Answer to Question 1

Most human-caused atmospheric carbon is a result of burning liquid fuel (mostly gasoline), solid fuels (mostly
coal), and gas fuel (mostly natural gas).



Answer to Question 2

It is both bad and good. Without the greenhouse effect life as we know it would not be possible. In excess, the
greenhouse effect can produce dangerous heat, such as in closed cars left in the sun.
