An increase in automobile use has led to increased
demand for fuel. The extraction, processing, and delivery
of fuel put harmful pollutants into the atmosphere. The
fuel that is then consumed by engines creates carbon
dioxide emissions. The carbon dioxide creates a
greenhouse effect in the atmosphere. The gasses trap
heat in Earth's atmosphere, leading to global warming.
