What else can I help you with?
According to Gore, how much global-warming pollution was added to the atmosphere on the day he gave his speech?
Al Gore stated that nearly 70 million tons of global-warming pollution were added to the atmosphere on the day he gave his speech in "An Inconvenient Truth."
Do volcanoes cause global warming?
Volcanoes can contribute to global warming by releasing greenhouse gases and aerosols into the atmosphere, but their overall impact is much smaller compared to human activities like burning fossil fuels.
What gas in the atmosphere causes climate change?
The main gas is carbon dioxide. We release this whenever we burn coal, oil or natural gas (the fossil fuels). Trees remove carbon from the atmosphere, but deforestation means that much of this carbon dioxide remains in the atmosphere. This is causing global warming, which causes the climate to change.
What would happen if the carbon dioxide in the atmosphere decreased?
If the carbon dioxide in the atmosphere decreased, it would lead to a reduction in the greenhouse effect, resulting in cooler temperatures and potentially impacting plant growth. However, as carbon dioxide is essential for photosynthesis and plant growth, a significant decrease could also negatively affect plant life and the organisms dependent on it.
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.
What greenhouse gases do in the atmosphere?
Greenhouse gases keep the earth warm.Too much greenhouse gas is causing global warming.
How do you changes to earth effect the atmosphere?
too much global warming can make holes in the atmosphere
How much has the air polluted because of global warming?
None. Global warming does not cause pollution. In fact, it is the other way round. Carbon dioxide pollution is causing global warming.
What effect causing global warming from too much carbon dioxide in the atmosphere?
Global warming catastrophically reduce mankindes bility to grow food, destroy or severely damage wildlife and wildernass, raise sea levels and thereby flood coastal areas and farmland.
How might gases cause climatic changes?
Greenhouse gases that we are adding to the atmosphere are carbon dioxide and methane (mostly). These gases reduce the amount of thermal energy escaping into space, effectively warming the atmosphere. Too much warming heats the whole globe, global warming, which is causing climate change.
How are excess greenhouse gases causing global warming?
Excess greenhouse gas (from the burning of fossil fuels) is carbon dioxide that has been hidden away underground for millions of years. Releasing it now is too much for the natural carbon cycle to deal with, so it is building up in the atmosphere. More and more of it is causing an accelerated greenhouse effect which is causing global warming.
Why is carbon dioxide a pollution?
Carbon dioxide released from burning fossil fuels is polluting the atmosphere causing an overload to the greenhouse effect in the atmosphere. We burn fossil fuels to generate electricity and to drive transport. So much extra CO2 is causing global warming.
How does planting trees assure that global warming will be lessed?
Part of the problem with global warming is the greenhouse effect, which has to do with there being too much CO2 in the atmosphere. Trees absorbCO2, so there is less of it.
What trapped gas leads to global warming?
Carbon dioxide trapped underground in fossil fuels for millions of years has been released. It floods the atmosphere, too much for the natural carbon cycle to remove, and the increase causes an enhanced greenhouse effect, which is causing global warming.
Is too much sunlight causing global warming?
No. The amount of sunlight reaching earth has not changed in any significant way in the past few thousand years. Global warming is the result of increase emissions of greenhouse gasses, primarily carbon dioxide, which, simply put, cause the atmosphere to retain more heat.
According to Gore, how much global-warming pollution was added to the atmosphere on the day he gave his speech?
Al Gore stated that nearly 70 million tons of global-warming pollution were added to the atmosphere on the day he gave his speech in "An Inconvenient Truth."
Why there is a global warming?
We have cut down much of the great forests of the world.We have seriously burnt vast amounts of fossil fuels.This means that carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere have been increasing.More greenhouse gas in the atmosphere catches more heat.This is global warming and what causes it.
