Since then, the burning of fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) has put more and more of the greenhouse gas carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. The destruction of forests has also contributed. This is known as the enhanced, or runaway greenhouse effect.
The IPCC (the InterGovernmental Panel on Climate Change), set up by the United Nations, reports:
"Human activities, primarily the burning of fossil fuels and clearing of forests, have greatly intensified the natural greenhouse effect, causing global warming."
The main greenhouse gases that cause the greenhouse effect are:
The demand for a Western lifestyle from the world's 7 billion people is putting enormous pressure on governments to generate more and more electricity as well as consumer goods to satisfy the demand. This is a huge cause of the increase in greenhouse gases.
The Main Effects of Global Warming:It is difficult to predict the future, but in 2001 the IPCCissued a Report: Climate Change 2001: Working Group II: Impacts, Adaptation and Vulnerability (See the link below).Here are some of the suggested impacts:
There is evidence that mankind had accelerated the present cycle by adding 'greenhouse gasses' to the atmosphere.
The causes of global warming are deforestation and the combustion of fossil fuels. The consequences, apart from the rise in temperature, will be climate change. This will show itself in various ways. Scientists predict rising sea levels and more violent and more frequent weather events, like storms, tornadoes, floods and droughts.
Neither. Global warming has nothing to do with the hole in the ozone layer. The hole in the ozone layer has nothing to do with global warming.
The causes of the Somerset floods is global warming.
There is very little connection between global warming and the ozone layer.
There is very little connection between global warming and the ozone layer.
It causes Global Warming.
Ozone depletion causes global warming. This then causes global temperature to change.
Ozone depletion causes global warming. Global warming causes floods.
Pollution causes global warming. This global warming causes ozone depletion.
Pollution causes global warming. This global warming causes ozone depletion.
Neither is particularly useful.
Carbon dioxide is denoted by CO2. It causes global warming. Global warming then causes ozone depletion.
Global warming is heating of earth. It causes ozone depletion.
yes... when people lotier instead of reusing something it causes global warming
Neither. Global warming has nothing to do with the hole in the ozone layer. The hole in the ozone layer has nothing to do with global warming.
The causes of the Somerset floods is global warming.
There is very little connection between global warming and the ozone layer.
Global warming is the increase of greenhouse gases. It causes various problems including ozone depletion.
