to prevent it you should turn off appliances when not in use, stop buringin fossil fuels and nuclear power to stop 40% of all carbon fuel usage.

Why do some scientist think that gobal warming would increase the strength of an hurricanes?
Hurricanes get their energy from warm ocean water. Warmer water usually means more potential for hurricanes to form and gain strength. Warmer water resulting from global warming could therefore lead to stronger hurricanes. Some have suggested, however, that changes to other factors such as wind shear could negate the effects of warmer oceans on hurricanes.
What is the difference between regional climate and global climate?
regional: only in your region (like where you live) Global: all around the world.
What factors can cause earths climate to change?
Several things cause it to change, and indeed it is always in a state of flux. Most notably is its orbital variations through very long periods (tens of thousands of years), which has caused past ice ages. Second would be variations in solar output from the sun, such as sun spots. Finally, dominating changes recently is the increase in greenhouse gases emitted by humans, warming the earth and causing other changes within the system. Many things,a big one is the radiation from the sun. Also the earth's rotation, heat from the earth, the earth's tilting cycle and its rotation around the sun ( which all branch off from the first part). The one that is most understood though is that the earth goes through a natural heating up and cooling down cycle which has become more rapid because of the large amount of CO2 in the athmosphere which shouldn't be there.
How does permafrost make it difficult for plants to grow?
In geology, permafrost or permafrost soil is soil at or below the freezing point of water (0 °C or 32 °F) for two or more years. Ice is not always present, as may be in the case of nonporous bedrock, but it frequently occurs and it may be in amounts exceeding the potential hydraulic saturation of the ground material.
What are some potential positive consequences of global warming?
There are very few real advantages to global warming because global warming is causing climate change.More rain in some places might seem to be a benefit, but other places will experience drought and famine.Increased warmth and increased carbon dioxide are thought by some to encourage plant growth. Studies are showing that this is usually not the case. Farmers will have to change to different crops to deal with increased temperatures.Warmer climates may have some benefits for cold countries, but the warmth is also melting frozen tundra, releasing methane, and increasing the rate of global warming.Warmer climates are not beneficial for equatorial countries that are already warm.There is no advantage in sea level rise, especially to the world's great cities built on low-lying coasts.Ocean acidification is another disadvantage to increased atmospheric CO2.Every small advantage that might result tends to be counterbalanced by much more severe disadvantages elsewhere.A: Some known benefits:Increased agricultural productivity & land (more rain, warmth & CO2)Longer growing seasons for plant life.Greening of some of the Earth's vast frozen land massesIncreased wildlife habitat, provided migratory pathways to new locations can be found and populations can take hold.More bountiful food for animal life (or less in areas subject to desertification).Less net global energy heating requirement for humans (offset by increased need for cooling--air conditioning tends to be more expensive than heating).Less cold related severe weather and death (offset by increases in heat stroke--far more people tend to die from heat than cold each year).More pleasant temperatures for economic activity and outdoor activity/recreation.If we are very lucky and warm enough, we may even avert the next ice age. These occur like clockwork and wipe out substantial animal and plant life on the planet.Animals and birds may not need to migrate so far for water (and food as a consequence of the extra water).Tropical Rain forests- Global warming could see these increase.The benefits do not even come close to the drawbacks though.Climate scientists are realistic about what their modelling can achieve. They know they can predict global warming with some accuracy, and they know that they can predict some of the likely consequences of global warming, but most of the predicted outcomes are expected to be negative, including loss of biodiversity, widespread economic and social hardship, and risk to health. However, among the losers there are likely to be some winners. For example, scientific predictions are for more prolonged droughts in some areas and for more frequent severe flooding in others, but there may well be other areas that benefit by more optimum rainfall.
Does global warming effect the land or the ocean more?
The ocean is in more danger than the land is as ocean currents control most of the land temperatures, so the ocean is effecting gobal warming more.
What former vice president is warning about gobal warming?
Al Gore.
What occurs when earth comes out of a ice age?
gobal warming. -- ---- ---- --- APEX
Are zebras affected by gobal warming?
all animals and living organisms are affected by global warming, including zebras..
Environmental impacts from carbon dioxide emission?
greenhouse effect ~> gobal warming
Does tourism cause global warming?
well, considering that Gobal warming isn't real and El Gore himself admitted that, i'd say no. it doesnt cause "Global Warming"
Does the Sahara desert has gobal warning?
since its called GLOBAL warming, im guessing its all around the globe
When did they first start up with the gobal warming thing?
In the late 1980's, when global cooling didn't pan out.
What chemicals contribute the most the gobal warming?
There are a number of chemicals that contribute the most to the global warming. Carbon dioxide and methane are the top contributor to depletion on the ozone layer.
How did penguins become endangered?
Penguins are endangered by Global Warming, the warmth from the sun due to CO2 is causing it to be hot. The polar ice caps are melting, therefore the land for the penguins is becoming smaller and smaller each day. Penguins will be extinct before long due to our fault.
Why is Gobal warming important to us?
it will affect the sea level and make the iceberg melt, which will swallow some islands near the ocean. and the temperature will not be proper anymore for some animals' life.
