Well it all starts with Greenhouse gases i.e. Carbon dioxide, Methane, water vapour etc. When the sunshine's, the ocean and the plants absorbs it, then it releases it. But, that was before. Now the earth is also releasing greenhouse gases by deforestation and burning fossil fuels. Greenhouse gases trap extra energy from the sun. So if the ocean and plants absorb 100 joules and then lets out 100 joules, because of the greenhouse gases only about 75 joules will actually be let out of the earths atmosphere. The remaining 25 joules will be trapped in the earths atmosphere.

How can you help prevent earth from getting warmer?

Why is winter solstice not the coldest time of year?
Earth is getting colder at that time. It does not immediately start getting warmer once the winter solstice is passed. It can be up to a month later, before it begins, so the month after a winter solstice is cold. For the summer, it is the same, in that the Earth keeps getting warmer for a time after the summer solstice, so the warmest temperatures are after the summer solstice, before the cooling process starts.
Is there evidence that the moon is getting warmer?
No
Is it true that increasing levels of the greenhouse gases could make the earth cooler?
No, increasing levels of greenhouse gases trap more of the sun's heat in the atmosphere, so the earth is getting warmer. There may be parts that get cooler for a time, for example, the British Isles, if the warm Gulf Stream stops, but, in general, the earth will continue to get warmer.
What is the causing of the ice caps melting?
Global warming, also known that the sun is melting them. sense we are being pulled toward the sun, the earth is getting warmer.
Is the Earth REALLY getting hotter?
Yes. There is no doubt at all. The earth, the atmosphere and the oceans are getting warmer and warmer.
How do you prevent the earth from getting warmer?
by not using much electrictiy
What is globalwarming and its introduction?
It's the Earth (all of it) getting warmer.
Is the earth getting warmer by itself?
The earth is getting warmer because of human activity, namely, the burning of fossil fuels over the past 200 years. This is putting additional carbon dioxide into the atmosphere where the greenhouse effect traps heat. More gas traps more heat and the earth is getting warmer.
Why is the ice that polar bears live on melting?
Because Earth is getting warmer.
Are people making the earth warmer?
No, the Earth is actually is getting colder and soon the next ice age will begin.

Why is it usually warmer during the day when the sky is clear and not cloudy?
because it blocks the sun from getting to earth's surface
Why is the earth's crust getting warmer?
Right now, I would say Global Warming. The Greenhouse Effect is the main reason for increasing temperatures on the Earth presently.
Is our planet's temperature getting cooler?
No. The earth's temperature is getting warmer. Just about every year there are new heat records broken all around the world.
What is the current trend of Earth's warmer temperatures?
The Earth is warmer than in previous natural cycles.
What happens to the climate the closer you getting the equator?
it gets a lot warmer.. because you are closer to the sun (due to the earth's round shape)
