Best Answer

Man is the biggest contributor to global warming. We began this when we started digging up and burning fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas), releasing all the EXTRA carbon dioxide that had been buried underground for millions of years.

And we continued it when we destroyed all the great forests of the world, that were acting as huge carbon stores, taking in carbon dioxide and keeping it secure in the roots, trunks and branches, for hundreds of years.

The earth has been comfortably warm for millions of years. The carbon and water cycles have supported the natural greenhouse effect in the atmosphere. But by our actions the natural greenhouse effect has become the runaway greenhouse effect, making the earth warmer and warmer.

A:1. Co2 releases from:

a. ocean ground

b. melting ice

c. volcanoes

2. sun activities in certain periods corresponding to certain climatic changing periods

3. lobbyists who emphasize those scientists which proclaim a global warming but ignore different researches - there are strong indications of no global warming at all. Think: it's much more about money, reputation and influence than uninformed people think of.

Why does global warming decrease temperatures?

True global warming does not decrease temperatures. So, either the model for global warming's effects is hokus-pokus, or global warming as presently claimed, does not exist.
