Global warming refers to the average temperature increase of earth, not of just one nation. America itself has experienced episodic periods of warming 2013-1776 = 237 times since it was founded. These warming periods are colloquially known as "summers."
With the onset of the industrial revolution beginning in the 1700s, concentrations of atmospheric CO2 have been gradually on the rise. In the early decades the rise was very gradual, increasing from 280 to 290 parts per million over the course of 200 years. Note: This rate of increase was about ten times the natural rate of fluctuation during the preceding 20,000 years. The temperature didn't begin increasing very fast until the late 19th century. It has gone up and down a bit, with the last minor downswing ending in the early 1970s. Since then it has been steadily increasing, and fairly dramatically.
What else can I help you with?
Is scepticism of global warming normal?
It is normal to be at least a little skeptical of global warming. The biggest reason for this is that it is hard to appreciate what is often times a very slight increase in yearly temperature.
Name the gas released from landfills gas has 21 times more global warming potential than a molecule of CO2?
Methane is the gas released from landfills with 21 times more global warming potential than a molecule of CO2.
How much do Americans contribute to Global Warming?
20 times as much as a single person in India
How is climate modeling important to the global warming debate?
The government needs to know what the climate is at all times
Is flooding an effect of global warming?
Floods can certainly happen without global warming, and they have happened many times in recorded history, however, it is true that global warming does increase the number and severity of floods. Greater warmth leads to more water evaporating, and more water in the air means you can have larger amounts of rain, which can result in more flooding.
How can global warming cause colder winters?
Global Warming may or may not cause colder winters. Global warming refers to a climate change whereas colder winters are yearly weather patterns. On average the Climate and the World is warming up. It is a fact that the average temperatures are hotter than twenty or even ten years ago. So, whether you blame it on humans or natural cycles, global warming is happening. However, the colder winters we have had the past few years are possibly imperfections in global warming and may end soon. Also, some places are affected differently at different times. For example, the East had record snowfall this past winter, but other places had record heat this past winter. So yearly weather patterns can sometimes cause colder winters.
Are we in the 20th century or the 21st century because 20 times 100 2000 how does that make the 21st century?

How can penguins be saved?
Because global warming is the main reason that penguins are endangered, the best thing you can do to help this endangered species is to fight global warming. Another solution is not to buy penguin products, because believe it or not, this beautiful creature is still hunted in modern times.
Are cow farts lethal to global warming?
It's actually not the farts but the belching from the animals' mouths, from their ruminating stomach. Methane is a greenhouse gas more than twenty times more powerful than carbon dioxide. So our demand for hamburgers is increasing the chances of global warming, yes.
How does nitrogen affect global warming?
Nitrogen itself is not a greenhouse gas, but its compounds, particularly nitrous oxide (N₂O), are significant contributors to global warming. N₂O is produced from agricultural activities, fossil fuel combustion, and industrial processes, and it has a global warming potential approximately 298 times greater than CO₂ over a century. Additionally, nitrogen deposition from fertilizers can lead to increased emissions of other greenhouse gases, thereby indirectly exacerbating climate change. Reducing nitrogen emissions is crucial for mitigating its impact on global warming.
Is the weather getting worse in Northern Ireland?
It would appear that way. With global warming the good times seem to be getting better, and the bad times appear to be getting worse.
What is wrong with the economy?
our economy is going through rought times with not having enough workers and making polution and global warming happen faster than it should.
