Global warming is occurring for several reasons. Average temperatures have climbed 1.4 degrees Fahrenheit every year. The rate of warming is also increasing. Humans are also causing global warming, by pouring carbon dioxide into the atmosphere much faster than plants and oceans can absorb.

∙ 10y ago- They measure the temperature
- They measure carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere
- They measure sea levels rising
- They measure acidity rising in the oceans
- They can tell that the increased carbon dioxide in the atmosphere has the specific footprint showing that it comes from fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas).

Why do some scientists think that global warming would increase the strength of hurricanes?
Hurricanes get their energy from the warmth of oceans.
Do scientists agree about the causes of global warming?
The scientific consensus on global warming developed in the 1980s, when it became clear that human activity was primarily driving earth's rapid temperature change. The scientific consensus has strengthened in the intervening 30 years, though political opposition to the findings has also, almost incongruously, increased.
Is greenhouse effect is the other name of global warming?
Strictly speaking there is no other name for global warming."The whole earth heating up" might be another name.Global warming is causing climate change, so many people think they are both the same, so they say:"Climate change is another name for global warming", but they are not really the same.

Do tornadoes affect global warming?
Scientists don't think tornadoes affect global warming. There are some studies to suggest the other way round, that global warming and climate change may lead to weather events like tornadoes, more often and more violent.
Why is the study of global warming complicated?
Well, for one, there is a lot of controversy over this topic. Many think global warming is produced by cars, trains, etc. Others think it is just the climate changes that cause global warming. Others think there is none at all. Here is the silly thing. Scientists presently are saying that global warming is a problem. However, a little less than a century ago, scientists were scared that an ice age would end the world. That is probably why it is complicated, because there are so many viewpoints. Hope this helps
Why do you think scientists environmentalists and politicians are arguing about global warming?
Scientists and environmentalists are warning the world that global warming is a real and present danger. Politicians can rarely see beyond the next election in three or four years. Few of them, in the US anyway, have any long term vision.
What is the reason scientists think the tundra has shrunk by almost 20 over the last 20 years?
Global warming is melting the tundra.
What does mccain think about energy?
he think that we have so much energy till when we have caused global warming when we stop using all this energy global warming will stophe think that we have so much energy till when we have caused global warming when we stop using all this energy global warming will stop
When was global warming heard of?
i think in 1982
What do scientists think causes global warming the most?
Burning coal and oil (fossil fuels) and cutting down forests which take carbon dioxide out of the atmosphere.
Do all scientists think global warming is happening?
Every scientist agrees that local warming is happening. The vast majority of them (97%) agree that it is being caused by the human activities of deforestation and the burning of fossil fuels.
How do scientists think that increased carbon dioxide levels contribute to global warming?
Carbon dioxide is a greenhouse gas. Greenhouse gases capture and retain the sun's heat. Increased carbon dioxide levels mean that more and more of this heat is retained. This is warming the earth and the atmosphere all round the world - global warming.
