Global warming refers to the rise in average global temperatures since the beginning of the Industrial Age and particularly since about 1970. Scientists tell us that is is the result of increased greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, resulting from human activity, particularly from burning coal, oil and natural gas, as well as from deforestation and the manufacture of cement. The extent of global warming during the twentieth century is about 0.75 degrees Celsius, with a much higher increase predicted for this century.
We need to remind ourselves that global warming is not something benign that will mean nice warm winters and glorious summers. It will mean climate change, with prolonged droughts in some areas, more frequent floods in others, loss of productive coastal land, displacement of some entire populations and more frequent sever storm activity. There will be a loss of food production that can not be made up for by opening up arctic areas. The year 2010 had the warmest global average temperature on record, fractionally warmer than 2005 and 1998, but as the difference is slight, the three years are regarded as the equal hottest. The past decade was the warmest since instrumental measurement began in 1850, and the ten warmest years since 1850 have now all occurred since 1998.

How much has earths temperature risen in the past 100 years?
The earth's average global temperature has risen 0.75 degrees Celsius (approx 1.3oF) in the last hundred years.A:The earth has warmed by 0.9 degrees Fahrenheit in the past 100 years. A:0.82 degrees Celsius.Approximately 0.6 degree Celsius.
Where has global warming occurred?
Global warming has occurred across the world, including in regions such as the Arctic, where temperatures have risen at a faster rate than the global average. Other impacted areas include Antarctica, where ice sheets are melting, leading to rising sea levels. Additionally, many regions have experienced extreme weather events like heatwaves, droughts, and wildfires due to global warming.
According to the National Academy of Sciences Earth's temperature has risen over degrees Fahrenheit in the past century?
The National Academy of Sciences reports that the Earth's temperature has risen by about 1.4 degrees Fahrenheit in the past century. This increase is largely attributed to human activities such as burning fossil fuels and deforestation, which release greenhouse gases into the atmosphere and contribute to global warming.
Can global warming cause hurricanes?
If it can, we have not seen them developing as of yet. The number of hurricanes has risen slightly, but the strength and intensity has been shown to have decreased over the past several decades.
How much has the average temperature risen in the greenhouse effect?
0.8 degrees Celsius, since 1850. 1850 was a known low temp referred to as the mini ice age. The total warming started roughly 10,200 years ago and is, in total, about 11 degrees C. 0.6 of the current warming occurred before World War 2. The temperature dropped for a few decades in the 1970's despite increasing use of fuel. 2010 tied with 2005 as the warmest years on record. The ten hottest years have all happened since 1998.
Were there earlier fast changes in temperature other than global warming?
There have been changes in temperature in the past, but climate scientists say that average global temperatures have never risen as quickly as they are now.
Is global warming a rapid or slow change?
Global warming is a rapid change. The earth's temperature has risen very fast in the past 50 years, compared to the very gradual rise over the past 12,000 years, the time of the last Ice Age.
In recent decades, the average temperature rates in the world have risen.?

Is it too late to fix global warming?
Considering that the warmer temperature is melting the permafrost and releasing huge amounts of methane, the change in sea temperature is changing the climate patterns causing drought, the ocean levels have risen it may well be too late. The best we can hope for is to adjust to a new "normal" that isn't too hard on our species.
According to the National Academy of Sciences Earth's temperature has risen over degrees Fahrenheit in the past century?

This increase is largely attributed to human activities such as burning fossil fuels and deforestation, which release greenhouse gases into the atmosphere and contribute to global warming.
What are two signs of global warming on the planet within the last 100 years?
Within the last 100 years there has been a 1 degree Fahrenheit temperature increase in the United States. The warming is uneven. Alaska has warmed about 5 degrees since 1960.Sea levels have risen globally by 1.8 mm per year for the last 100 years.
What year was the first gas powered vehicle introduced?
1886 was when the first fully working gas-powered vehicle was invented. I know this because I had to debate that global warming is caused mostly by human acivity in school. I used it as evidence, since when it was invented the annual temperature has slowly risen.
How cold is the polars?
The North Pole was recorded to be around -1 degrees Celsius, and the South pole at -51 degrees Celsius. With Global Warming, the temp. may have risen. The south pole is colder due to Antarctica being a land mass, and therefore, more susceptible to temperature change.
What temperature would the earth be without global warming?
In terms of global warming and the enhanced greenhouse effect, data indicates earth has currently warmed about 0.8 degrees C (1.4° F) more over the past century than it would have without the addition of all that extra carbon dioxide. Most climate scientists project additional temperature increase between 1.5 and 6 degrees C (2.7 to 10.8° F) over the coming century based on the current accumulation of CO2 and reasonable projections of continued emissions. Solar variation does not appear to play any role in current global temperature increases and in fact, strictly on the basis of orbital cycles and the slight measured decrease in solar radiation, earth should now be slightly cooling--not warming rapidly. The baseline for the temperature chart in the links is about 0.6° C lower than the current temperature, but we can estimate the current temperature would probably be about -0.2° C below the baseline were it not for the heat trapped by man's liberation of trillions of tons of CO2 (more than a trillion tons since 1975).
