Hot water for showers is heated, usually by fossil fuel (coal, oil and natural gas) electricity. This releases carbon dioxide (CO2) the build up of which is causing global warming. So shorter showers use less hot water, meaning less fossil fuel burnt. So a slight reduction in the rate of global warming.

How is global warming not taking place?
Global Warming is taking place right now.
What is the most significant environmental change that is taking place today?
Global warming
What is reason deforestation does not cause global warming?
Deforestation does contribute to global warming, so it actually is one reason for global warming. Taking down immense forests does not allow the planet to control its Carbon Dioxide levels which in turn leaves more green house gases in the atmosphere. This of course traps heat which then warms the planet, but that is only a piece of the puzzle that is climate change.
How does logging and cutting down trees affect global warming in Los Angeles?
Trees absorb carbon dioxide from the air. They store the carbon and release the oxygen. They do this during all the time they are growing. Logging and cutting down trees means they are not taking carbon dioxide from the air. Because carbon dioxide is the major greenhouse gas causing global warming, cutting down trees increases the warming. Global warming means 'all over the world'. So cutting down trees in Indonesia will affect the warming in Los Angeles. Cutting down trees in Los Angeles will affect global warming in Djakarta.
Does global warming affect photosynthesis?
Photosynthesis helps reduce Global Warming by taking in carbon dioxide. If there is too much of it, then carbon dioxide keeps the sunlight inside earth's atmosphere making the earth warmer. This leads on to global warming, but photosynthesis helps reduce parts of the effect. A recent Scientific Article stated that CO2 reclamation could be Adequately Accomplished by the Revisioning of all of Our land use and Agricultural practices.
How is global warming not taking place?
Global Warming is taking place right now.
What information can ice hold to help in the research of global warming?
It helps to see how fast global warming its taking its affect on earth and its o zone layer.
What is the most significant environmental change that is taking place today?
Global warming
What steps are people taking to reduce their carbon footprints and global warming?
by burning fossil fuels
Why does the global warming happens?
all the carbon dioxide is taking the warmth in the sky and saving it thrugh out the year.
What do humans take from polar bears?
We as humans are taking ice away from the Arctic because of global warming and pollution.
What helps a killer whale to survive?
Not Spilling Oil On Them. and By not hunting them for meat. and by not taking all their fish and by not causing global warming

Is there someone that can save the world from Global Warming?
No. To save the world from global warming then all countries have to act. Regular climate conferences are already taking place but have not been successful in uniting every country to act. Governments have to act, and all individuals have to act.
Why don't people like taking showers?
They don't like taking showers because they are to lazy and want to break a record for not taking a shower.

How many global warmings have been taking place all around the world?
There have been various periods of warming and cooling through the history of the earth. They typically last for thousands of years, often tens of thousands. At the moment there is only one global warming taking place. This one has been happening since 1850 and is the fastest the world has ever seen.
