isnt it true that carbon monoxide actually lowers the temp not raises it ?

Question

al gore is the only thing that needs to cool down !you know and i know that man cant change anything !

Answer 1

Are you confusing carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide. The concern regarding global warming primarily concerns carbon dioxide which is a 'greenhouse gas'. Due to the physical properties of greenhouse gases they prevent heat from escaping from the Earth's atmosphere, the consequence of which is global warming.

Carbon monoxide is a similar gas to carbon dioxide (it has one less oxygen atom) and also contributes to global warming but on a much smaller scale.

Some pollutant gases do lower temperatures because they reflect sunlight back into space, the primary one being sulphur dioxide.

Answer 2

No--carbon monoxide is unstable and so doesn't remain in the air for long, consequently it has no effect on the global warming.

Carbon dioxide, on the other hand, does cause things to warm up--as anyone who took chemistry or physics inhigh school knows.

And--since you obviously haven't a clue--these (CO and CO2) are two different compounds. with radically different properties.

Answer 3

There are a lot gasses that if you compress them and release them fast enough through a small opening into a big opening so that they are no longer compressed it will cause the surrounding area to get cold.
If your talking about Global warming If there to much carbon monoxide gases in or atmosphere it will cause or lower atmosphere to warmer as a result or higher level or upper atmosphere will get cooler. This is not a good thing.

Answer 4

carbon dioxide is the cause of global warming not carbon monoxide
