No, the scientific consensus overwhelmingly supports the claim that CO2 does cause global warming.

Global warming doesnt exist?

Global warming does exist. Evidence supporting its existence is extensive. For one, based on geological data and evidence, the Earth is supposed to be in a period of cooling, but instead our temperatures have risen 0.74ºC (from 1906-2006). Our temperatures have only continued to rise, and are projected to rise anywhere between 1.8 to 4.6ºC in the next 100 years. This is an exponential increase, as from the time of the last ice age to now, the Earth's mean surface temperature only increased 3.5ºC. Other evidence is the increase in the number of carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide, and halocarbons in the atmosphere, which are all molecules which hold heat and thus upset the temperature equilibrium. Since pre-industrial times, carbon dioxide has increased in the atmosphere by 35%. Though not the strongest molecule, it is the most abundant (measured in parts per million). The more carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, the more heat is able to be held, thus raising the equilibrium. Based on samples of air from 650,000 years ago (taken from ice cores), carbon dioxide in the atmosphere is much higher. Our rising sea levels indicate global warming, not merely due to melting ice caps, but also because when water warms, the molecules expand. A more accurate term than global warming is global climate change, as not all areas will warm, and climate change will not be uniform. People who say global climate change/warming does not exist do not have concrete scientific facts to dismantle the basic facts: that greenhouse gases are increasing, and are directly correlated with the raise in the temperature in many places of the world.


How does religion affect the environment?

Religion can influence environmental attitudes and behaviors by promoting stewardship of the Earth and advocating for sustainable practices. Some religious teachings emphasize the importance of caring for the environment as part of a moral duty to future generations. However, conflicts can arise when religious beliefs clash with scientific understandings of environmental issues, potentially hindering environmental progress.


What are the Energy sources which pollute the environment?

Coal and Oil create pollutants which affect the environment. Nuclear doesnt directly affect the environment, it creates waste which doesnt degrade meaning toxic will needed to be stored. Some people may think wind turbines aside from giving non polluting energy give 'eye pollution' because they dont look pretty. Neither does a nuclear power plant. So lets be honest its worth it.


Why does earth have a water supply and the moon doesnt?

Earth has a significant amount of water due to its unique position in the solar system that allowed it to accumulate water during its formation. The moon, being smaller and lacking a dense atmosphere, lost any water it may have had early in its history.


How would you determine the density of 10 grams of granular zinc?

To determine the density of 10 grams of granular zinc, you would divide the mass (10g) by the volume. First, measure the volume of the zinc using a graduated cylinder. Then, divide the mass by the volume to calculate the density (Density = Mass/Volume).
