Which single gas has the greatest impact globally on the enhanced greenhouse effect?
Carbon dioxide (CO2) has the greatest impact globally on the enhanced greenhouse effect. It is the most prevalent greenhouse gas emitted through human activities such as burning fossil fuels. CO2 is a major contributor to global warming and climate change.
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.
What are the two major global changes affecting the biosphere today?
The two major global changes affecting the biosphere today are the ozone layer high in the atmosphere and the global climate system. Hope this helps! (:It's the global warming and the climate change. The biosphere is the global sum of all ecosystems
How might having a fair understanding of some scientific topics help us be responsible citizens in light of critical global issues such as climate change?
Yes, a fair understanding of what you said would help us a lot to be good responsible global citizens.
How might solar powered buildings and cars reduce the amount of carbon dioxide that is added to the atmosphere?
Solar powered buildings and cars reduce carbon dioxide that is added to the atmosphere because instead of having the process of burning like fossil fuels they take in the light energy from the sun, store and use it.
What do people believe about climate changes and global warming?
People believe that man is causing global warming and climate change by burning fossil fuels and cutting down the forests of the world.Other people believe that global warming is a natural event and man is not causing it.Most believe that it is partially a natural issue that man is having some unknown affect on as well. This is where most scientists fall.Other people believe that global warming is not happening at all.
What effect is the greenhouse effect having on your planet?
The normal greenhouse effect keeps the planet, and us, warm.the enhanced greenhouse effect, which we are having now, is causing global warming and climate change.This is happening because of our burning of fossil fuels(coal, oil and natural gas) and deforestation (cutting down trees which previously removed carbon dioxide (CO2) from the atmosphere).
Why isn't water a fossil fuel?
Water isn't a fossil fuel because it is not a fossil and it will not burn, having already been completely oxidized. If you want, you can think of it as the ash resulting from burning hydrogen.

Why is it important to investigate alternative fuels?
Because our present sources are running out, the majority of which are fossil fuels, and are adding to global warming and climate change.A:Because the US dependence upon foreign oil is having adverse effects on the US economy and the climate. If we can develop an alternative, then we have more control on oil prices and less dependency on other nations.
Does human respiration affect global warming?
Global warming is being caused by the extra carbon dioxide (CO2) released by the burning of fossil fuels, and by deforestation, which removed the forests that used to absorb CO2 from the atmosphere.Human respiration, where we breathe out CO2, is part of the natural carbon cycle. For millions of years the carbon cycle has been able to move CO2 in and out of the atmosphere. Of course there are now almost 7 billion people in the world, so we are having some effect. However, it is unlikely that human respiration alone would have much effect on global warming.
What affect human activity is having on the amount of carbon stored in sinks?
Burning large amounts of fossil fuels and cutting down forests.
What is climate change global warming causing?
"Climate Change" and "Global Warming" are not the same, though related. Global Warming causes Climate Change. With Global Warming we understand the warming of the earth's global temperature. That warming has in turn an effect on the earth's global climate and on more localized climates (like the climate of England or Western US).
Why is global warming not occurring?
its because global warming is actually the opposite of the natural phenomenon called "Ice Age". but glbal warming is the point where our climate should be very very hot which can kill human species. Today as we can see we were just having a short term global warming due to the earths cores heat which has been closer the the surface due to gravitaional forces in the solar system related to changes in Earth's orbit.
What is illogical about arguing against global warming based on having a cool summer in the Midwest?
Weather is not climate. Climate is an average from all over ... all year round.
How do China and the US contribute to global warming?
China as a nation is the world's largest emitter of carbon pollution. The US is now second, having recently been overtaken. Factories, industries and electricity generation, all burning fossil fuel that releases the greenhouse gas carbon dioxide, are the main cause.
