Basically global warming is the earth being heated up due to greenhouse gases from the burning of fossil fuels, eg. the gas coming out of your car contributes to global warming.
Greenhouse gasses are gases like carbon dioxide, methane, water vapor, sulfates, etc. that hold in heat and prevent it from escaping to space. Some are pollutants, some aren't. Without some greenhouse gasses, Earth would freeze completely solid... all the way to the bottom of the deepest ocean valley!
However, when man started to dig up and burn fossil fuels, like coal, oil and natural gas, in transport and for generating electricity, we started releasing all this extra carbon dioxide that had been stored underground for millions of years. This extra CO2 is disrupting the normal carbon cycle and causing the earth to warm.
Deforestation, cutting down the rain forests, is another cause of global warming.
A:The critical factors impacting global warming and climate change are:(a) the increase in CO2 levels from emissions from burning fossil fuels;
(b) presence of aerosols or particulate matter in the atmosphere which create a cooling effect;
(c) cement manufacture, and
(d) other factors, such as land development, ozone depletion, animal farming and deforestation also have substantial impact on our climate.
We can stabilize our climate by reducing the greenhouse gas levels in the atmosphere. Annual emissions of greenhouse gases can be balanced by biological and geological sequestration of greenhouse gases. Scientists believe that our biosphere needs reduction of C02 from 390 parts per million (ppm) to under 280 ppm. We believe that these challenges can be achieved using modern technology and practices. Global warming and alternative renewable energy sources are discussed at the link below.
Yes, reductions in global snow and ice cover contribute to global warming acceleration. This is because snow and ice reflect sunlight back into space, known as the albedo effect. As snow and ice melt, they expose darker surfaces that absorb more sunlight, leading to increased warming. Additionally, melting ice contributes to sea level rise, which can further contribute to warming through feedback loops.
India is estimated to contribute around 6-7% of global greenhouse gas emissions, which are a major factor in global warming. However, it's important to note that global warming is a complex issue with contributions from many sources worldwide.
Global warming occurs when the greenhouse gases in the atmosphere capture the sun's heat reflected off the earth. More and more carbon dioxide retains more and more heat. This is increasing the temperature of the world.
True global warming does not decrease temperatures. So, either the model for global warming's effects is hokus-pokus, or global warming as presently claimed, does not exist. Some global warming followers will have you believe that global warming makes the weather "act crazy". If true, then it is not really global warming, is it.
No, global warming refers to a long-term increase in Earth's average temperature, causing more extreme heat events. Freezing of a building is more likely due to cold temperatures, inadequate insulation, or heating issues, rather than global warming.
Global warming is a situation, in which, the temprature of the earth gets increase
Neither is particularly useful.

If global warming affects the ozone hole, the UV will come in. This will lead to more global warming.
No, the sun does not prevent global warming. It provides the heat originally, and we add the extra greenhouse gases to capture more of it, causing global warming.

The North Pole, the Arctic, is showing more signs of global warming than anywhere else.
global warming is a serious threat and there are other enviromental issues but they aren't as major as global warming
The warming of the sea is part of global warming. If the earth warms up, then the oceans warm up too (but a little more slowly).
