1: Global warming is happening at this moment. There is no possible way to stop it, even if every nation took maximum effort right now. What we can hope for is that we can slow it down a little.
2: It's not as hopeless as that. It depends on what we do. If we keep going and don't change anything, we would be having serious effects in about a few hundred years. Things we can do to prevent that, is really increasing the growth rate of trees would-over time-significantly decrease Co2 pollution. During the time we save, we'll have more time to switch to a newer, cleaner, renewable energy source. And in 300-600 years, we'll have a very green planet.
If we really increase the growth rate of trees-over time-it could significantly decrease Co2 pollution. Also, everybody doing little things that reduce emissions. During the time we save, we'll have more time to switch to a newer, cleaner, renewable energy source, and alternates for things like cars and dryers. So to answer your question, if we do this, it'll take at least 100 years to start making a difference, and 300-500 to actually start reducing Co2. Keep your spirits up, it's not hopeless.
Well, it's we who can stop global warming. We are the people who started it. We can help by:
There are many more ways you can help!! it will take a long time
It depends who you ask. Climate takes years to change, unlike the weather which can change several times a day.
Dozens of studies have been carried out, most come to entirely different conclusions depending on who carried out the studies.
Some conclude big effects are already happening others deny this and conclude it is a natural cycle and entirely in keeping with the normal course of events.
We'll only know when it's too late, i.e., in about six years.
It is already very serious, many people believe that we are already well past the tipping point of being able to do anything to prevent it.
1. How long will it stays? 2. How can we be able to succeed over global warming? 3. What can we do to stop it totally?
The American Policy Center (APC) say this because they are global warming skeptics. They believe that global warming is not happening.
No because the Kyoto protocol assumes human beings are responsible for global warming. This is unlikely to be the case because the earth has gone through numerous cycles of warming and cooling going back long before human beings were a significant presence on this planet. Ever heard of the Ice Ages? There were several. Global warming and cooling are a function of solar activity and people can't control the sun.
Global Warming, that is the warming of the earth since the beginning of the Industrial Age, began when man discovered fossil fuels some 250 years ago. There were commercial coal mines in the US state of Virginia in 1740.
The earth has a long history of warming and cooling. Ever heard of the Ice Ages? Other planets are currently showing evidence of warming.
Global warming refers to the long term increase of the earths temperature. It is directly linked to climate change but is not an interchangeable term for it.

Global warming is long term changes - increases - in the global temperature.The increases in the global temperature are being caused by the accelerated greenhouse effect. That is, more greenhouse gases in the atmosphere (methane, but largely carbon dioxide from our burning of fossil fuels like coal, oil and gas) capture more of the sun's heat and warm the atmosphere. This extra warming is global warming.
If global warming continues, not that long from now.

Implementing sustainable water management practices such as rainwater harvesting, building infrastructure for water storage and irrigation, promoting drought-resistant crops, and providing education and support to farmers on sustainable agricultural practices can help mitigate the impact of drought in Africa in the long term. Additionally, addressing issues of deforestation and climate change can also contribute to long-term solutions for drought.
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.
Since the middle of the 20th Century and earlier.
Global Warming, that is the warming of the earth since the beginning of the Industrial Age, began when man discovered fossil fuels some 250 years ago. There were commercial coal mines in the US state of Virginia in 1740.
