== == Possibly, there have been numerous scientists since the atomic bomb's beginning that have been concerned with the idea that the atmosphere could be burned up from setting off such a bomb. As well, at least one atomic bomb was set off in the atmosphere during testing so there has been some suspicious as to what the effect of this was on the earth. Below you'll find what another user said, what he said is partially true. Yes the debris would shield the sunlight but again part of the atmosphere maybe burned up in the process thus after the debris settles then global warming would ensue do to lack of shielding the atmosphere normally provides us with. "No, it would actually do the exact opposite. Like the clouds of dust and ash from an erupting volcano the debris from an atom bomb would shield us from the sun, preventing infrared radiation reaching us. (A different kind of radiation would reach us instead.)"

Which greenhouse gas is a major cause of ocean acidification?
When we speak of global warming, we usually mean the rise in average global temperatures since the beginning of the Industrial Age. This is mainly caused by carbon dioxide, the atmospheric concentration of which has increased by over 35 per cent, from the long-term range of 260-280 parts per million (ppm) to the present level of over 380 ppm. Another greenhouse gas that has made a significant contribution to global warming is methane, which is a far more potent greenhouse gas but fortunately exists in much lower concentrations.Carbon dioxide is the greenhouse gas that is largely responsible for global warming.
What is the biggest factor in environmental science today?
population and polution caused by it, is the major problem today.you can think upon it that every social problem takes birth from increasing population directly or indirectly.please think upon my answer!!
What does the cold war and world war and the atomic bomb have in common?
at the end of the world war (WW2) the atomic bomb was used on Hiroshima and Nagasaki. After WW2 the atomic bomb was further developed and "was used as a silent threat against USSR" until 1949 when they had their own atomic bomb. From that year there was an arms race which played a major part in the Cold War
Why is it bad for the earth to use fossil fuels?
The burning of fossil fuels is bad because it causes carbon dioxide levels to rise in the atmosphere. This extra carbon dioxide adds to the enhanced greenhouse effect causing global warming. This is why burning fossil fuels is bad. If we use more fuels then we should, the planet and mankind itself suffers in the long term. Pollution is a natural and problematic affect of this overuse. It causes pollution. Fossil fuels are bad for the environment because they create greenhouse gases which go up in to the atmosphere and magnify the suns heat which can cause ice caps to melt then that leads to the sea level rising which causes flooding and if too much ice melts animals in the Arctic could die.
How does electricity affect the Greenhouse effect?
Electricity is only indirectly related to the greenhouse effect since it is not a greenhouse gas, however, a lot of electric generation is done by burning fossil fuels, which of course does release carbon dioxide, the main greenhouse gas. Any use of electricity has what can be called a "carbon footprint". Of course, that is also true of everything that human beings do. Everything has some degree of impact on global carbon dioxide levels; even breathing releases carbon dioxide.
Is ch4 is responsible for global warming?
Yes it is responsible.It is a major cause
Does the scientific consensus support the idea that carbon dioxide does not cause global warming?
No, the scientific consensus overwhelmingly supports the idea that carbon dioxide is a major contributor to global warming.
Can wildfires start global warming?
While wildfires release significant amounts of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere which contribute to global warming, they are not a direct cause of it. Wildfires are typically a result of human activity or natural factors like lightning strikes. However, their frequency and intensity can be influenced by climate change, which is a major driver of global warming.
Did the steam engine cause global warming?
It didnt cause it but it sure did help. The burning of coal and other fossil fuels are major causes of global warming by release immense amounts of carbon dioxide and nitrous oxide into the atmosphere.
Does polythene paper cause global warming?
Polythene paper does not directly cause global warming. However, the production of polythene, which is a type of plastic, releases greenhouse gases that contribute to global warming when not disposed of properly. It is important to manage and recycle polythene products to reduce their environmental impact.
Does Global Warming cause the depletion of the Ozone Layer?
Global warming and ozone depletion are two separate environmental issues. Global warming refers to the increase in Earth's overall temperature due to the accumulation of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. Ozone depletion, on the other hand, is the reduction of ozone molecules in the stratosphere due to the release of chemicals like chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs). While both issues are related to human activities and impact the Earth's climate, they are not directly linked to each other.
What are the major issues in Antarctica?
global warming
What did you decide is global warming a real threat or are there more important enviormental issues to resolves?
global warming is a serious threat and there are other enviromental issues but they aren't as major as global warming
What are the causes of wild life depletion?
The main causes of wildlife depletion are global warming. Deforestation is also one major cause.
Do greenhouse gases in the atmosphere cause global warming?
Yes, greenhouse gases in the atmosphere trap heat from the sun, leading to the warming of the Earth's surface. This phenomenon is known as the greenhouse effect, and it is a major contributor to global warming and climate change.
What percentage of the global warming is caused by India?
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.
What are some major global issues?
global warming, deforestation, urbanisation, land degradation, access to fresh water
