No.

Global warming is putting more energy into the atmosphere (and the oceans). This energy is changing the climate, but it doesn't always become warmer.

The big freeze that came to the US in January 2014 happened because an area of high pressure (and mild temperatures) in North East Canada and Greenland blocked the path of the freezing polar vortex which circles round the North Pole in winter. So the freezing winds of the polar vortex were forced south, right down into the US.

At the same time that this was happening, Greenland had above average temperatures, and on the other side of the world, the southern parts of Australia had a record breaking heat-wave of several days over 110°F (43°C).

Ocean currents, both hot and cold, affect the nearby countries. If these currents stop, or change temperature or direction, (because the warming ocean is changing too, just like the atmosphere) then the countries they pass will become hotter or colder.

Europe has always been warmer than Canada at similar latitudes because of the warm waters of the Gulf Stream (coming from the Gulf of Mexico). If this warm current changes, Northern Europe may become much colder.

Is global warming true or made up?

Global warming is true. The world is actually getting warmer, and will continue to do so.


What might global warming do to us?

Global warming is the same thing as greenhouse effects. They trap a lot of heat and lets the remaining heat get away into space. Therefore, global warming heats up the Earth making it warmer.


Will global warming make the earth colder or warmer?

Global warming would make the earth warmer. However, some parts, for example, Britain, may become colder for a while, especially if the Gulf Stream cools or slows.


Which animals does global warming affect the most and how?

global warming mostly affect the polar bears which live in the Arctic which is cold, and is getting warmer by time due to global warming. So polar bears a turning into an endangered species and people are designing them on Coke cans to help them. :)

What will happen to the UK's agriculture if global warming continues?

We don't know. Global warming may cause the Gulf Stream, which keeps the UK warm, to slow or stop. This would make Britain colder than it is now. However, if global warming continues Britain will then become warmer and warmer. There may be more rain or less rain. All this will cause problems for farmers and agriculture.

Does a hurricane cause global warming?

No, Hurricane Katrina caused flooding and terrible damage to humans and property, but it did not cause global warming. Global warming is caused among other things by man burning fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) and putting greenhouse gases into the atmosphere.


How is the atmosphere related to global warming?

Greenhouse gases in the atmosphere catch and hold the sun's heat. These gases are building up as we burn fossil fuels. The more gas there is the warmer it gets. This is causing global warming.
