In terms of global warming and the enhanced greenhouse effect, data indicates earth has currently warmed about 0.8 degrees C (1.4° F) more over the past century than it would have without the addition of all that extra carbon dioxide.
Most climate scientists project additional temperature increase between 1.5 and 6 degrees C (2.7 to 10.8° F) over the coming century based on the current accumulation of CO2 and reasonable projections of continued emissions.
Solar variation does not appear to play any role in current global temperature increases and in fact, strictly on the basis of orbital cycles and the slight measured decrease in solar radiation, earth should now be slightly cooling--not warming rapidly.
The baseline for the temperature chart in the links is about 0.6° C lower than the current temperature, but we can estimate the current temperature would probably be about -0.2° C below the baseline were it not for the heat trapped by man's liberation of trillions of tons of CO2 (more than a trillion tons since 1975).

What temperature would it be without global warming?
About one degree cooler by the equator and five degrees cooler by the ice caps.
What are good words to describe global warming?
You can use the phrase "global warming" as an adjective without changing it. Examples would be:The global warming problem is a serious one.The global warming effects go all round the world.The global warming consequences are not good for the Pacific Island countries.
Would the end of global warming help or hurt the ozone?
The end of global warming would help the ozone. It is because the depletion of ozone is directly related to the global warming caused by greenhouse gases.
Is the ways to stop global warming working?
Natural global warming keeps the Earth at a livable temperature for most earthly life. Without a natural greenhouse effect, the temperature of the Earth would be about zero -0°C (-18oF) instead of its present 14°C (57°F) In this regard it is "effective". Enhance global warming due to man's influence is increasing the temperature beyond the natural levels, No standards or comparison for it being "effective" are available. The gases causing the enhanced green house impact are methan and carbon dioxide which are very powerful greenhouse gases.
What is the opposite of global warming?
The opposite would be global cooling.
What temperature would it be without global warming?
About one degree cooler by the equator and five degrees cooler by the ice caps.
Does global warming affect intertidal zone?
global warming would indeed affect the intertidal zone, it would affect the water levels, salinity and most likely temperature.
How does global warming affect global precipitation?
It would seem logical to assume that increases in temperature would cause increases in precipitation.

Would a hot summer prove that global warming is occurring?
No, high temperature is normal for summer.
Would it still snow in winter after the temperature rise due to global warming?
If the temperature is under 32 degrees F, yes.
How does globalization affect global warming?
It would seem logical to assume that increases in temperature would cause increases in precipitation.
What does 'Against man-made Global Warming' mean?
If you were asked to speak in a debate, "Against man-made Global Warming" you would be arguing that man is not causing Global Warming. You would have to argue that Global Warming is occurring naturally.
What are the effects of global warming on global winds?
Global winds are dependent largely on the large difference in temperature between polar and tropical regions. Global warming heats the poles faster than the tropics, thus reducing the temperature difference. Exactly how global winds would change as a result is hard to predict. One likely trend would be a weakening of jets streams in the temperate latitudes.
Would the UK benefit from global warming?
no.the global warming won't benefit anyone
Without Global Warming?
without global warming you cant live because without it you wouldn't have enough heat kept in the earth. he earth would be cold... but with greenhouse layers there's too much heat kept in or protected .. so this melts icecap's. etc.
If global warming affects the hole in the ozone layer what would happen?
If global warming affects the ozone hole, the UV will come in. This will lead to more global warming.
