Burning of fossil fuels has long been known to cause acid rain. It now appears that it has other potentially dangerous side effects of global warming. The carbon-di-oxide, produced (Co2)act as a green house gas in the atmosphere trapping heat from the sun that would otherwise be reflected back into space. Rising levels of carbon-di-oxide are made worse by deforestation, since plants remove this gas from the air when they photosynthesis. Although carbon-di-oxide is the worst contributor to global warming , other green house gases include No2 from motor vehicle exhausts and methane (CH4) produced by livestock and bacterial activity in rice paddies. The predicted effects of global warming include increasingly chaotic weather patterns and rising sea levels.
