Many scientists believe that humans are part of the cause. Some have said its mostly caused by natural events (including the sun).

A recent poll among 3,146 earth scientists (climatologists) found that 90 percent believe global warming is real, while 82 percent agree that human activity been a significant factor in changing mean global temperatures.

Is greenhouse effect is the other name of global warming?

Strictly speaking there is no other name for global warming."The whole earth heating up" might be another name.Global warming is causing climate change, so many people think they are both the same, so they say:"Climate change is another name for global warming", but they are not really the same.


How many scientists agree that global warming is real?

What traps heat in the atmosphere, leading to the phenomenon of global warming?

Greenhouse gases, such as carbon dioxide and methane, trap heat in the Earth's atmosphere, causing global warming.


What is climate change global warming causing?

"Climate Change" and "Global Warming" are not the same, though related. Global Warming causes Climate Change. With Global Warming we understand the warming of the earth's global temperature. That warming has in turn an effect on the earth's global climate and on more localized climates (like the climate of England or Western US).


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.
