What else can I help you with?
When you turn off a light how does it help global warming?
When you turn off a light you are helping slow global warming by using less electricity. Most electricity is generated by burning fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas). This burning releases carbon dioxide, which is causing global warming.
Is light energy contributing to global warming?
Yes, the heat for global warming comes initially from the sun.
What are some man-made causes of global warming?
In nearly everything that we do we are the cause of global warming such as driving a car, turning on a light, or even the smoke from factories.
How do you reduce global warming in interior?
Low-energy light bulbs are a guaranteed way to help the global warming issue, like fluorescent bulbs or LED bulbs.
Is global warming due to ice melting?
Ice melt is a consequence of global warming, not a cause of it. Though ice reflects light quite well, and as it melts, earth's albedo decreases, resulting in a feedback mechanism which further increases global warming.
How can human change their activities to reduce global warming?
To help cut down on global warming, you can change your light bulbs to energy saving ones, use the bus more rather than your car (even though it does cost more) or even cycle and walk to places, which would help a lot. Recycle things and encourage family and friends to also change their ways of helping the planet because a larger scale of people would make a bigger difference. Raise the awarness and do all you can. x
What could be an introduction for my speech on global warming?
A:Global warming is a very big issue in the world today. Global warming is when the earth's temperature rises. The cause of global warming is when greenhouse gases trap heat and light from the sun [in the atmosphere of the earth] causing the earth to heat up. Global warming affects animals and our environment, such as rise in sea levels which will cause extinction for more than a thousand species.
What radiation is absorbed by global warming?
Infra Red Light: Global warming is associated with Infra-Red rays that the earth emits to the atmosphere, where it is absorbed by the greenhouse gases of Carbon Dioxide and water vapor.
How can temperature (heat) he pollution?
global warming of course sillyWhat is global warming?Global warming is when the earth heats up (the temperature rises). It happens when greenhouse gases (carbon dioxide, water vapor, nitrous oxide, and methane) trap heat and light from the sun in the earth's atmosphere, which increases the temperature.thanks from raccebe and cydissa
What is the effect of CFLs on global warming?
Compact fluorescent lamps (CFLs) can help reduce global warming by lowering energy consumption compared to traditional incandescent bulbs. CFLs use less electricity to produce the same amount of light, resulting in lower greenhouse gas emissions from power plants. Switching to CFLs can contribute to reducing carbon dioxide emissions and combating global warming.
What actions do students do every day that can cause or increase global warming?
Forget to turn of light, waste water, not recycle, etc.
How can low energy light bulbs help stop global warming?
A good rule of thumb is that household appliances consume electricity and therefore contribute to global warming in proportion to the amount of heat they produce. Incandescent light globes work by heating a wire filament until it glows white hot, so they are obviously very heavy users of electricity. Replacing these by modern high-efficiency, low energy lights uses a fraction of the electricity and therefore contributes only a fraction of the carbon emissions that lead to global warming.
