Why wasn't global warming a problem a thousand years ago?
1000 years ago there was no global warming, just the normal warming of the earth by the sun. Global warming started when we discovered fossil fuels and started burning them seriously, at the beginning of the Industrial Revolution, about 250 years ago. This burning released age-old carbon dioxide that had been hidden underground for 300 million years. Carbon dioxide is a greenhouse gas, so extra gas in the atmosphere captures more heat, and this is global warming.
Why do scientist think that greenland's climate was warm and moist 80 million years ago?
global warming from so many cows taking a dump
Is global warming anthropogenic?
Yes, global warming is anthropogenic, which means 'caused by human activity'. Humans began burning fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) at the start of the Industrial Revolution, 200 years ago. Over the years this has added billions of tonnes of carbon dioxide to the atmosphere, and is the main cause of global warming.
When did global warming catch your eye?
A week ago
How long has global warming hit Earth?
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.
How long as global warming been here?
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.
What is it like in the Winter in Flint Michigan?
It is cold and humid. Fair amount of snow, but not like it was 30 years ago. Global warming sucks.
Why wasn't global warming a problem thousands of years ago?
We only seriously began burning fossil fuels around 200 years ago, when the Industrial Revolution began. This releases carbon dioxide that has been hidden away for 300 million years, and this was the trigger for global warming.
How long ago was it when Man made Global Warming started?
In the industrial revolution (a period beginning in the 18th century) when man began to burn fossil fuels. About 250 years ago.
How long have pacific oysters been affected by global warming?
though there's not an exact time, they started noicing the effects about 4 years ago, so... 4 years!
How many times has earth had global warming?
20-30 years ago they called it global cooling. it has more to do with politics and liberal looneys ________________________________________________________________ Over the past 650K years we KNOW that the planet has had at least four similar patterns. These happen every 125K years, with this warming cycle starting about 10,000 years ago and the least warm of the five (four previous and this cycle). We know that the warming appears to be aligned with planetary movement. When all major planets are on the same side of the sun, we see a far less elliptical orbit of our planet. This coupled with the angle of our planet, in relationship to the sun and the solar activity itself makes determining what is normal for our planet very difficult. We can say though that we should be near the peak of the 125K year cycle in terms of warming.
Was there global warming 100 years ago?
We know know that global warming began in the Industrial Revolution, more than 200 years ago, when we began to burn fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) and release their age-old reserves of carbon dioxide. One hundred years ago scientists were just beginning to think something was happening. Svante Arrhenius (1859-1927), a Swedish scientist developed what is now know as the 'greenhouse gas law' in 1896.
