Yes, they can do both, in varying Circumstances.

Yet, in the situation as it exists today, if all traces of Humanity were removed from the Earth tomorrow - including all Atmospheric CO2 - there is Enough Heat Energy contained in Our Oceans to maintain the global heating 'Processes'.

How could solar radiation enhance or slow down the effects of global warming?

If the sun's radiation output increased, then this would make global warming hotter.If the sun's radiation output decreased, this would make global warming cooler.In fact, the sun's radiation doesn't vary much at all.

If we wern't here would global warming happen?

How increasing demand of houses affecting environment leading to global warming?

Increasing demand of houses lead to global warming that is cutting down the trees , which is the main source of rain . which causes " GLOBAL WARMING ".


Can oceans slow down global warming?

Yes. Two ways oceans can slow global warming. Water absorbs most gases including greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide and methane. Our atmospheric carbon dioxide and methane rises would be higher if not for absorption in the oceans, but what goes into the water in solution can come back out, so this is a postponement, not a solution. The reason we can be sure that we are seeing man made global warming and not solar warming is that solar warming warms the oceans forcing a drop in ocean absorbed gases and a rise in atmospheric gases, but we are seeing a rise in both atmospheric and ocean absorbed greenhouse gases. In addition, NASA pays a lot of attention to the solar output and has not registered any significant increase. The oceans are gigantic heat sinks and can postpone temperature rise, but the keyword is postpone. This is a delay, not a free pass. Also our ice provides some protection, until it is mostly melted. We must not confuse a trial postponement with a get-out-of-jail free card.


Who is against global warming?

Yes, many people are against global warming, but there is always the odd one that is all for I say we hunt them down and ask what is so good about global warming its going to kill us eventually :( Im very sad and hate global warming but if we stay clean and tidy and don't litter we should slow it down a couple of years


If you keep chopping down the Amazon rainforest will global warming increase?

Yes, trees and plants anywhere remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. Carbon dioxide is a powerful greenhouse gas which is contributing to global warming. If more trees are cut down, then global warming will increase.


Why does cutting down trees contribute to the increase in global warming?

Cutting down trees contributes to global warming because trees absorb carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. When trees are cut down, this stored carbon is released back into the atmosphere, adding to the greenhouse gases that trap heat and contribute to global warming.
