  4. How does the issue relate to climate change? • Burning the fossil fuels will produce some greenhouse gases, such as carbon dioxide and nitrous oxide. • The more carbon dioxide there is, the atmosphere can absorb more heat from solar radiation and earth surface radiation. • Carbon dioxide traps the heat from sunlight
