No, the cause is now well known. Climate scientists have established a link between atmospheric greenhouse gas concentrations and average global temperatures. They have also demonstrated that the carbon which has contributed to recent increases in carbon dioxide levels is from fossil fuels. Therefore, global warminbg is caused to a large extent by our use of fossil fuels such as coal, oil and natural gas. Other anthropogenic sources of new carbon dioxide include cement manufacture and deforestation.

What is the cause of the warming of the atmosphere?

The primary cause of the warming of the atmosphere is the increase in greenhouse gases, such as carbon dioxide, methane, and nitrous oxide, which trap heat in the Earth's atmosphere. Human activities, such as the burning of fossil fuels and deforestation, contribute significantly to the rise in greenhouse gas concentrations, leading to global warming.


What gas would cause the most greenhouse warming of earth's atmosphere?

Carbon dioxide (CO2) is the gas that contributes the most to greenhouse warming of Earth's atmosphere due to its high concentration and long atmospheric lifetime.


Is global warming a cause or a effect of climate change?

Global warming is an effect of climate change. Climate change refers to long-term changes in temperature, precipitation, and other atmospheric conditions. Global warming specifically refers to the increase in Earth's average surface temperature due to human activities like burning fossil fuels.


How may the increase of air pollution in the Earth's atmosphere cause global warming?

Air pollution would not cause global warming. Pollution of our air is rarely done with colorless gases. Sulfur Dioxide, for example has some color. These gases would cause an effect called global dimming. This increases the albedo effect and would cool the planet. Water vapor and CO2 cause the warming our planet. Most of this is very natural (over 99%). The addition of CO2 to our atmosphere is believed to cause some level of warming.


What is a direct result of the trapping of energy by earth's atmosphere?

earth has weather.

Is global warming the primary cause of wind?

No. Wind is caused by a combination uneven heating of Earth's surface and Earth's rotation. There has always been wind on Earth and there always will be, with or without global warming.


What could be an introduction for my speech on global warming?

A:Global warming is a very big issue in the world today. Global warming is when the earth's temperature rises. The cause of global warming is when greenhouse gases trap heat and light from the sun [in the atmosphere of the earth] causing the earth to heat up. Global warming affects animals and our environment, such as rise in sea levels which will cause extinction for more than a thousand species.
