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.
What is the surface shapes of the earth?
Mother nature is our big help of shaping the earth. With Earth quakes and hurricanes. Also meteors have hit earth causing changes also.And global warming plays a role in all of this also.
What areas are to be hardest hit economically as a result of global warming?
Those that are especially vulnerable.
What areas of Alaska are affected by global warming?
Alaska will be hit hardest by global warming of all the states as most of this barren state is ice will melt causing major flooding to itself and then the world.
Is global warming going to hit New Zealand?
yes i kind of thought the term "global" would have given that one away. Obviously not
What factors influence the rate of warming in a particular spot on earth's surface?
This is caused by the earth's tilt. Vertical rays of the sun hit the earth at points between 23.5 degrees of the equator. Where ever the radiation is perpendicular to the surface, radiation is being maximized, and therefore must be transported elsewhere around the earth to account for this uneven heating.
What is causing global arming?
The impacts of global warming will hit rivers and river communities first and worst, in the form of increased droughts, floods, and waterborne diseases.
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.
Caused by the uneven heating of earth and its atmosphere?
Pole. (The north and south poles. They get less heat than the equator because the sun's rays hit the equator more directly where they hit the poles at an angle and have to be spread over a larger area.)
When did the global warming hit the arctic?
It was today at 1:05 pm, it was devastating for the animals that lived there. by animals i mean eskimos.
How was the Triassic period ended?
The Devonian time period ended because of a mass extinction of several species of fish, amphibians and other types of reptiles.
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.
