Greenhouse gases are the number one cause of global warming. Actually, the greenhouse effect happens naturally but we humans are speeding up the process by burning fossil fuels and cutting down forests.

∙ 12y agoNatural cycles have some influence, but much of it is believed to be caused by human release of greenhouse gases (burning fossil fuels emitting carbon dioxide), compounded by land cover changes (deforestation).

∙ 6y agoWithout question the leading cause is the burning of fossil fuels in industry and transport since the beginning of the Industrial Revolution. The extra carbon dioxide added to the atmosphere, carbon that had been hidden underground for 300 million years, has been the load that the natural carbon cycle has been unable to deal with. This greenhouse gas, carbon dioxide, is the leading cause of global warming.

Can global warming cause mutation?
No, global warming will not cause mutations of any kind.
Does Global Warming cause the depletion of the Ozone Layer?
There is very little connection between global warming and the ozone layer.
Is global warming the main cause of the thinning of the ozone layer?
Global warming is a cause of the ozone depletion. However it is not the main cause of it.
Does global warming cause avalanches?
Global warming is unlikely to cause avalanches directly. They are usually caused by runoff from heavy rain and intense storms. Global warming is expected to cause more intense storms and could therefore be an indirect cause of avalanches.
What is the Global Warming Potential for ozone?
Ozone depletion can cause global warming. It is due to the plankton death.
Is global warming a cause or a effect of climate change?
Global warming is the cause of climate change.Climate change is the result of global warming.
Can global warming cause mutation?
No, global warming will not cause mutations of any kind.
Can global warming cause lake fires?
No global warming can not cause Lake fires .
How do polar bears cause global warming?
Polar bears do not cause global warming.
Does Global Warming cause the depletion of the Ozone Layer?
There is very little connection between global warming and the ozone layer.
Is ozone depletion the cause why there is global warming?
Yes, it is. It is responsible for global warming.
Can wildfires start global warming?
No, but global warming can be a probable cause of wildfires.
What is the cause of the warming of the atmosphere?
Global Warming. Due to global warming, ice in the polar region is melting
Do you not believe in global warming?
I do. Global warming exists. The main cause of global warming is the increase in greenhouse gases from burning of fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) in industry, transport and the generation of electricity, which releases carbon dioxide (CO2). That increase is reversible. The second leading cause is the increase in deforestation. That is also reversible.
How do firework displays cause global warming?
They don't cause global warming, but they contribute in a small way towards it.
What is the name that gives gases that trap heat and cause global warming?
Greenhouse gasses are the cause of Global Warming.
Is global warming the main cause of the thinning of the ozone layer?
Global warming is a cause of the ozone depletion. However it is not the main cause of it.
