Is Global warming accelerated by reduction in global snow and ice cover?

Yes, reductions in global snow and ice cover contribute to global warming acceleration. This is because snow and ice reflect sunlight back into space, known as the albedo effect. As snow and ice melt, they expose darker surfaces that absorb more sunlight, leading to increased warming. Additionally, melting ice contributes to sea level rise, which can further contribute to warming through feedback loops.


What percentage of climatologists believe in global warming?

Approximately 97 of climatologists believe in global warming.


Why does global warming decrease temperatures?

True global warming does not decrease temperatures. So, either the model for global warming's effects is hokus-pokus, or global warming as presently claimed, does not exist. Some global warming followers will have you believe that global warming makes the weather "act crazy". If true, then it is not really global warming, is it.


Is global warming a pollution?

Global warming in itself isn't pollution - global warming is the gradual warming of the earth. However, global warming was caused by carbon dioxide pollution in the atmosphere, but global warming in itself isn't a pollution. yes it is a pollution


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.

Was there always global warming?

No, global warming is a relatively recent phenomenon that has significantly accelerated since the industrial revolution. Human activities, such as burning fossil fuels and deforestation, have increased greenhouse gas emissions in the atmosphere, leading to global warming.


What gases cause global warming and how?

Greenhouse gases (carbon dioxide and methane, mostly) cause global warming by increasing their levels in the atmosphere. This turns the benign greenhouse effect into an accelerated greenhouse effect which is causing global warming.


Does nonpolluting energy reduce global warming?

No, it just prevents an increase. Reduction of global warming has to be done through carbon sequestration, natural or man-made.


A rise in the Earth surface temperature due to an increase in the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere is called?

An enhanced (or accelerated) greenhouse effect which is causing global warming.

How does global warming cause long-term changes in the global temperature?

Global warming is long term changes - increases - in the global temperature.The increases in the global temperature are being caused by the accelerated greenhouse effect. That is, more greenhouse gases in the atmosphere (methane, but largely carbon dioxide from our burning of fossil fuels like coal, oil and gas) capture more of the sun's heat and warm the atmosphere. This extra warming is global warming.

Will global warming be accelerated by the release of carbon from the ocean?

No, carbon is recycled in and out of the oceans all the time. The only thing accelerating global warming is the additional carbon dioxide coming from burning fossil fuels.


Does hole in the ozone layer causes gplbal warming?

The hole in the ozone layer causes UV rays to enter the earth. These UV rays destroy the planktons which are responsible for reduction of global warming. Thus causung global warming.
