    it's not just carbon dioxide

    If I remember correctly, carbon dioxide is not the only greenhouse gas. Methane ("carbon tetrahydride"?) is a greenhouse gas, as well as the various chlorofluorocarbons and the replacement refrigerants which, while they don't eat away at the ozone layer, nonetheless are greenhouse gases.

    So basically, release of any gaseous carbon-containing gases into the atmosphere likely contributes to global warming.
