What are the reasons for the rapid rate of global warming?
Claudiaminta
Some of the causes for global warming are:
- Carbon dioxide emissions from fossil fuel burning power plants
- Carbon dioxide emmissions from burning gasoline for transportation
- Methane emissions from animals, agriculture such as rice paddies, and from Arctic seabeds
- Deforestation, especially tropical forests for wood, pulp, and farmland
- Increase in usage of chemical fertilizers on croplands

Does global warming affect the survival rate of polar bears?
Global Warming does affect the survival rate of Polar Bears because Global Warming Melts the ice.
What was the alarm bell for global warming?
The Not-So-Gradual increase in the rate of Global Glacial disintegration.
Are landslide to rapid changes?
Erosion and weathering typically work over long periods of time, causing change slowly. However, with global warming and loss of native plants in many areas, erosion and weathering are happening at a more rapid rate.
The depletion of this natural resource within many parts of South America could seriously increase the rate of global warming?
The depletion of Rainforests could increase rate of global warming. It is because these forests absorb carbon dioxide. In their presence this greenhouse gas would cause global warming.
How is global warming is related to photosynthesis?
Enzyme reaction rate increse with temperature. So photosynthetic rate increases
Is there miscalculation of global warming?
Yes. I heard scientists are now believing that the Earth is going through a period of cooling, and this should continue for 10 years. But then they said the models they made of global warming SHOULD start being ACCURATE by the time this ENDS. So right now, the models are wrong about global warming, but THEY WILL BE RIGHT AGAIN 10 years from now. :P (the models were always wrong I'm trying to hint at, and will always be)
When did you first learn of global warming?
A/The PBS tv program that visually depicted the rapid rate of removal of Glacial Ice, via Fresh Water Runoff through mostly the underneath of the [soon to be ex-] Glacial Masses.
Is there any ways that the world can stop global warming?
No there is not. Climate change/global warming or cooling is a natural phenomena. We may be able to reduce the rate of change by sensible use of energy.
How is global warming affecting the lives of leopard?
It is not. The past 10,000 years has shown warming, but the rate is slow enough for all animals to adapt.
Does an increased use of solar powered cars contribute to global warming?
No, this would have the opposite effect. It would reduce the rate of global warming. Most vehicles run on oil, the burning of which releases greenhouse gases and causes global warming. Solar powered cars have no harmful emissions.
Is the earth the only planet in your system experiencing global warming or climate change?
All planets experience climate change (warmer and cooler) due to fluctuations in sun output, changes in the planets distance to the sun and rate/tilt of rotation. global warming typically refers to human induced global warming and therefore only earth is influenced.
Why do scientists think that global warming is occurring?
Global warming is occurring for several reasons. Average temperatures have climbed 1.4 degrees Fahrenheit every year. The rate of warming is also increasing. Humans are also causing global warming, by pouring carbon dioxide into the atmosphere much faster than plants and oceans can absorb.
