We know now that global warming started in the Industrial Revolution, more than 200 years ago, when we discovered and started to burn fossil fuels, which released carbon dioxide (CO2). This is one of the greenhouse gases that are causing global warming.

Why is the hole in the ozone layer an unlikely cause of global warming?

Ozone hole allows the UV rays to enter the earth which get hit by the planktons in the sea. They die as they come in contact with the radiations and since they are the ones reducing the global warming, the absence of these increases the global warming.

Did global warming affect the typhoon in the Philippines?

The 2013 typhoon that hit the Philippines caused extreme damage. One of the predicted results of global warming is the increased violence of storms. Extra heat in the atmosphere is extra energy, which has to be expended somewhere.

What would happen with global warming if earth is hit by an asteroid?

Depending on the size of the asteroid and the speed of its collision, millions of tons of dust will explode into the atmosphere and be carried all round the world, blotting out the sun. Without the sun's heat the atmosphere would cool and global warming would slow. If the dust cloud remains for years many species will die. This is one of the theories for the disappearance of the dinosaurs.

Does the Chevy volt have a positive or negative affect on global warming?

The Chevy Volt has a very positive effect on global warming. It runs on electricity and stops the carbon dioxide from fossil fuels from going into the air. Also the Volt's energy source gains energy every time you hit the brakes so it some cases it is saving more energy then it is using.


How a vibrating co2 molecule can lead to global warming?

When a CO2 molecule absorbs infrared radiation, it begins to vibrate. This vibration leads to an increase in kinetic energy, causing the molecule to collide with nearby air molecules and transfer this energy as heat. As more CO2 molecules vibrate and heat up, they contribute to the greenhouse effect by trapping heat in the Earth's atmosphere, leading to global warming.
