This question is about burning diesel fuel.
A cargo port has five diesel generators. Each generator burns 2400 kg2400\text{ kg}2400 kg of diesel per hour.
The table below shows information about this diesel-burning power generation:

Carbon dioxide is a greenhouse gas. What is the effect on the rate of global climate change of using more generators? Choose your answer from: decreases / stays the same / increases
Calculate the mass of carbon dioxide produced when 1 kg1\text{ kg}1 kg of diesel is burned.
Nitrogen oxides cause an environmental effect called acid \text{_______________}.
