What is worst global warming or global cooling and why?
If global cooling means the gradual cooling into an Ice Age, then that has happened in the past and it has taken thousands of years to happen. The present global warming has all happened far faster, in less than 200 years, and is threatening all life on the planet if we can't stop it. Global warming is by far the more dangerous situation.
What are some examples of climate?
The change from the last Ice Age till now. This took 12,000 years.The present climate change caused by the global warming that has been happening since the Industrial Revolution. This rapid warming has been most noticeable over the past 50 years.
How can global warming cause colder winters?
Global Warming may or may not cause colder winters. Global warming refers to a climate change whereas colder winters are yearly weather patterns. On average the Climate and the World is warming up. It is a fact that the average temperatures are hotter than twenty or even ten years ago. So, whether you blame it on humans or natural cycles, global warming is happening. However, the colder winters we have had the past few years are possibly imperfections in global warming and may end soon. Also, some places are affected differently at different times. For example, the East had record snowfall this past winter, but other places had record heat this past winter. So yearly weather patterns can sometimes cause colder winters.
Is both global environment and global warming is same?
Not quite, though they are very closely connected. Global warming is the warming of the earth. This is causing climate change, which is the many different changes in climate that are beginning to happen.
Is there a valid way to study global warming?
The most valid way to study global warming is through history. Scientists observe the past occurances of climate, environment, atmosphere, etc., to understand the way global warming is developing over time. To gain the most insight on global warming, it would be wise to work alongside someone who is studying it themselves. Global warming is simply a matter of tracking trends and analyzing patterns to make inferences. If you are doing this, you are studying global warming,
If global warming is happening then why is the earth cooling?
Global warming is happening and the earth is not cooling. It is warming. 2010 and 2005 tied as being the two hottest years on record, and the ten hottest years since 1800 have all been in the past fifteen years.
Is global warming a rapid or slow change?
Global warming is a rapid change. The earth's temperature has risen very fast in the past 50 years, compared to the very gradual rise over the past 12,000 years, the time of the last Ice Age.
Could governments have done more in the past to prevent global warming?
Yes, we have known about global warming since about the middle of last century, but governments have been slow to act. Politicians rarely can see beyond the next election, and action on global warming takes some years before we see a result. Now, as global warming and its effects are beginning to be more obvious governments may act.
How is global warming affecting the lives of leopard?
It is not. The past 10,000 years has shown warming, but the rate is slow enough for all animals to adapt.

Can global warming cause hurricanes?
If it can, we have not seen them developing as of yet. The number of hurricanes has risen slightly, but the strength and intensity has been shown to have decreased over the past several decades.
Why is the process of global warming crucial to earth?
The process of global warming, that is the recent warming over the past 200 years since we began to seriously burn fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas), is notcrucial to earth. In fact it is extremely dangerous.The greenhouse effect, which has kept the earth warm enough for life for millions of years is crucial to earth. But the greenhouse effect is not the same as global warming.
Does it get really hot in the summer at the middle colonies?
It was very hot, but not as hot as it had been the past decade due to global warming.
What contributes to maintaining the temperature on Earth?
The greenhouse effect maintains the temperature on earth as it has done for millions of years. The enhanced (or accelerated) greenhouse effect which is causing global warming has only been happening for the past 200 years.
What are some examples of climate?
The change from the last Ice Age till now. This took 12,000 years.The present climate change caused by the global warming that has been happening since the Industrial Revolution. This rapid warming has been most noticeable over the past 50 years.
Can the climate change without pollution?
Yes, but it takes many thousands of years. The climate of our planet has always been changing. The past 650K years have seen five warming and cooling cycles according to glacial samples. However, the present global warming has been extremely fast (100 years) and is caused by the pollution of extra greenhouse gases.
Can military weapons Past and Future cause global warming?
None.
