What is the gradual increase in the temperature of Earth's atmosphere?
Global warming is the name given to the recent (over 200 years) gradual increase in the temperature of Earth's atmosphere.
What is the opposite of global warming?
The opposite of global warming is global cooling, which refers to a decrease in the Earth's average temperature over an extended period of time.
What substance is thought to be causing global warming?
Solar activity. Period.
Is a heat wave the same thing as global warming?
No. A heat wave is a period of unsually high temperatures in an area that usually lasts a few days or a few weeks. Heat waves are weather events that ocurr sometimes, with our without a change in climate Global warming is a long-term trend of overall increasing average global temperatures
How can earth be in the middle of an ice age when it is experiencing global warming?
Earth is currently in an interglacial period within an ice age cycle, which means that although global temperatures are warming, the planet as a whole is still experiencing the effects of the ongoing ice age. The term "ice age" refers to a period of time when large portions of the Earth's surface are covered in ice sheets, which is distinct from short-term fluctuations in temperature like global warming.
Who was regulating the greenhouse gases during the last global warming period when the ice age ended?
nobody
What has global warming done in the past?
Glaciers once covered most of Wisconsin and parts northward. The warming over this period certainly made Canada more livable.
What is the opposite of an ice age?
The opposite of an ice age would be a period of warming or a period of global warming. This would involve an increase in temperatures and a reduction in ice cover compared to what is typically found during an ice age.
Does global warming affect you?
It gets a lot of people hot under the collar. At some point the warming of the planet may become warmer then during the medieval warming period. This would cause sea levels to rise and weather patterns changes around the world. If this ever happens, yes global warming could someday affect you.
What is the temperature of the Cenozoic era?
Impossible to answer. This is a period of over 65 million years. It includes Ice Ages and global warming periods.
Why is global warming cold?
Global warming is not cold, as it (if it really exists) causes to temps around the world to increase. There was no doubt that the earth went through a period of warming, but now this seems to have reversed itself over the last 17 years. Many areas are experiencing some of the coldest winter temps in decades this year.
Doglobal warming make any impact?
Global warming can make an impact on the environment and the way people live. The global temperature raised 0.09 degrees in the 10 year period of 2002 through 2012. At the current rate it will take nearly 100 years for the global temperature to raise one degree.
