The sun provides the heat, but the cause of global warming is greenhouse gases that we have been building up in the atmosphere from the burning of fossil fuels. We also cut down the great forests of the world that used to remove carbon dioxide from the air.
We can prevent it by changing to renewable energy and replanting the forests.

Does the sun prevent global warming?
No, the sun does not prevent global warming. It provides the heat originally, and we add the extra greenhouse gases to capture more of it, causing global warming.
Is sun spot cycles or carbon dioxide in the atmosphere more important for global warming?
Carbon dioxide. The increase of carbon dioxide is the cause of global warming.
How does global warming cause volcanoes?
Global warming has no effect on volcanoes. It's the other way round. Volcanoes can increase global warming slightly if the emit carbon dioxide. And they can reduce global warming for a while if their dust and ash block out and reflect the sun's rays.
Is it global warming or the earth's orbit getting closer to the sun?
It is global warming. It is NOT the earth getting closer to the sun.
What illness does global warming cause?
absolutely nothing.... except if you're in the sun a lot... global warming just melts the ice caps and increase the water level by 40%
How do sun and gravity cause global warming?
The sun provides the heat. Greenhouse gases provide the method. Gravity has nothing to do with it.
How do glaciers on earth's surface cause global warming?
Glaciers do not cause global warming, in fact, their white and shiny surface (albedo) reflects a lot of the sun's radiation; this prevents some of the warming.When glaciers melt, they reveal dark rocks and soil underneath, which absorb much more of the sun's heat. This is called a positive feedback of global warming.
Why would global warming increase disease?
it can cause harmful sun rays which causes cancer disease
How does the sun effect water on earth?
By heating
What could be an introduction for my speech on global warming?
A:Global warming is a very big issue in the world today. Global warming is when the earth's temperature rises. The cause of global warming is when greenhouse gases trap heat and light from the sun [in the atmosphere of the earth] causing the earth to heat up. Global warming affects animals and our environment, such as rise in sea levels which will cause extinction for more than a thousand species.
Is global warming caused by sunspots?
Global warming is not generally caused by sunspots. There are studies though, that fewer sunspots can cause dimmer sun and can also mean more cosmic rays in the atmosphere.
Is light energy contributing to global warming?
Yes, the heat for global warming comes initially from the sun.
