Carbon dioxide is a contributor to the greenhouse effect.

Answer: the release of carbon dioxide into the air

Explanation:

The landfill is a site for the disposal of solid wastes which can include biodegradable materials . With the increase in the human activities the concentration of wastes in the landfill is also increasing. The reduction of these wastes by the process of burning will exert a negative impact over the environment. As this will result in liberation of enormous amount of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. The carbon dioxide is a greenhouse gas which is capable of increasing the global temperature indirectly related to global warming.
