What else can I help you with?
What is the name that gives gases that trap heat and cause global warming?
Greenhouse gasses are the cause of Global Warming.
How do polar bears cause global warming?
Polar bears do not cause global warming. In fact, polar bears are affected by global warming due to the shrinking of their sea ice habitat. The loss of sea ice reduces their hunting grounds and threatens their survival.
Does a hurricane cause global warming?
No, Hurricane Katrina caused flooding and terrible damage to humans and property, but it did not cause global warming. Global warming is caused among other things by man burning fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) and putting greenhouse gases into the atmosphere.
Does the scientific consensus support the claim that CO2 does not cause global warming?
No, the scientific consensus overwhelmingly supports the claim that CO2 does cause global warming.
Is global warming causing cancer?
No, there are no suggestions that global warming will cause cancer. The depletion of the ozone layer, which is still being caused by CFCs from last century does cause cancer. Skin cancers (basal and squamous cell carcinomas) and melanomas are caused by the dangerous ultra-violet radiation which a weakened ozone layer lets through.
What gasses cause global warming?
Methane, carbon dioxide, CFCs (chlorofluorocarbons).
Was global warming caused by CFCs and a hole in the ozone layers?
Global warming was not originally caused by CFC's. However they are also a reason behind it.
Ozone depletion is caused by global warming?
No, ozone depletion was caused by CFCs in the atmosphere.
What chemicals is implicated in both global warming and ozone depletion?
Chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) are chemicals that are implicated in both global warming and ozone depletion. When released into the atmosphere, CFCs can break down ozone molecules in the stratosphere, contributing to ozone depletion. Additionally, CFCs are potent greenhouse gases that can trap heat in the atmosphere, leading to global warming.
Does global warming cause a thinning of the ozone layer?
No, global warming does not directly cause thinning of the ozone layer. The thinning of the ozone layer is primarily caused by the release of certain chemicals such as chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) into the atmosphere. Global warming and ozone depletion are separate environmental issues with distinct causes and impacts.
Does Global Warming cause the depletion of the Ozone Layer?
Global warming and ozone depletion are two separate environmental issues. Global warming refers to the increase in Earth's overall temperature due to the accumulation of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. Ozone depletion, on the other hand, is the reduction of ozone molecules in the stratosphere due to the release of chemicals like chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs). While both issues are related to human activities and impact the Earth's climate, they are not directly linked to each other.
Does global warming caused hole in ozone layer?
Global warming does not directly cause the hole in the ozone layer. The hole in the ozone layer is primarily caused by human-produced chemicals known as ozone-depleting substances (such as chlorofluorocarbons, or CFCs). While global warming and ozone depletion are related environmental issues, they have distinct causes and impacts.
Is ozone depletion the cause why there is global warming?
Yes, it is. It is responsible for global warming.
How did the hole in ozone layer occur and is it related to global warming?
The hole in the ozone layer came about because of the artificially produced gases CFCs (chlorofluorocarbons). These contained chlorine and bromine which destroyed ozone. CFCs are now banned. The ozone hole has very little to do with global warming.
True or false a main cause of the thinning of the ozone layer is global warming?
False. The main cause of the thinning of the ozone layer is the presence of halogen atoms in the stratosphere from man-madeHalocarbon refrigerants (CFCs, freons, halons).
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.
Which gas has been implicated in both global warming and depletion of the ozone layer?
Chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) are gases that have been implicated in both global warming and depletion of the ozone layer. When released into the atmosphere, CFCs break down ozone molecules in the stratosphere, contributing to the thinning of the ozone layer. Additionally, CFCs act as potent greenhouse gases, trapping heat in the atmosphere and leading to global warming.
