- Man's burning of fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) which releases long-hidden carbon dioxide into the atmosphere.
- Man's deforestation. The great forests of the world used to absorb and store much of the carbon dioxide from the atmosphere.
The extra CO2 is turning the natural greenhouse effect into an accelerated greenhouse effect, causing global warming.

What are the two main causes that have caused planet Earth to be sick?
Air pollution and Water pollution Global warming is one of the main causes to make the Earth sick too.
Is global warming different from pollution?
Yes, pollution is the cause, and global warming is the result. Carbon dioxide pollution from the burning of fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas), as well as methane from bad agricultural practices, are the two main greenhouse gases in our atmosphere. They capture the heat rising from the surface of the earth. This causes global warming.
What does global warming do to the ozone layer?
The ozone hole has little if nothing to do with global warming. The ozone hole is the thinning of the ozone layer, particularly over the south pole, where the extreme cold causes extreme thinning. Global warming is the rising temperature of the earth's atmosphere caused by human deforestation and the burning of fossil fuels.
What are two things you can reduce?
pollution and Global Warming
What are the two main greenhouse gases causing global warming?
Carbon dioxide (CO2) and methane gas (CH4).Carbon Dioxide and Methane :)
What are two main reason that causes global warming?
the heat of the planet and man kind `realising fumes`

Global warming depletion of the ozone layer?
Global warming and depletion of ozone are two pretty close phenomenon. One causes other and vice versa.
How do power stations cause global warming?
Power stations contribute to global warming if they use fossil fuels (coal, oil or natural gas) to generate their electricity. Burning fossil fuels is recognised as one of the two main causes of global warming (the other is deforestation). Burning fossil fuels releases carbon dioxide, a powerful greenhouse gas which is accumulating in the atmosphere and causing global warming.

What is the another term for the greenhouse effect?
Global warming, but the two terms are not the same.The natural greenhouse effect keeps the planet warm.The enhanced greenhouse effect causes global warming.Global warming causes climate change.
Is greenhouse effect is the other name of global warming?
Strictly speaking there is no other name for global warming."The whole earth heating up" might be another name.Global warming is causing climate change, so many people think they are both the same, so they say:"Climate change is another name for global warming", but they are not really the same.
Why is it difficult to identify any single cause of climate change?
It is not difficult. The one single cause of climate change is global warming. There are several causes of global warming, but the two main causes are the burning of fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) and deforestation (cutting down trees which used to remove carbon dioxide (CO2) from the atmosphere). Both these mean more greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, and this is what is causing global warming which is causing climate change. Not difficult to identify at all!
What is two pieces of evidence that English is the global?
global warming?

Global warming is the rising temperature of the earth's atmosphere caused by human deforestation and the burning of fossil fuels.
How are fossil fuels and forrests linked to the greenhouse effect?
when you burn fossil fuels you get greenhouse gasses but that causes global warming so that causes two damages to the earth and enviorment.
Where does the word global warming come from?
'Global warming' is two words. It was coined by environmentalists to describe what they saw as a change in world temperatures.
