Yes, we have rendered the carbon cycle unstable by releasing extra carbon. This has disturbed the natural greenhouse effect.
The carbon cycle moves carbon around between the atmosphere and the oceans, the soil, animals and vegetation. This has helped to hold the greenhouse effect in the atmosphere stable for millions of years, keeping the planet comfortably warm.
Since the Industrial Revolution man has been burning fossil fuels in industry, transport and in the generation of electricity. This releases extra carbon that has been out of circulation for millions of years. This extra carbon dioxide is contributing to the accelerated greenhouse effect which is causing global warming.
What else can I help you with?
What is carbon dioxide pollution causing?
global warming
The naturally occurring atmospheric gas that is blamed for causing global warming is?
Carbon dioxide has been charged and convicted of causing global warming.
How much has the air polluted because of global warming?
None. Global warming does not cause pollution. In fact, it is the other way round. Carbon dioxide pollution is causing global warming.
What element when oxidised causes global warming?
Carbon (C), when oxidised, becomes carbon dioxide (CO2), a powerful greenhouse gas causing global warming and climate change.
What is the increase of co2 causing?
The increase of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere is causing global warming and climate change.
Carbon dioxide in the air is causing the temperature to rise or fall?
To rise. This is global warming.
What nation is causing global warming?
Just about all nations are causing global warming, some more than others, of course. China and the US are the nations with the largest carbon footprints at the moment.
How does carbon dioxide interfear with are ozone?
Carbon dioxide can interfere with ozone.. It depletes the ozone by causing global warming.
What traps heat in the atmosphere, leading to the phenomenon of global warming?
Greenhouse gases, such as carbon dioxide and methane, trap heat in the Earth's atmosphere, causing global warming.
Too much of which gas in the atmosphere is causing global warming?
Too much carbon dioxide in the atmosphere is causing global warming. The natural carbon cycle is overwhelmed and can't move out all the extra gas. The extra gas is turning the natural greenhouse effect into an accelerated greenhouse effect, which is causing global warming.
What gases cause global warming and how?
Greenhouse gases (carbon dioxide and methane, mostly) cause global warming by increasing their levels in the atmosphere. This turns the benign greenhouse effect into an accelerated greenhouse effect which is causing global warming.
A rise in the Earth surface temperature due to an increase in the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere is called?
An enhanced (or accelerated) greenhouse effect which is causing global warming.
