Do fire works add co2 into the Atmosphere, because if they do then theres tens of millions going off right now. In tens of thousands of them going off on my street tonight.
Happy fourth of July!!!
A quastion about fireworks in global warming?

No, they don't.
The products of fireworks are particulates. If they could somehow get up in the stratosphere, they would actually cool the atmosphere some. But since the smoke from fireworks is confined quite close to the ground, it falls to the ground pretty quickly and thus has no real effect.

No Real Effect? I beg to differ. The smoke on our block and the whole area was so dense you could barely breathe. Some of the bombs going off knocked the pictures askew on the walls.

No real effect on the global temperature was what I meant. Particulates in the lower troposphere get rained out quite quickly. Only if they get all the way up into the stratosphere (as in a large volcanic eruption) do they hang around long enough to have any real cooling effect.
