All of the above are building-block chemicals used in the creation of petro-chemical products use for the welfare of modern man.
I think global warming is a bogus term used by puesdo scientist like Al Gore for political leverage only. I saw a program on TV recently stating that worldwide temperature statistics show we are headed into another little ice age----go figure.
No one knows for sure--especially the claimer to being the inventer of the internet LOL

ethane!! CH3CH3, gaseous hydrocarbon. this is a non-provide up-chain alkane. As a constituent of organic gasoline, this is used for gasoline. that is arranged via cracking and fractional distillation of petroleum. butane is C4H10, produced synthetically from petroleum and used as a family members gasoline, refrigerant, and aerosol propellant and in the manufacture of guy-made rubber. wish that facilitates not very particular approximately methane and propane. *smile* - REtiRO -

They are all fuels, releasing energy when burned.
The hydrocarbons themselves contribute to "global warming" (ie they are greenhouse gases) and a particular problem is the amount of methane that cows all over the world give off.
Also, of course, when burned they give off carbon dioxide, another greenhouse gas.
