20-30 years ago they called it global cooling. it has more to do with politics and liberal looneys

________________________________________________________________

Over the past 650K years we KNOW that the planet has had at least four similar patterns. These happen every 125K years, with this warming cycle starting about 10,000 years ago and the least warm of the five (four previous and this cycle).

We know that the warming appears to be aligned with planetary movement. When all major planets are on the same side of the sun, we see a far less elliptical orbit of our planet. This coupled with the angle of our planet, in relationship to the sun and the solar activity itself makes determining what is normal for our planet very difficult. We can say though that we should be near the peak of the 125K year cycle in terms of warming.

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 old is global warming?

The theory of global warming became popular in the early 70's. As for how old actual global warming is, is debatable. Some argue that global warming is a natural cycle the earth goes through every so many centuries.


Where is the Earth Affected by Global Warming?

The Earth is affected by global warming all around the globe, but some regions experience more pronounced impacts than others. These can include rising sea levels affecting coastal areas, more frequent and intense heatwaves, changing patterns of precipitation leading to droughts or floods, and shifts in ecosystems and wildlife distribution. Ultimately, global warming affects the entire Earth system, impacting both natural environments and human societies.


How many years before the earth gets destroyed from global warming?

The earth will never be destroyed by global warming. Life on earth might be destroyed, if we don't make serious efforts to stop global warming. Venus has temperatures of over 460C (860F) with an atmosphere full of carbon dioxide. The planet still exists, but there is no chance of life.


Has global warming helped the earth?

Global warming will raise the temperature of the earth and cause great changes to the climate. The earth will cope with this. All living things on earth, however, may die if global warming continues.

Is global warming as bad as other natural phenomenon?

i think it is bad as it is raising the sea level which can result sinking of land masses.as the name 'global warming' says that heating of the earth which can result in perishing many living organisms.hence global warming is very bad.

How Many scientists don't believe in global warming?

The overwhelming consensus among climate scientists is that global warming is real and primarily caused by human activities. While there may be a small minority of scientists who question the extent or causes of global warming, the consensus and evidence supporting the reality of climate change are robust.

What are the side effects for Global Warming for man kind?

There are so many side effects to man kind from global warming. Here is the biggest side effect:;If global warming continues for a longer time, it could make the planet inhabitable and force all life to either become extinct, or if technology allows, move off of earth. Think of earth as a slow heating oven.


Is both global environment and global warming is same?

Not quite, though they are very closely connected. Global warming is the warming of the earth. This is causing climate change, which is the many different changes in climate that are beginning to happen.


Why plants are good for the environment and how do they prevent global warming?

Plants are good for the environment for many reasons. The fact that the prevent global warming is just one of them. Other reasons include giving animals homes and food. Plants prevent global warming because they use Carbon Dioxide to make energy for themselves. Carbon Dioxide is a greenhouse gas, which means that it helps trap heat from the Sun in the Earth. This is a good thing, since Earth would be very cold if there were no greenhouse gases, but global warming is caused by there being too many greenhouse gases, which make it too hard for the Earth to cool off naturally. Plants help prevent global warming because they take Carbon Dioxide out of the air.
