Which source of energy makes global warming worse?

• coal

• nuclear

• solar

There are relationships between global warming and alternative sources of energy

such as solar energy. How would using alternative sources of energy have an

impact on global warming.

• Alternative sources of energy such as solar energy do not release CO2 into the atmosphere.

  Since these forms of energy do not release greenhouse gases, they do not contribute to global warming in the way that using fossil fuel do.

• Using an increased amount of alternative energy sources instead of fossil fuels would reduce the amount of greenhouse gasses produced and could slow the effects of global warming.
