When will global warming take effect?

Answer 1

It is already happening right now. But if we dont stop it now, then it will be unstoppable and get very chaotic.

it depends on if we keep destroying our planet, if we carried on as we are doing so, possible in around 1000 years?

Global warming happens over time according to scientists The atmosphere has been gradually getting warmer over a number of years and will continue to do so.

Answer 2

When we help stop it.

Particulate from coal fired power plants and volcanic eruptions has a slightly cooling effect on the climate. This particulate typically settles out in one to three years. CO2, on the other hand, tends to linger on average closer to a thousand years before it is reabsorbed.

Think of the additional CO2 as adding a blanket on a cold night. You are not instantly warmer with the new blanket, it takes time for your body heat to warm up the bedding. The same holds true for our atmosphere. We expect the climate to continue to change for a long time to come as a result of what we have already done--much less what we will continue to do. We are currently adding more blanket (heat trapping carbon dioxide) all the time.

CO2 levels are almost 400 parts per million now, and they will exceed 500 ppm by 2050 at the present rate, which is less than 40 years from now. If we can significantly reduce our consumption of fossil fuels by 2050, anthropogenic (human induced) climate effects should level off by 3050. If we continue burning coal and oil at the same rate, we should expect climate change to reverberate through ensuing millenia.

Answer 3

Statistics show an increase in Global Temperatures beginning in the early 20th Century around the year 1920 and a steep increase in the 1990's.

Though there have already been visible affects of Global Warming, the Earth has been abnormally warming for decades now.

Answer 5

global warming already started

now!

it is already happening

Its already here and to some degree may have been here for thousands of years.

Answer 6

The world will not end from global warming. The earth can survive much hotter temperatures than this. Human and animal life, however, are in danger if global warming continues.
