What are the problems that cause global warming?

Answer 1

One major problem is the need for cheap energy. For the past century humans have met this need primarily through the consumption of finite fossil fuels, which currently liberates about 30 billion tons of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere each year.

Another problem is cattle ranching. Cattle eructations (belches) emit methane gas, which is 25 times as potent as CO2 in terms of trapping heat. This problem is far smaller in scope than that of energy production.

Concrete also liberates CO2 into the atmosphere as it cures, from the calcium carbonate used in its manufacture.

Answer 2

Global warming is primarily caused by the release of greenhouse gases, such as carbon dioxide and methane, into the atmosphere from human activities like burning fossil fuels, deforestation, and industrial processes. These gases trap heat in the Earth's atmosphere, leading to a gradual increase in global temperatures. Other factors contributing to global warming include urbanization, agriculture practices, and waste management.
