Methane (CH4) is a greenhouse gas twenty times more powerful that Carbon dioxide (CO2).
The ozone layer acts as a protective barrier in the Earth's atmosphere by absorbing harmful ultraviolet (UV) radiation from the sun. However, certain human activities, such as the release of chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs), can deplete the ozone layer, causing holes and thinning. This depletion can indirectly contribute to global warming by allowing more UV radiation to penetrate the atmosphere and warm the Earth's surface.
The gasses we let out are helping global warming becoming worse and worse. The gasses that our cars produce, smoke from grills, hair-spray, etc, it's all worsening the climate. We are helping in destroying the earth's atmosphere, that's why global warming is relevant to us. We're all going to die from the sun's strong rays if this gets any worse.
One contributing factor to global warming is the increase in greenhouse gas emissions, particularly carbon dioxide from burning fossil fuels and deforestation. These gases trap heat in the Earth's atmosphere, leading to rising temperatures and other climate changes. Reducing these emissions is essential to combat global warming.
The huge winds needed to cause cyclones requires very warm water, so hurricanes and cyclones mainly occur during the summer (hurricane season). As global warming grows, it is very possible that water temperatures increase enough to cause more strong winds. More strong winds cause more cyclones which can develop into hurricanes.
To date there is no evidence that global warming is causing stronger tornadoes. In fact there are fewer strong tornadoes in the U.S. now than there were 50 years ago. This decrease appears to be due to factors other than global warming. The popular assumption is that a warmer atmosphere means more energy is available to power storms such as tornadoes. The problem is that weather and climate are complicated things. Tornadoes depend on a number of different factors, of which temperature is just one.
Part of the theory of global warming is that greenhouse gases capture the earth's heat. If more greenhouse gases are added to the atmosphere then more heat will be retained.We can measure that levels of greenhouse gases have increased, and we can measure that temperatures have risen. These measurements thus support the theory of global warming.
A strong political will will keep the global economy sound
That's really hard to say. Predictions have been made, however. An example is that by this past summer, the Arctic would be ice free. It wasn't, and other dire predictions have failed to materialize. The earth did go through a warming trend, but it appears to have slowed, or become static, as there has been zero warming in the last 17 years. It it does begin again, in short, no one can accurately predict when it will have strong effects.
These is defined as Globalization. It addresses the infrastructure of global corporations, as well as the effect it has on economies worldwide.
People are free to choose whether to believe that global warming is real, and no one says that they must believe the scientific evidence for global warming. However, those who wish to be informed would note that there is a strong scientific consensus that this is the case. Also, people who accept the reality that global warming is happening are the people who will be able to provide the leadership needed to solve the problem.
No. Global warming is caused primarily through variations in solar activity which start the process. Most climate scientists also claim that there is a strong possibility that man is also contributing to this process through the use of fossil fuels.
The ozone layer acts as a protective barrier in the Earth's atmosphere by absorbing harmful ultraviolet (UV) radiation from the sun.

The concept of Global Warming being real or not is hardly a party issue. The concept has moved away from the science and moved into a very political arena. Both sides take a similar view on Global Warming. They ignore the science and claim that the debate is over. It almost seems like the Democrat party's stand on global warming is that global warming is caused by Republicans. If you want it colder vote for Democrats. If you want it warmer vote for Republicans. This, of course, is not their official position.
It's logical. If the earth is warming, and scientists (and our own experiences) tell us that it is, then one of the effects of a warming atmosphere is that it warms things in the atmosphere. Glaciers are exposed to the air, the air is warmer, and so the glaciers melt. Therefore, global warming is responsible for melting the world's glaciers.

Tuvalu, a small island nation in the Pacific, has protested against global warming and its effects on rising sea levels. The country's leadership has been active in advocating for strong climate action at international forums to protect their low-lying atolls from becoming uninhabitable due to sea level rise.
