The current evidence seems to support that the effects of the industrial revolution have caused the natural process to speed up dramatically. There is no way to stop global warming, but we can find ways to slow its current process.

What was alarming about the 1990s in regards to global warming?
The first two reports (1990 and 1995) of the International Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) confirmed that the world is definitely warming and this warming is being caused by human activity.
Is global warming a real phenomenon caused by human activities or is it contrived?
Global warming is a real phenomenon. The vast majority of climate scientists and National Science bodies around the world agree that human activity is causing the planet to warm. Only a small number are unsure.
Do all scientists believe there is a link between human activity and global warming?
As with all issues, not ALL scientists believe in the link between human activity and global warming. However, the majority of scientists feel that the evidence for global warming is adequate to prove its existence. The majority of scientists who reaffirm the theory of global warming believe there is a link between climate and human activity. According to the Union of Concerned Scientists, "The Fourth Assessment Report of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) states: it is a greater than a 90 percent certainty that emissions of heat-trapping gases from human activities have caused "most of the observed increase in globally averaged temperatures since the mid-20th century." "
Which human activity is MOST likely to be a contributing factor in global warming?
A:Generating electricity from fossil fuels is the one human activity that contributes more than any other to increased atmospheric greenhouse gas levels and is therefore considered to be the main contributing factor in global warming. Thus, any human activity that creates an increased demand for electricity is effectively contributing to global warming. Next comes motor transport, because this requires us to burn oil, one of the main fossil fuels.
How many people think global warming is man made or natural?
It depends what people you ask. Climate scientists who have studied global warming and published peer-reviewed papers on it; 97% of them believe that it is caused by human activity. If you ask the general public, that is, people who have not really studied it, then various polls give answers like 60% or so.
Do all scientists agree that global warming is being caused by human activity?
No.
What is global warming about?
Global warming is caused by human activity. The planet is warming and this warming is changing the climate. Sea levels are rising and threaten many low-lying areas and cities permanently.
Why do some people disagree that global warming is caused by human activity?
The earth is doing it on its own people arnt the only ones.
What aspect of the global warming debate is there still a dispute remaining among scientists?
There is no dispute among reputable climate scientists. Just about all of them agree that global warming is happening, and it is being caused by human activity.
What human activity is NOT thought to be related to global warming?
walking and running
What was alarming about the 1990s in regards to global warming?
The first two reports (1990 and 1995) of the International Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) confirmed that the world is definitely warming and this warming is being caused by human activity.
When do greenhouse gases become a problem?
Some would say that greenhouse gases are already a problem, contributing to human-caused global warming. Others would say they are not yet a problem and may never be. That is one of the main points of dispute on the issue of whether there is a problem of global warming caused by human activity.
Is global warming a real phenomenon caused by human activities or is it contrived?
Global warming is a real phenomenon. The vast majority of climate scientists and National Science bodies around the world agree that human activity is causing the planet to warm. Only a small number are unsure.
Is global warming caused by humans or something you can control?
yes global warming is basisly caused by human we can control by using less electricity or less produce carbon dioxide!
Is global warming anthropogenic?
Yes, global warming is anthropogenic, which means 'caused by human activity'. Humans began burning fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) at the start of the Industrial Revolution, 200 years ago. Over the years this has added billions of tonnes of carbon dioxide to the atmosphere, and is the main cause of global warming.
Why is it said that global warming also involves politics?
Global warming is happening on its own, caused by human burning of fossil fuels and human deforestation. The politics involved are the timid responses of governments and their failures to do anything serious about stopping global warming.
What additional climate variables contribute to the picture of human-caused warming?
In addition to human caused variables that contribute to warming, there are several natural variables which also are major factors. These include solar activity, volcano activity and en nino activity.
