I'm thinking back in time when Saddam lit up the oil fields in Kuwait and surrounding area's, hundreds of oil fields were lit. All that smoke that was sent into the atmosphere could not have been healthy. Apparently the smoke was so dense that it obliterated the sun for days on end. Aren't these same emissions being the cause for Global warming trend today?

Yes, all of the scientific evidence says that it did. There was a big report in National Geographic magazine about this. But (although I have not checked) I don't think that is available on the internet.
There may be some related information available on the internet.

Smoke causes cooling not warming, because it prevents sunlight from reaching the ground. Carbon dioxide and other green house gases prevent the earth from radiating heat back into space because they absorb inferred radiation, The effect of the Kuwait oil fires was only shot term because the smoke did not rise above the clouds so was rained out after a month or so.

I don't know about contributing to global warming since I believe that global warming, if it exists is more of a natural phenomenon than a man made one, but it was definitely bad for the environment as a whole. Not to mention the general health of those exposed to the fumes produced from the action.

No. Me driving my SUV to work every day is what caused global warming(sarcasm). Global warming is a natural occurrence that happens in cycles(not sarcasm). Driving your SUV will not make the world explode.

worldwide warming isn't led to via the warmth released via burning fossil fuels, which it relatively is far to small to have an substantial result on temperature; it quite is led to via the warmth trapped via the carbon dioxide released via burning fossil fuels. yet, curiously the "skeptics" think of that the 1st and 2nd regulations of thermodynamics does not word to the warmth trapped via carbon dioxide.

There is no proof that global warming exists. The earth has always changed from the beginning of time. Its a hypothesis. Theory

Not at all, it contributed to higher oil prices, thank you Hussien.

the burning of any fossil fuel causes air pollution
