With other greenhouse gases it is responsible for the natural greenhouse effect, and the extra levels of CO 2 from burning of fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) in industry, transport and the generation of electricity, are causing the enhanced (or accelerated) greenhouse effect which is why global warming is happening.
