The carbon cycle, when we add extra carbon dioxide by the burning of fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) in industry, transport and the generation of electricity.

What greenhouse gas do rice plants give off that contributes to global warming?

Rice plants give off methane gas during their growth cycle. Methane is a potent greenhouse gas that contributes to global warming. Methane emissions from rice cultivation are a significant source of greenhouse gas emissions in agriculture.


What is the gradual increase in the temperature of Earth's atmosphere?

Global warming is the name given to the recent (over 200 years) gradual increase in the temperature of Earth's atmosphere.


How old is global warming?

The theory of global warming became popular in the early 70's. As for how old actual global warming is, is debatable. Some argue that global warming is a natural cycle the earth goes through every so many centuries.


Too much of which gas in the atmosphere is causing global warming?

Too much carbon dioxide in the atmosphere is causing global warming. The natural carbon cycle is overwhelmed and can't move out all the extra gas. The extra gas is turning the natural greenhouse effect into an accelerated greenhouse effect, which is causing global warming.


Does human respiration affect global warming?

Global warming is being caused by the extra carbon dioxide (CO2) released by the burning of fossil fuels, and by deforestation, which removed the forests that used to absorb CO2 from the atmosphere.Human respiration, where we breathe out CO2, is part of the natural carbon cycle. For millions of years the carbon cycle has been able to move CO2 in and out of the atmosphere. Of course there are now almost 7 billion people in the world, so we are having some effect. However, it is unlikely that human respiration alone would have much effect on global warming.

How is the nitrogen cycle related to global warming?

The nitrogen cycle is closely linked to global warming through the release of nitrous oxide (N2O), a potent greenhouse gas produced by agricultural practices, such as fertilization and manure management. When nitrogen fertilizers are applied, they can lead to increased nitrous oxide emissions from soil, which significantly contributes to the greenhouse effect. Additionally, disruptions in the nitrogen cycle can lead to eutrophication and further environmental degradation, exacerbating climate change impacts. Thus, managing nitrogen effectively is crucial for mitigating global warming.


What does the greenhouse effect have to do with the Carbon cycle and the Oxygen cycle?

Co2 is a greenhouse gas. It cause for global warming.

How does ironing your clothes cause global warming?

Ironing clothes doesn't cause global warming. But any use of fossil fuel generated electricity will add carbon dioxide to the greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. So ironing clothes contributes to global warming.


The biogeochemical cycle that most affects the earth's temperature is?

The carbon cycle has the most significant impact on Earth's temperature. The increasing concentration of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere from human activities, such as burning fossil fuels, contributes to the greenhouse effect and leads to global warming.
