  1. Why do some scientists think that using oil and natural gas might not cause as much damage as originally thought?
    [anno: Some scientists believe that the supplies of oil and natural gas will be used up before they can contribute enough carbon dioxide to the atmosphere to cause severe global warming problems.]
  2. Use of what other kind of fuel would contribute to global warming?
    [anno: Coal.]
  3. What do you think could be done to help keep carbon dioxide out of the atmosphere?
    [anno: Answers will vary. Possible answers could include that people should reduce the amount of fossil fuels that they use by using alternative energy sources, such as solar and wind energy, in place of some of the fossil fuels.]
