The current warming trend we see now started about 10,000 years ago. This warming is approximately 11 degrees C over the entire span. This means glaciers have been melting for about 10,000 years and receding. This water must go somewhere, so we have been seeing oceans rise over the past several thousands of years.
Because carbon dioxide always follows temperature. As temperature goes up, we know that CO2 will also start to rise. This is the observed case. Over the past 10,000 years we have indeed seen a rise in the overall levels of CO2.
With an increase in temperatures and CO2, we see a corresponding increase in plant life.

What is the gradual warming trend over the earth called?
The gradual warming trend over the earth is called global warming. This is caused by our overuse of fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas), and by deforestation.
How did global warming get its name?
Global means all over the world, world wide. Scientists found that the average temperature all over the world was rising. The earth is getting warmer. So that's where "global warming" comes from.
Is both global environment and global warming is same?
Not quite, though they are very closely connected. Global warming is the warming of the earth. This is causing climate change, which is the many different changes in climate that are beginning to happen.
What does global warming do to the ozone layer?
The ozone hole has little if nothing to do with global warming. The ozone hole is the thinning of the ozone layer, particularly over the south pole, where the extreme cold causes extreme thinning. Global warming is the rising temperature of the earth's atmosphere caused by human deforestation and the burning of fossil fuels.
What do you wonder about global warming?
1. How long will it stays? 2. How can we be able to succeed over global warming? 3. What can we do to stop it totally?
How has earth change over the years or how will it change over the years?
global warming has changed the climate... in the future we will all die
How has the Earth's climate changed over time?
Earth's climate has changed due to ice ages, volcanic eruptions, asteroid impacts, the Sun's cycle, and global warming.
Where does global warming word came from?
Global comes from globe, meaning the earth. So global means "all over the earth". Warming comes from the adjective warm, meaning a bit hot, so warming means "getting warm". So Global Warming means that the whole earth is getting warm.
What is the gradual increase in the temperature of Earth's atmosphere?
Global warming is the name given to the recent (over 200 years) gradual increase in the temperature of Earth's atmosphere.
Where does the greenhouse effect occur?
Over the entire earth. This is why it is known as global warming.
What is the gradual warming trend over the earth called?
The gradual warming trend over the earth is called global warming. This is caused by our overuse of fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas), and by deforestation.
Does global warming affect the planet?
Yes, the word global means all over the earth. Global warming will warm the atmosphere all over the earth. Though it is caused mainly in several large countries, wind and weather will spread the heat all round.
What are the benefites of recycling over landfills?
The benefits of that will be that we are stopping the earth from being in global warming
What will global warming do to the earth and how will it effect the antarctic from way over here?
The global warming will melt all ice on Earth and the water level will rise for 50-100 meters, but that will happend in about 100 years
How did global warming get its name?
Global means all over the world, world wide. Scientists found that the average temperature all over the world was rising. The earth is getting warmer. So that's where "global warming" comes from.
Why is the process of global warming crucial to earth?
The process of global warming, that is the recent warming over the past 200 years since we began to seriously burn fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas), is notcrucial to earth. In fact it is extremely dangerous.The greenhouse effect, which has kept the earth warm enough for life for millions of years is crucial to earth. But the greenhouse effect is not the same as global warming.
What are Characteristics of global warming?
A rise in temperature of both the atmosphere and the surface of the earth. Global means all over the world; warming means heating up, rising in temperature.
