Greenhouse gases in the atmosphere absorb infrared heat rising from the surface of the earth. By burning fossil fuel, we are releasing extra carbon dioxide into the air. This extra CO2 captures MORE heat. This is causing global warming.

Is helium a cause of global warming?

No, helium is not a cause of global warming. Helium is an inert gas and does not react with other substances in the atmosphere to contribute to the greenhouse effect.


What is the cause of the warming of the atmosphere?

The primary cause of the warming of the atmosphere is the increase in greenhouse gases, such as carbon dioxide, methane, and nitrous oxide, which trap heat in the Earth's atmosphere. Human activities, such as the burning of fossil fuels and deforestation, contribute significantly to the rise in greenhouse gas concentrations, leading to global warming.


What gases cause global warming and how?

Greenhouse gases (carbon dioxide and methane, mostly) cause global warming by increasing their levels in the atmosphere. This turns the benign greenhouse effect into an accelerated greenhouse effect which is causing global warming.

How could people cause global warming?

People can contribute to global warming by burning fossil fuels for energy, which releases greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. Deforestation, agriculture, and industrial processes also release greenhouse gases. As these gases trap heat in the atmosphere, they cause temperatures to rise and contribute to global warming.
