How is it that global warming is heating up the earth and melting the ice caps but the earth is also cooling down over time?
Global warming is causing the Earth's average temperature to rise due to an increase in greenhouse gases trapping heat in the atmosphere. While there are natural cycles of cooling and warming over millions of years, the current rate of global warming is much faster due to human activity. The melting of ice caps is a direct consequence of this rapid warming, not a reflection of a long-term cooling trend.
How would glaciers be affected by changes in climate such as global warming and global cooling?
In global warming, the glaciers would melt, then they would flow into the ocean, then they could affect ocean currents, changing the climate, in some areas. And with global cooling, there would be more glaciers, depleting the ocean waters.
What are misconceptions about global warming?
Global warming is not important.Global warming isn't happening.Global warming is happening but it's not our fault.Global warming is happening but we can't do anything about it.Scientists are not sure about global warming.
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.
What is the gradual increase in the temperature of Earth's atmosphere?
Global warming is the name given to the recent (over 200 years) gradual increase in the temperature of Earth's atmosphere.
What is the difference between global warming and global cooling?
Global warming is when the global average annual temperature is generally trending upward. Global cooling is when it is trending downward.A:Global warming is happening now. Global warming is not beyond the control of mankind. It is being caused by our dependence on fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) which we are burning to produce electricity.
What is the opposite of global warming?
The opposite of global warming is global cooling, which refers to a decrease in the Earth's average temperature over an extended period of time.
How will Earth be in 2020?
If Global Warming and Global Cooling can be balanced correctly then the Earth should be a better place
What is happening to earth's average temperature?
It is rising slowly because of "global warming".
What are the patterns of heating and cooling in the atmosphere?
the earth goes through natural cycles of heating and cooling (ice-age and warming.) the thing is that natural cycles take centuries to millennium while the current warming phase is happening over decades- hence the name of global warming.

What does global warming tell us about the earth?
It tells us the climate is not a static condition, but has cycles of warming and cooling, drought and excess precipitation.
How has global warming helped the earth?
Global warming has not helped the earth, it has harmed the earth.
Why do you use the name fossil fuel?
Because the Greenies think that global warming is happening & that we need to "save the earth".
Why earth have a global warming?
There is no such thing as "a global warming" global warming only happens to earth because human and our unruly decrease in the earths resources. HUMANS cause global warming.

What do scientists believe is happening to the earth because of the greenhouse effect and pollution?
Scientists believe that global warming is happening to the earth because of the greenhouse effect and carbon dioxide pollution in the atmosphere.
