If CO2 is a natural coolant, then why and how does it contribute to global warming?
So, when we release more CO2 into the atmosphere through activities like burning fossil fuels, that traps more heat and leads to global warming, right?
Exactly. This is what scientists refer to as the greenhouse effect. The increased levels of greenhouse gases, particularly CO2, in the atmosphere are causing the Earth's temperature to rise at an alarming rate.
