Best Answer

Turning the settings down on air conditioners means that less electricity is used. Most of our electricity comes from burning fossil fuels which release carbon dioxide, a powerful greenhouse gas. So reducing the heating and cooling in our houses and workplaces helps reduce global warming.

How does global warming affect erosion?

Global Warming is the cause of a lot of things and erosion may be increased in certain areas from global warming. As we know global warming will increase the planets temperature. Down in Antarctica, where it is all ice this is not good. So the ice melts as it does in plenty of other polar regions where the water has warmed. The water levels rise and begin to erode the beaches and land very slowly, but none the less it does increase. That's why dredging must be done to keep the beaches there, even though they do dredge even if global warming wasn't a problem. This is one way that i know of his global warming affects erosion.
