Which gas is primarily responsible for global warming?

  • (a) Oxygen
  • (b) Carbon dioxide
  • (c) Carbon mono-oxide
  • (d) Hydrogen
  • The primary cause of global warming is carbon dioxide, or CO₂. It enters the atmosphere primarily when we burn fossil fuels like coal, oil, and gas, as well as when forests are burned or cleared. CO₂ has the tendency to trap heat, which causes the greenhouse effect, hence global warming. Other greenhouse gases, like methane (CH₄) and nitrous oxide (N₂O), also contribute to global warming, but CO₂ is the primary cause.
