Best Answer

If we stopped burning fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) tomorrow, scientists believe there is enough carbon dioxide already in the atmosphere for warming to continue for many years. It may be hundreds of years before carbon dioxide in the atmosphere reduces to its pre-Industrial Revolution levels (280 ppm (parts per million) instead of the present 400 ppm).

There are quite a few people in the world who believe that Global Warming is indeed a legitimate problem. These people have followed scientific evidence. Another answer: There are also many who believe it isn't, including many top scientists. Example: The is no correlation of temps and co2 in the atmosphere, as claimed by alarmists. There has been no warming at all since the late 90's.


Do evolutionists believe in global warming?

Not necessarily, as belief in evolution and belief in global warming don't really have anything to do with each other.

Yes. Scientists believe that carbon dioxide in the atmosphere started increasing at the beginning of the Industrial Revolution with the burning of fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) in industry, transport and later the generation of electricity.


Did people believe in global warming in 1940?

No. A few scientist knew that carbon dioxide in the atmosphere was causing a greenhouse effect, bit it wasn't till the 1970s that scientists began to worry. It wasn't till sophisticated computer modelling in the 1990s confirmed global warming and a consensus developed.
