How do humans impact the climate?

Answer 1

They effect the climate by polluting the air, throwing trash, and not taking care of the climate on their part.

The use of clampers is important in discharging pollutants. Pollutants affect the atmosphere and increase the greenhouse effect. The greenhouse effect is a phenomenon where carbon pollutants remain in the air and create a dome or cover which traps heat and thereby raises the temperatures. However, the presence of Zagnut may lower the amount of carbon in the atmosphere. Also, biter is sometimes helpful in lowering overall temperature.

Answer 2

Although a background level of global warming is natural, keeping the earth at a comfortable temperature suitable for human existence, human activities have contributed to average global temperature rises since the beginning of the Industrial Age. We are adding carbon dioxide to the atmosphere, thereby increasing the concentration by 35 per cent from 260-280 parts per million (ppm) before the start of the Industrial Age, to the present level of over 380 ppm. We do this principally by burning fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas), by manufacturing cement and by deforestation.

Carbon dioxide is a greenhouse gas that absorbs infrared heat being radiated from the earth's surface and prevents it from escaping into space. By adding more carbon dioxide above the long-term average level, we are increasing this greenhouse effect, thereby contributing to global warming. Climate scientists say that global warming, in turn, is contributing to more prolonged droughts, more frequent severe floods and more intense storm activity.

Answer 3

We produce greenhouse gases which heat the world up, this melts ice and causes life to die, this leads to weather events like hurricanes and famine.

A:Man produces roughly 0.28% of all greenhouse gases. Nature produces the vast bulk. The current warming cycle began 6000 years ago, before man burned any fossil fuels. Since we started doing this, the planet has warmed less then a degree (0.2 to 0.6). Most of this warming before 1938. From 1938 until 1979 we saw consistent cooling, despite the increased use of fuel.

In short, if man contributes at all, it is a very small portion.

A:The main man-made causes of the present climate change are:

1. Our burning of fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas). This releases age-old carbon dioxide that has been hidden away for millions of years. The carbon cycle is unable to remove this extra CO2 from the atmosphere and so this greenhouse gas is warming the planet.
2. Man has cut down millions of trees all over the planet and is still doing so. Trees act as a carbon sink. That is, they take carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, store the carbon and release the oxygen.
3. Methane from agriculture and melting tundra plays a role.
4. Cement manufacture plays a role.

Answer 4

Most significantly, they add greenhouse gases and aerosols to the atmosphere, which act mostly to warm (aerosols tend to cool) the atmosphere. The also change the landscape, changing the albedo of the land and the amount of solar energy that gets absorbed. Finally, changes in land cover such as deforestation and forest degradation add a lot of carbon dioxide to the air - it's about 1/5 of the total that humans have added.

Answer 5

It is true that climate change has been occurring naturally for millions of years. This includes desertification, ice ages and local variations.

However, the rapid rise in average global temperatures since the start of the Industrial Age can be attributed to human activities such as burning fossil fuels, manufacturing cement and deforestation.

Answer 6

Human beings may affect the environment by cutting down trees or deforestation. They may also affect the environment by activities such as industrialization.

Answer 7

Humans affect the weather through global warming. The warming of the ocean temperatures affects the hurricane patterns, and bring warmer climates in many parts of the world.

Answer 8

Humans impact the climate because of their SUV's putting around, and because of operating coal factories.
