  1. Greenhouse gases in the atmosphere keep the earth warm. However, in the past 150 years we have been burning fossil fuel (coal, oil and natural gas), releasing carbon that has been stored underground for millions of years. All this extra greenhouse gas, as well as other gases, like methane from melting tundras as well as cattle, mean the atmosphere is warming, globally.
  2. The world's huge population has a demand for electricity and red meat, to put it simply. We have to burn more and more fossil fuel to generate the electricity, and we are breeding more and more cattle to feed the world.
  3. Forests, which absorb carbon dioxide and release oxygen, are being cut down in many places, often for cattle pasture.

This means the climate will change, becoming warmer and drier in many areas, and wetter in others. Droughts will destroy croplands and millions of people will have to move to cooler countries. Scientists now suggest that extreme weather events will become more common.

A: I'm sure you know about the increase in burning fossil fuels which is leading to more pollution especially the increase in CO2 levels which is an associated with global warming. CO2 is a major green house gas, greenhouse meaning trapping heat inside. it's basically what i said above about global warming meaning the earth is getting warmer. so is melting polar regions and there have been major heatwaves these few years and scientists are saying this is because of humans burning fossil fuels and letting more carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. but governments from some countries have got together and made a decision to try to stop the amount of carbon dioxide getting into the air. this is called the 'precautionary principle'.

A: Global warming is causing climate change.

There is one main cause of climate change and that's that global warming is heating everything up.

There is one main cause of climate change and that's that global warming is heating everything up.

Burning fossil fuels (coal and oil) for transport, industry and to make electricity puts carbon dioxide into the greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. Methane from melting tundra, cattle waste and belching is also added.

Greenhouse gases trap more and more heat from the sun. The earth is growing warmer and climate is becoming more and more unreliable.

What activities are causing climate change?

Deforestation and the burning of fossil fuels(coal, oil and natural gas) are causing global warming, that is, an increase in temperature all over the earth.This increase in temperature is causing climate change.

How has climate change affected Alaskan natives?

The climate change in Alaska is causing the amount of animal habitats to decline, forcing Alaskan hunters to find and alternate food source. The change in climate is also causing erosion damage to houses in some areas of Alaska.


What is the increase of co2 causing?

The increase of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere is causing global warming and climate change.


Does greenhouse effect come under climatic change?

Yes, the enhanced, or accelerated greenhouse effect, is causing global warming, which is causing climate change.


What does climate change have to do with the Kyoto protocol?

The Kyoto Protocol is an 1997 international agreement by all countries to reduce their carbon emissions. Carbon dioxide pollution, emitted largely by the burning of fossil fuels, is causing global warming, and that is causing climate change. That is the connection between climate change and the Kyoto Protocol.


What IS ABOUT the Impact of Climate Change on Biodiversity?

What is the most dominant greenhouse gas causing our change in climate?

Carbon dioxide (CO2).


What are the hazardous gases?

Carbon dioxide and methane are the ones causing most of the accelerated greenhouse effect that is causing global warming and leading to climate change.


What natural factors do scientists think might be causing climate change?

There are no natural factors that scientists think are causing the present climate change. It is now clear that global warming is caused by deforestation and the burning of fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas).


Is human activity the main cause of climate change?

Human activity is the main cause of the present climate change. Burning fossil fuels and deforestation mean that the amount of greenhouse gas in the atmosphere has been gradually increasing since the start of the Industrial Revolution. This is causing an accelerated greenhouse effect, which is global warming, and this is causing climate change.
