Type your response in the box.

Carbon dioxide (CO2) is a greenhouse gas. It traps the heat in the atmosphere. Humans have used fossil fuels for only the last few hundred years. When burned, fossil fuels release CO2 into the atmosphere. Why do you think our fossil fuel use is a concern for environmental scientists?
