The earth is warming up so quickly because human activity is adding large quantities of greenhouse gases to the atmosphere by burning fossil fuels, such as coal, oil and natural gas, manufacturing cement and deforestation. As a result of these activities, the level of atmospheric carbon dioxide has increased by around 35 per cent, from its long-term average of 260-280 parts per million (ppm), to around 380 ppm. Green house gases such as carbon dioxide and methane, which we also produce, retain atmospheric heat, so increased levels of these gases contribute to global warming.

The earth is warming up very fast threatning both plant and animal lifewhat is this warming up called?
global warming
How will glaciers and icebergs be affected by global warming?
In global warming basically the carbon dioxide is trapped in the earth which causes the Earth to heat up so the glaciers and ice bergs start to melt.
Is the warming of the sea caused by global warming?
The warming of the sea is part of global warming. If the earth warms up, then the oceans warm up too (but a little more slowly).
Does global Warming make holes in the earth's atmosphere?
No, you are probably thinking of holes in the ozone layer. Global warming is the heating up of the atmosphere and the earth by the human activities of deforestation and the burning of fossil fuels.
Would the earth be warming up as quickly if the car had not been invented?
The earth would not be warming so fast.A 2010 report from the Asian Development Bank found that transportation was the "fastest growing major contributor to global climate change, accounting for 23% of energy-related carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions."The invention of the internal combustion engine, which burns petrol, diesel and other forms of fossil fuel oil, has added vast amounts of greenhouse gases to the atmosphere.
Is Global Warming a cycle?
No, it is not a cycle. Natural warmings and coolings happen over thousands of years. The earth has never warmed up so quickly before.

Does Earth warm up?
scientests have been finding out that the earth is warming up by methane

The warming of the sea is part of global warming. If the earth warms up, then the oceans warm up too (but a little more slowly).
What does globe warming mean?
Global warming is the effect of increasing Carbo Dioxide (CO2) levels in the earth's atmosphere which trap the heat thus causing the earth to gradually warm up.
Does global Warming make holes in the earth's atmosphere?
No, you are probably thinking of holes in the ozone layer. Global warming is the heating up of the atmosphere and the earth by the human activities of deforestation and the burning of fossil fuels.
What happens if the Earth's rotation speeds up?
The earths temperature would cool down. So, you see, The earth is attempting to reverse the effects of global warming. God wins again. Next question.
What could be an introduction for my speech on global warming?
A:Global warming is a very big issue in the world today. Global warming is when the earth's temperature rises. The cause of global warming is when greenhouse gases trap heat and light from the sun [in the atmosphere of the earth] causing the earth to heat up. Global warming affects animals and our environment, such as rise in sea levels which will cause extinction for more than a thousand species.

What is the easiest way to speed up the destruction of Earth?
Global Warming or a World War 3
What evidence is there that the earth actually is warming up?
i dont know but i am sweating in snow all the time.
