What is the atmospheric warming created when gases such as carbon dioxide trap solar energy?
Greenhouse gases capture heat in the greenhouse effect. If the amount of gas increases then it causes global warming.
Is sun spot cycles or carbon dioxide in the atmosphere more important for global warming?
Carbon dioxide. The increase of carbon dioxide is the cause of global warming.
Concept of math in global warming?
Global warming has a lot of math involved. Calculating the carbon footprints is one of them.
Which gas is used as reference to calculate global warming potential?
Carbon Dioxide (CO2) is given a Global Warming Potential measure of 1.There are many green house gases that cause global warming but the gas used as reference to calculate global warming potential is carbon dioxide (Co2)
An increase in the atmospheric levels of carbon dioxide is the biggest contributor to What?
An increase in the atmospheric levels of carbon dioxide is the biggest contributor to global warming.
How much has the area of Antarctica decreased since global warming started?
Way, way too much! There is no appreciable / acceptable Answer except "Let Us Hope That Carbon Capture and Storage will Win-The-Day!"
How do scientists think that increased carbon dioxide levels contribute to global warming?
Carbon dioxide is a greenhouse gas. Greenhouse gases capture and retain the sun's heat. Increased carbon dioxide levels mean that more and more of this heat is retained. This is warming the earth and the atmosphere all round the world - global warming.
What is the atmospheric warming created when gases such as carbon dioxide trap solar energy?
Greenhouse gases capture heat in the greenhouse effect. If the amount of gas increases then it causes global warming.
What are the advantages of carbon capture?
• It doesn't release greenhouse gases. • It doesn't contribute to global warming. • Can cut carbon dioxide emissions by over 25% over the next century
Does the sun prevent global warming?
No, the sun does not prevent global warming. It provides the heat originally, and we add the extra greenhouse gases to capture more of it, causing global warming.
Is sun spot cycles or carbon dioxide in the atmosphere more important for global warming?
Carbon dioxide. The increase of carbon dioxide is the cause of global warming.
Is global warming a pollution?
Global warming in itself isn't pollution - global warming is the gradual warming of the earth. However, global warming was caused by carbon dioxide pollution in the atmosphere, but global warming in itself isn't a pollution. yes it is a pollution
What carbon compound contributes to global warming?
Carbon dioxide.
How does global warming cause long-term changes in the global temperature?
Global warming is long term changes - increases - in the global temperature.The increases in the global temperature are being caused by the accelerated greenhouse effect. That is, more greenhouse gases in the atmosphere (methane, but largely carbon dioxide from our burning of fossil fuels like coal, oil and gas) capture more of the sun's heat and warm the atmosphere. This extra warming is global warming.
How is global warming affecting temperatures?
Global warming occurs when the greenhouse gases in the atmosphere capture the sun's heat reflected off the earth. More and more carbon dioxide retains more and more heat. This is increasing the temperature of the world.
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.
Concept of math in global warming?
Global warming has a lot of math involved. Calculating the carbon footprints is one of them.
