No. Meteors are space rocks that collide with the Earth. They have nothing at all to do with global warming.
Meteors come from outer space and crash into our atmosphere which burns them. That's what a shooting star is.
There is a natural greenhouse effect which has kept the earth warm since before life began. This is supported by the carbon and water cycles which move carbon and water in and out of the atmosphere. However, anthropogenic (man-made) global warming is not caused by nature. Man discovered fossil fuels and started seriously burning them 250 years ago, at the start of the Industrial Age. Coal, oil and natural gas have been very useful to power industry, transport and to generate electricity. The big problem is they release carbon dioxide (CO2) which has been buried underground for millions of years. This extra CO2 has overwhelmed the carbon cycle, which has not been able to move the extra out of the atmosphere. CO2 levels were about 270 ppm in 1750 but are now (June 2011) around 394 ppm (parts per million, or 0.0394%), a rise of 40%..
while meteor's are traveling through outer space there an orange color, while they land\crash it turns into a matalic color.
No i do not believe in global warming. for instance the polar ice caps are melting. wrong. the polar ice caps are expanding. and I'll tell you why. the ice caps have a core like the earth does. as of this moment in time the core is expanding causing the outer layers of the ice caps to break apart, not melt. that is also causing the polar bears to die or either move farther south into Canada and bordering countries. that is why you see grass in all of the news media pictures. it is not in the arctic. the only reason why you only hear one side of the case is because of the big media goers. you don't listen to a nobady you listen to a somebody, like al gore. this case of global warming is false.A:Yes, I believe in Global Warming. I believe that the InterGovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) is examining studies and data from all over the world, and I believe them when they say that global warming is happening. I believe them when they say it is extremely likely that global warming is being caused by man's burning of fossil fuels and cutting down the forests of the world. I believe the National Science Academies of so many countries who have spoken up and supported the work of the IPCC. I have studied the earth's natural carbon cycle and the natural greenhouse effect, which has kept the earth warm for millions of years. I understand that by burning fossil fuels we are releasing carbon dioxide (CO2), a greenhouse gas, that has been hidden away underground for millions of years. I believe the studies that show that CO2 has recently increased in the atmosphere from 270 ppm (parts per million) to the present 394 ppm, and that this is too much for the carbon cycle to cope with. I understand that this is what is causing the accelerated greenhouse effect that is causing global warming.
Global warming is the recent rise in the earth's temperature. The scientific consensus is that global warming is happening, and it is caused by man adding to the greenhouse gases in the atmosphere by deforestation and burning of fossil fuels. This is accepted by the National Science Academies of industrialized countries and by all national and international scientific groups.More simply:The earth is warming because man is burning coal and oil and other fossil fuels. We have also cut down the foreststhat used to absorb carbon dioxide. The extra greenhouse gases in the atmosphere capture more of the sun's heat and are causing global warming.
Meteors come from outer space and crash into our atmosphere which burns them. That's what a shooting star is.
Meteors are rocks from outer space that strike the Earth's atmosphere and are heated to incandescence (glowing heat) by friction. Most are completely vaporized, but some do fall to Earth.
the world will end because of meteors from outer space
We call it the greenhouse effect, which is natural, or the enhanced (or accelerated) greenhouse effect which is causing global warming.
well meteors are usually boiling like comets, however asteroids are usually a formation of gas and ice but they all form in outer space
The impact the greenhouse effect have on temperature is to increase the chance of global warming. If you burn too many woods, carbondioxide layer forms at the outer space of earth and that carbondioxide gas stops the radiation. It basically stops the heat from going to space, instead it will reflect the heat backagain to earth and that cause global warming because the earth gets warmer.
The major amount of human activities contribute to Antarctica's global warming. They add excessive amounts of greenhouse gases to the atmosphere. Green house gases pile up in the atmosphere and capture the heat that would, in a normal manner, escape into outer space.
When fossil fuel is burned, its carbon atoms largely wind up in atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) gas. CO2 blocks the ability of the earth to radiate heat in the form of infrared light, which normally penetrates the atmosphere and goes into outer space. Hence the planet retains more heat.Because the carbon in fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) has been hidden away for millions of years, releasing it now is increasing its levels in the atmosphere. More greenhouse gases means more heat is retained. This is causing global warming.
Greenhouse gases (GHG) allows sun radiation to penetrate and reach earth but are insulators to heat to move through into outer space. According GHG contribute to global warming. This global warming could lead to more snow melt down that lead to rise of water levels on earth and possible sinking of low level earth areas under water.
The power needed for compression, the construction of the canisters and rockets, and the transportation to the launch sites would createmore carbon dioxide than was removed.
Scientists have determined that a number of human activities are contributing to global warming by adding excessive amounts of greenhouse gases to the atmosphere. Greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide accummulate in the atmosphere and trap heat that normally would exit into outer space.Remedies of global warming arei) to reduce the consumption of fossil fuels such as coal and petroleumii) global warming global warning this slogan should be remembered by everypeople as a general awareness of our society.iii) forest areas should be increased all over the world.
Global warming is the direct result of the greenhouse effect. Without carbon dioxide in the atmosphere to act as a greenhouse gas, the world would be some 30 degrees colder than at present and life as we know it would be impossible. So the greenhouse effect is essential for human existence. It is the anthropogenic increase in greenhouse gases that is now causing concern. The present average global temperature is just about right for human comfort and civilisation. Greenhouse gas emissions are contributing to a rise in average global temperatures to a point that will have serious economic and social impacts on our lifestyle.
