A magical way of capturing all the carbon released from mining and burning coal and oil and storing it somewhere so it will stay locked up forever and not go into the atmosphere and contribute to global warming. Then the world can go on burning coal for ever.

It could be called "Carbon capture" or "Clean Coal". Several scientists are already spending lots of government money trying to find this magic answer. The time and the money will run out before they invent anything.

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.


How does hydrogen power have an affect on global warming?

Hydrogen power could save us from global warming. If we could find an easy and cheap way to obtain it from water (H2O), then hydrogen is a pure and green fuel with no emissions except water vapor. Water vapour remains in the atmosphere for only a short time, as it soon builds into clouds and falls as rain, so it would not contribute to global warming the way carbon dioxide is. Cars and industry could run on hydrogen, as could electricity power stations.


Is global warming or nuclear fuels more dangerous?

Both global warming and nuclear fuels have potential dangers. Global warming can lead to widespread environmental disruption and impact ecosystems. Nuclear fuels carry the risk of catastrophic accidents like meltdowns and long-term environmental contamination, but also provide low-carbon energy that can help mitigate global warming. Both issues require careful consideration and management to minimize risks.


How could people cause global warming?

People can contribute to global warming by burning fossil fuels for energy, which releases greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. Deforestation, agriculture, and industrial processes also release greenhouse gases. As these gases trap heat in the atmosphere, they cause temperatures to rise and contribute to global warming.


How is Global Warming a Scam?

The science of global warming could be a scam if someone had anything to gain by it. Yet scientists resisted the idea that they should be concerned about the possibility for almost a century after the possibility of anthropogenic global warming was first identified. No scientist has anything to gain by creating a hoax. In fact, any evidence that a research scientist has engaged in a scam would be career-destroying.

How can water pollution interact with global warming?

Water pollution could be said to add to global warming by the means it takes to clean the water. This then causes the emissions of greenhouse gases that increase global warming.


Is global warming real bad?

It could be said to be quite bad Yes it is because there are creatures and people who require the ice and are vulnerable to the global warming.

Yes. And also with it.


Could global warming make snakes bigger?

No, global warming is unlikely to make snakes or any animals bigger. Their habitats are warming so animals are already on the move seeking cooler climates.


The depletion of this natural resource within many parts of South America could seriously increase the rate of global warming?

The depletion of Rainforests could increase rate of global warming. It is because these forests absorb carbon dioxide. In their presence this greenhouse gas would cause global warming.


Can someone help with an allegory for global warming or pollution with the main characters Im really lost?

You could have a character named Polution or something that could represent global warming and he would have powers to do things to the world that are actually happening because of global warming, and you could have someone named Bad which is in Land and he could be a main producer of the smoke by working at a power plant or something, but besides that i dunno what else. Hope that helps.
