What role do cities play in global warming?
Cities and the people in them play a large role in global warming. Heating, cooling and transport in the cities use massive amounts of fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas). When fossil fuel is burnt it releases carbon dioxide, one of the greenhouse gases that are causing global warming.
Do rain forests affect global warming?
Yes, rain forests play a crucial role in mitigating global warming. They act as carbon sinks, absorbing CO2 from the atmosphere through photosynthesis. Deforestation and degradation of rain forests contribute to global warming by releasing stored carbon and reducing the forest's ability to absorb CO2.
How do plants increase global warming?
Plants don't increase global warming. In fact, they do the opposite.Plants, trees and all vegetation reduce the effect of global warming by removing from the atmosphere these gases like carbon dioxide and storing the carbon in their trunks and branches. They help to reduce global warming.
Is the acceleration of global warming due to changes in the reflection and absorption of sunlight?
The albedo effect, characterised by changes in the reflection and absorption of sunlight, does play a small role in global warming, but requires global warming to be underway before it can play that part. As the world warms, ice caps and sea ice melt. Ice reflects much of the sun's energy back into space, but when the ice disappears the open sea and land absorb much of the sun's energy, becoming warmer. This accelerates global warming.
How con you prevent the role of combustion on global warming?
By spreading water
How much of a role in global warming do humans play?
This depends on your point of view. If the Oregon Report is correct (which I believe it is) there is no such thing as global warming, On the other hand, most climate scientists say that recent global warming and climate change are caused substantially by human activities, such as burning fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas), manufacturing cement and deforestation.
How does Plate Tectonics contribute to or cause global warming rather than humankind?
Plate tectonics does not directly contribute to global warming. The primary driver of current global warming is human activities, particularly the burning of fossil fuels which releases greenhouse gases into the atmosphere, trapping heat. Plate tectonics do play a role in releasing volcanic gases, but their impact on global warming is minimal compared to human activities.
Do solar flares cause global warming?
Solar flares do not cause global warming. Global warming is primarily driven by human activities, such as burning fossil fuels and deforestation, which increase the concentration of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. Solar flares are intense bursts of radiation from the sun that can affect radio communications and satellite technology, but they do not play a significant role in Earth's climate change.
Who should play a role in controlling the factors that cause global warming?
Everyone can reduce release of Greenhouse Gases. Mostly, cut down on how much energy you use.
How do endangered species affect global warming?
Endangered species play a role in mitigating global warming through natural processes. For example, forests inhabited by endangered species absorb carbon dioxide, reducing greenhouse gas emissions. Additionally, certain endangered species may help maintain the balance of ecosystems, which in turn support carbon sequestration. Preserving endangered species is crucial in sustaining these processes and combating global warming.
Which gas traps heat and helps cause global warming?
Carbon dioxide (CO2) is the gas that traps heat in the atmosphere and contributes to global warming. Other greenhouse gases like methane (CH4) and nitrous oxide (N2O) also play a role in trapping heat in the atmosphere.
How can a Venus flytrap prevent global warming?
A Venus flytrap, a small plant that lives on insects, will not be able to prevent global warming. It will remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, but only a small amount. A huge forest of giant Venus flytraps would be more effective, but unlikely.
