Global warming this time began more then 250 years ago when we first discovered how to run factories and power them with coal-fired steam engines. At that time there were about 1 billion people on earth. Since then industrialisation, electricity generation and transport have been pumping carbon dioxide into the atmosphere so that there is more than there ever was before.
A:Since the increase in coal-burning at the start of the Industrial Revolution, and accelerating with the advent of the internal combustion engine.A:
The warming of our planet and retention of heat has been going on for millions of years. If you are thinking about the current warming cycle we have been experiencing, that began 10,200 years ago.

How long have scientists been aware of the issue of global warming?
Scientists have been aware of the issue of global warming since the late 19th century, when the concept was first introduced by Swedish scientist Svante Arrhenius.
What year is global warming?
Global warming refers to the long-term increase in Earth's average surface temperature due to human activities that release greenhouse gases into the atmosphere, predominantly since the mid-20th century. The trend of global warming continues to be a significant environmental issue that requires immediate attention and action to mitigate its impacts.
How long has global warming taken place?
Since the industrial revolution from about 1800 man has been releasing enormous amounts of CO2 into the atmosphere causing the green-house effect and leading to global warming. The process has accelerated as the population of the Earth grows and more countries get industrialised.
Who is going to make money from global warming?
Companies involved in industries such as energy production, construction, and agriculture may stand to profit from global warming as they may experience increased demand and lower costs. However, the long-term consequences of global warming on economies and societies are likely to outweigh any short-term gains.
If global warming is happening then why is the earth cooling?
Global warming is happening and the earth is not cooling. It is warming. 2010 and 2005 tied as being the two hottest years on record, and the ten hottest years since 1800 have all been in the past fifteen years.
How long are you going to last against global warming?

How long as global warming been here?
Global Warming, that is the warming of the earth since the beginning of the Industrial Age, began when man discovered fossil fuels some 250 years ago. There were commercial coal mines in the US state of Virginia in 1740.
How long has global warming taken place?
Since the industrial revolution from about 1800 man has been releasing enormous amounts of CO2 into the atmosphere causing the green-house effect and leading to global warming. The process has accelerated as the population of the Earth grows and more countries get industrialised.
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.
Is Kyoto a possible solution to global warming?
No because the Kyoto protocol assumes human beings are responsible for global warming. This is unlikely to be the case because the earth has gone through numerous cycles of warming and cooling going back long before human beings were a significant presence on this planet. Ever heard of the Ice Ages? There were several. Global warming and cooling are a function of solar activity and people can't control the sun.

For how long will polar bears live?
no one knows for how long it will take for them to die out but i hope its not for a long time. they were going to die with hunting but now that is controlled by law and now global warming i think they are doomed.
Is it 'global warming' or 'global warning'?
The correct term is 'global warming'. It refers to the long-term increase in Earth's average surface temperature due to human activities like burning fossil fuels, deforestation, and industrial processes. 'Global warning' is not a recognized term in the context of climate change.
What term means the increase of average yearly temperature?
The term is "global warming," which refers to the long-term increase in Earth's average surface temperature.
