Global warming is increased by adding further greenhouse gases to the atmosphere, particularly carbon dioxide and methane. Average global temperatures rose by around 0.75 degrees during the twentieth century. The Kyoto Protocol set a target of limiting further rises to no more than 2 degrees Celsius, but the International Energy Agency now says that this target is no longer achievable.

Is global warming increased by photosynthesis?
No.
Why has the temperatures increased?
Global Warming
What are the global problems of clearing forests and increased gas emissions from factories and motor vehicles?
The main global problems of clearing forests and increased gas emissions are global warming and acid rain. The clearing of forests means additional carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, causing global warming. Increased gas emissions also contribute to global warming and acid rain.
How does global warming affect the lithosphere?
Global Warming will effect climate change in the Atmosphere. Increased rainfall will increase erosion in the Lithosphere.
What natural disaster often occur in Venice?
Floods, and because of global warming they have increased.
Global warming is the result of increases in what?
Global warming is the result of increased levels of greenhouse gases (carbon dioxide and methane, largely) in the atmosphere.
What is called global warming?
Global warming is the slow, steady increase in global temperatures. It is caused by increased levels in carbon dioxide and other pollutants caused by things like factories, and transportation.
What causes the arctic global warming?
All (current) global warming is the result of an increased abundance of heat trapping gas. As the arctic regions warm, methane gas trapped in permafrost soil is being released, accelerating the global warming effect.
Does a hurricane cause global warming?
No, Hurricane Katrina caused flooding and terrible damage to humans and property, but it did not cause global warming. Global warming is caused among other things by man burning fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) and putting greenhouse gases into the atmosphere.
What name is given to warming of the earth due to increased levels of carbon dioxide?
The warming of the earth due to increased levels of carbon dioxide is called the Greenhouse effect. Global warming is a result of the greenhouse effect.
An increase in average temperatures around the planet is known as what?
Global Warming
Are landslides getting worse because of global warming?
Landslides happen because of increased rain softening the earth on the side of a mountain. They also occur where people have removed trees which anchored the earth. Removing trees has an effect on global warming, and one of the results of global warming is increased rainfall in some areas. So there is some connection.
