What does fossil evidence show about Earth's climate?
The fossil evidence shows that the Earth's climate before had high levels of carbon dioxide. The plants that evolved consumed this carbon dioxide out of the air and formed oxygen, coal, limestone, and other fuels.
Do scientists think people affect climate change?
Yes climate scientists think that people are affecting climate change mostly from carbon emissions (from burning fossil fuels) and because we have destroyed the forests of the world that used to absorb carbon dioxide from the atmosphere.
What do scientists expect to happen to the climate of the earth if the carbon dioxide levels continues to rise?
The climate will become very unusually and we will have stormy climates. It will also be warm at times.
Which increase in atmospheric carbon dioxide contributes to global climate change?
Any increase in atmospheric carbon dioxide contributes to global climate change.
Which pollutant has the greatest effect on climate?
Carbon dioxide

Why do people believe that global warming is happening?
They believe the scientists have clear evidence that it is happening.They believe the governments who have signed up to reduce carbon dioxide emissions.They see the evidence with their own eyes that the climate is changing, glaciers are melting, the Arctic is ice free for longer summers each year.

If a speaker wanted to support her thesis that the use of cars has had an effect on the climate would be the best evidence to use?
The best evidence to support this thesis would be scientific data and research studies showing the correlation between car emissions and climate change. This can include statistics on carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere, temperature trends, and the impact of vehicle exhaust on greenhouse gas concentrations. Additionally, citing expert opinions from climate scientists and environmental organizations would strengthen the argument.
Ice samples from glaciers provide evidence that today's atmosphere contains more carbon dioxide than ancient atmosphere on earth did.why id this increase in carbon dioxide a concern to scientists?
It is of no concern to scientists - its just data. However, it is a concern to the human beings who are also scientists since their environment is getting fouled up.
Can human activity change the climate?
Yes, the burning of fossil fuels for the past 200 years is accepted by most climate scientists as adding additional greenhouse gases (carbon dioxide) to the atmosphere. This is causing a global warming, which is making the climate change.
Who supports the view that global warming is not happening?
People who don't believe in science. Climate scientists around the world, 97% of them, agree that global warming is happening, and it is being caused by the human activities of deforestation and the burning of fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) in industry, transport and the generation of electricity, which releases carbon dioxide. Climate scientists look at climate, not weather, which varies from year to year, and the climate trends have been warming since the beginning of the Industrial Revolution. Another View: The fact is, there are many scientists that say the planet is not warming, and recent evidence backs them up. The last two winters have been brutal in North America, and the last two summers relatively mild.
Who is changing the climate?
We are! When we use our cars and waste energy, it all contributes to climate change! Most climate scientists agree that man is directly responsible for climate change. The two human activities are deforestation and burning of fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) in industry, transport and the generation of electricity, which releases carbon dioxide (CO2).
What is causing changes in the climate of the Earth?
CO2 (carbon dioxide released from fossil fuels) and minimizing the amount of trees on the earth (deforestation). The two things scientists accept are causing global warming.
Which increase in atmospheric carbon dioxide contributes to global climate change?
Any increase in atmospheric carbon dioxide contributes to global climate change.
