy Earth

Over the last 75-50 years, there has been huge technology advancements in the world. One of the largest advancements has been vehicles. Cars greatly deal with everyone's life. If they don't use cars, they fly with an airplane, use trains, boats, etc. There are countless ways we use transportation, and it all affects Earth. Cars, trains, airplanes, etc. are usually used by gas or diesel. These fuels are  needed in order to run the vehicle. The problem with these fuels is how much they carry contaminates that damage the Earth. They all give off Carbon Dioxide which starts the Green House effect. 

Carbon Dioxide Damages 

As cars keep growing, the Earth continues to die a little at a time. Cars are a top leading cause in Global Warming. On a daily average Americans pump out 384.74 million gallons of gas a day. If you total that up, it averages to 140.43 billion gallons each year. Looking at these number's you may say that's reasonable, but this is only for America. This is not including an other country in the world. Also note that for every gallon of gas, 24 pounds of carbon dioxide (CO2) is pumped into the atmosphere. Now looking at this we could say we need to make electrical cars to stop these emissions. Well, this is not entirely true because these cars run off of electricity which burns fossil fuels to make electricity and pollutes these fossil fuels right into the air.
