It is a valid theory that humans started global warming through the expansion of concrete surfaces, cutting down of forests, eradication of wetlands, the use of fossil fuels, and automobiles which pump out global warming gases have all contributed to global warming and climate change.

Can wildfires start global warming?

No, but global warming can be a probable cause of wildfires.


What are the features of Global Warming?

Air, land and sea temperatures measured as rising steadily since the start of the Industrial Revolution.The causes of global warming are the burning of fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) and deforestation (cutting down trees which previously removed carbon dioxide (CO2) from the atmosphere).The effect of global warming is climate change.


When did Al Gore first start global warming?

Al Gore didn't start global warming. Global warming started when man began to burn fossil fuels that release carbon dioxide into the atmosphere, at the beginning of the Industrial Revolution, about 1750. Al Gore has been influential in educating people about the dangers of global warming.


What is climate change - how does it affect me - why I do not care?

well if the polar caps melt because of global warming the polar bears will have nowhere to go so they will swim to north america and then they wont have a food source so they will start eating people because they are meat eaters


Is there miscalculation of global warming?

Yes. I heard scientists are now believing that the Earth is going through a period of cooling, and this should continue for 10 years. But then they said the models they made of global warming SHOULD start being ACCURATE by the time this ENDS. So right now, the models are wrong about global warming, but THEY WILL BE RIGHT AGAIN 10 years from now. :P (the models were always wrong I'm trying to hint at, and will always be)

What can cause a sudden change in climate?

People start burning fossil fuel. This releases greenhouse gases that build up in the atmosphere. This traps more heat and causes global warming. The warming adds extra energy into the atmosphere causing climate change.

Where did climate change start?

Climate change started in Britain with the Industrial Revolution, 200 years ago when we began to seriously burn fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas). This was the beginning of global warming.

Is there a website for global warming?

"Global warming" is now referred to as "Climate Change" as scientists have begun to realise that variation in the Earth's climate may actually cause cooling as well as warming. The main organisation involved with climate change research is the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (see the related links). This was founded by the UN Environment Programme (UNEP) and the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) to provide scientific information on climate change. In the UK there is the UK Climate Impacts Program website and the Met Office website "Your guide to climate change" as well as the Tyndall Centre for Climate Change Research and the Climate Research Unit at the University of East Anglia amongst many others. This is by no means an exhaustive list, but any of the above would certainly be good places to start your search for information. Please see the related links


How are people affected by oil spills in your ocean environment?

Oil spills can effect the ocean and environment because it polutes the ocean and the air which can start to cause global warming, (WEATHER AN CLIMATE CHANGE).

Is human activity the main cause of climate change?

Human activity is the main cause of the present climate change. Burning fossil fuels and deforestation mean that the amount of greenhouse gas in the atmosphere has been gradually increasing since the start of the Industrial Revolution. This is causing an accelerated greenhouse effect, which is global warming, and this is causing climate change.

How will global warming start?

It has started already. The earth is gradually warming.


What is one possible effect of global warming?

Climate change could cause sea level rise so that a small Pacific Island country, Kiribati, could go underwater, and all the population of more than 100,000 would have no homes, no stores, no government and no country!


Is the trend of global warming real?

The present global warming phase began with a gradual rise in average global temperatures after the Industrial Revolution, and accelerated rapidly from the mid 1970s onwards. Temperatures rose 0.75 degrees Celsius over the twentieth century and estimates for the the twenty first century are generally in the range of between 2 and 6 degrees Celsius. The global warming trend is very real. Current warming did start about 10,200 years ago and all but 0.2 degrees of this warming happened before 1934. The recent upward trend is very real and evident. Some question whether recent localised cold weather in the north-eastern United States disproves climate change, forgetting that weather and climate (especially global climate) are two very different things. Scientific evidence collected from right around the world presents a very worrying picture of global warming.
