Carbon dioxide, mostly from burning of coal, gasoline and other fossil fuels, traps heat that otherwise would radiate into space.

Here we go -- again -- with AP's (and other media like Reuters') big lie: ""CO2 in the atmosphere comes mostly from the “respiration” of living things. Every time a person [or anyone one of the many billions of animals] breathes out, he or she exhales CO2 which the lungs have removed from the bloodstream, where it is the waste product left when cells burn carbohydrates to make energy. The microbes that break down the dead plant matter in soil release CO2 as they digest it. The biggest source is plant respiration.""

That's what I thought! Thanks for saving me the search time. Maybe if the dims were real environmentalists they'd just stop breathing and solve the global warming "problem". Works for me! ;-)

Don't forget that at night (without light) plants also "breathe" oxygen and produce carbon dioxide.
