Humans are contributing to the global warming problem by burning fuel for industries, vehicles and basically all forms of modern technology, which increases the levels of CO2 in the air which in turn trap more heat in the Earth's atmosphere.

What is man's role in global warming?

Humans are responsible for serious deforestation as well as the burning of fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas). Climate scientists agree that this is what is causing global warming and climate change.


What does the documentary The Great Global Warming Swindle say about global warming?

This 2007 documentary suggested that climate scientists were influenced by funding and politics. It also suggested that there was no scientific consensus that humans were causing global warming.


Why will animals and plants be more affected than humans by global climate change?

Plants and animals can be more adversely affected by global climate change because plants and animals can't consciously choose their location and their resources. They have only their instinct to know what to eat or drink and have no way to know if the air, the water, or the soil in their environment is toxic. Humans can know and understand when their environment is not suitable and have the means to change or adjust it when necessary.


Is climate change irreversible?

If humans continue to burn fossil fuels and all other natural resources, continue emitting harmful gases, etc, it will be irreversible. If humans change their ways, yes, Climate Change is fully irreversible. By turning to other methods of obtaining energy, becoming aware of current problems, and acting upon it, yes, Climate Change and Global Warming can be reversed.


Why is global warming now called climate change?

It is still called Global Warming, but many people are now talking about Climate Change.Global warming is the way the world is warming (through burning fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) and deforestation). But global warming is CAUSING Climate change.

Are humans doomed by climate change and global warming Or are we going to die out by another cause?

Humans will not die out because of climate change. Humans like all other biological species will evolve. We will also adapt to our changing environment.


How do humans contribute to climate change not including global warming?

Humans contribute to climate change in various ways beyond global warming, such as through deforestation, which reduces carbon storage capacity; air pollution from fossil fuel combustion, which can impact cloud formation and precipitation patterns; and land-use changes, which alter local climate conditions and ecosystems. These impacts collectively affect the Earth's climate system in multiple ways beyond just an increase in temperature.


What is climate change and what kinds of energy are blamed for causing it?

climate change is a huge subject. one of the branches are global warming which is the rise in the temperature of the earth. the humans are what need to be blamed for it we are causing it


How does climate change the way humans live?

climate changes the way humans live because the amount of gas from factories we give off the more heat we trap in so that causes GLOBAL WARMING!!

Species responsible for climate change?

The main species responsible for climate change is human beings. Human activities such as burning fossil fuels, deforestation, and industrial processes release greenhouse gases into the atmosphere, leading to global warming and climate change.


Is this statement true or false Humans have no impact on the climate?

False. Humans have a significant impact on the climate through activities such as burning fossil fuels, deforestation, and industrial processes. These activities release greenhouse gases into the atmosphere, contributing to global warming and climate change.


When did humans have an impact on the climate?

The supposed theory is that humans have been accelerating global climate change since the 1800s (slightly over 200 years). Some say we have GREATLY impacted global climate and desperately need alternative energy sources before we cause a "runaway greenhouse effect". Some believe that humans have little to NO impact on the climate. My personal belief is that the arithmetic prevails. I do not believe that 200 years is enough time for heavy industry to effect the planets climate.


What resources do humans use that causes climate change?

None. Despite what you may hear, humans do not and likely cannot change climate.


Global warming and climate change did you start it?

It is a valid theory that humans started global warming through the expansion of concrete surfaces, cutting down of forests, eradication of wetlands, the use of fossil fuels, and automobiles which pump out global warming gases have all contributed to global warming and climate change.

How does global warming affect wildife?

Global warming is causing climate change. As the climate changes it may become drier or wetter. Animals' habitats will change; animals' food supplies may stop growing, or their prey may disappear. If wildlife can't adapt to a new environment, then it has to move or die. This applies to humans as well, of course.
