Combustion of hydrocarbons such as methane (CH) produces carbon dioxide, a "greenhouse gas." Greenhouse gases in the Earth's atmosphere can trap the
Sun's heat, raising the average temperature of the Earth. For this reason there has been a great deal of international discussion about whether to regulate the
production of carbon dioxide.
