1: Global warming is happening at this moment. There is no possible way to stop it, even if every nation took maximum effort right now. What we can hope for is that we can slow it down a little.
2: It's not as hopeless as that. It depends on what we do. If we keep going and don't change anything, we would be having serious effects in about a few hundred years. Things we can do to prevent that, is really increasing the growth rate of trees would-over time-significantly decrease Co2 pollution. During the time we save, we'll have more time to switch to a newer, cleaner, renewable energy source. And in 300-600 years, we'll have a very green planet.
I wonder how we can mitigate the effects of global warming before irreversible damage is done to our planet. I am curious about the role of technology and innovation in finding solutions to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and slow down climate change.
The term is "global warming," which refers to the long-term increase in Earth's average surface temperature.
No because the Kyoto protocol assumes human beings are responsible for global warming. This is unlikely to be the case because the earth has gone through numerous cycles of warming and cooling going back long before human beings were a significant presence on this planet. Ever heard of the Ice Ages? There were several. Global warming and cooling are a function of solar activity and people can't control the sun.
Global warming is a long-term increase in Earth's overall temperature, which is occurring in all seasons. However, the effects of global warming, such as rising temperatures, melting ice caps, and more extreme weather events, can be more noticeable in certain seasons depending on the region.
Global warming refers to the long-term warming trend of the Earth's climate system, which is driven by increased levels of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. While the planet is warming overall, this doesn't mean that every single location will experience warmer temperatures all the time. Cold weather in a specific location at a specific time does not negate the broader trend of global warming.
Global warming is long term changes - increases - in the global temperature.The increases in the global temperature are being caused by the accelerated greenhouse effect. That is, more greenhouse gases in the atmosphere (methane, but largely carbon dioxide from our burning of fossil fuels like coal, oil and gas) capture more of the sun's heat and warm the atmosphere. This extra warming is global warming.

The correct term is 'global warming'. It refers to the long-term increase in Earth's average surface temperature due to human activities like burning fossil fuels, deforestation, and industrial processes. 'Global warning' is not a recognized term in the context of climate change.

Global warming is an effect of climate change. Climate change refers to long-term changes in temperature, precipitation, and other atmospheric conditions. Global warming specifically refers to the increase in Earth's average surface temperature due to human activities like burning fossil fuels.

Global warming refers to the long-term increase in Earth's average surface temperature due to human activities that release greenhouse gases into the atmosphere, predominantly since the mid-20th century. The trend of global warming continues to be a significant environmental issue that requires immediate attention and action to mitigate its impacts.
Global warming is a long-term increase in Earth's overall temperature, which is occurring in all seasons. However, the effects of global warming, such as rising temperatures, melting ice caps, and more extreme weather events, can be more noticeable in certain seasons depending on the region.
We know now that global warming started in the Industrial Revolution, more than 200 years ago, when we discovered and started to burn fossil fuels, which released carbon dioxide (CO2). This is one of the greenhouse gases that are causing global warming.

Global Warming, that is the warming of the earth since the beginning of the Industrial Age, began when man discovered fossil fuels some 250 years ago. There were commercial coal mines in the US state of Virginia in 1740.
