In the 1700s people began burning fossil fuel in earnest. Before that they consumed a little bit of surface oil for lamps, or peat moss from bogs for heat. Some coal was burned in forges by iron workers, but not a huge amount. That coal and oil was still shipped by barge or ox cart.
So the problem of global warming was very small--earth could probably reabsorb all the CO2 emissions of the early industrial revolution, or nearly absorb them. We continued increasing our consumption of fossil fuels, doubling nearly every decade. What doubling consumption means is that, for example, in the ten years from 1910 to 1920 we burned more coal an oil than in all of human history prior to 1910. Again, from 1920 to 1930, we burned more coal and oil than in all of human history prior to 1920. From 1930 to 1940, we did it again, and again from 1940 to 1950, and again from 1950 to 1960, and so on, doubling consumption every decade for most of the 20th century.
Although Svante Arhenius established CO2 was a greenhouse gas by the late 19th century, climate scientists didn't really begin getting concerned about the issue until the 1950s, when we started measuring a steady rise in this gas. Earth's climate didn't begin responding in earnest to the changes until the 1980s.

Global warming is not seasonal, or annual. It is gradually increasing all the time.
Global Warming Day is typically observed on April 22nd each year, which coincides with Earth Day. It is a day dedicated to raising awareness about the urgent need for climate action to address the impacts of global warming on our planet.
Global warming is a long-term trend of rising global temperatures due to increased greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, mainly caused by human activities. It is not limited to a specific time of year; rather, it is a continuous process that is affecting the Earth's climate overall.
2012 was the hottest year on record for the State of Illinois. Scientists anticipate all 50 states, as well as the rest of the world, will be affected by the climate change associated with anthropogenic global warming.

2012 we really don't know when global warming will stop but we hope soon
Global warming is not seasonal, or annual. It is gradually increasing all the time.
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.
Dry skin isn't caused by global warming Jackass.
Yes, global temperatures have been rising on average every year due to human activities such as burning fossil fuels and deforestation, which release greenhouse gases into the atmosphere. This leads to the phenomenon known as global warming.
Well, its really hard to explain this. We have global warming, you know, and the global warming is getting more powerful this year. So, maybe, its really weird saying this, but maybe, we might have a very powerful global warming this year, and it ma cause us all to die
Infra-red picks up thermal imagery. It related to global warming as it contributes to the greenhouse effect. However, it also helps us to see where the global warming is affecting the climate and how much it is raising each year.
That would be impossible to answer. The problem is that most of "global warming" is dependent on computer models of how the climate works, using all kinds of current data to predict what the future climate will be. The problem is that the models are badly flawed; given all known data for everything before last year, the models are incapable of predicting the current conditions. The models say that the world should be warming; the data doesn't show that.
because global warming and greenhouse gasses like co2 carbon dioxide.
More vacationing time during the year.
There is no direct link between global warming and shark attacks. On average, worldwide shark attacks result in about 10 fatalities each year, with fluctuations due to various factors such as human behavior and shark populations. Global warming may impact the distribution and behavior of sharks, but it is not a direct cause of shark attacks on humans.
