Deforestation does contribute to global warming, so it actually is one reason for global warming. Taking down immense forests does not allow the planet to control its Carbon Dioxide levels which in turn leaves more green house gases in the atmosphere. This of course traps heat which then warms the planet, but that is only a piece of the puzzle that is climate change.

Is urban sprawl the main cause of global warming?

No, the main cause of global warming is deforestation and the burning of coal, oil and natural gas. Urban sprawl would be fairly carbon neutral as regards global warming. Many building close together tend to be warmer than settlements that are spread out. But a compact town can pool its resources and cause few emissions that way.


A. burning fossil fuels b. deforestation c. respiration d. population growth Which of them is not a man-made cause of global warming?

Respiration is part of the carbon cycle and does not affect global warming.


Did the accident at chernobyl cause global warming?

No, the Chernobyl nuclear accident did not cause global warming. It probably had no effect on it at all. Global warming is caused by the excessive burning of fossil fuels which releases additional carbon dioxide, a greenhouse gas, into the atmosphere. Deforestation has also removed forests that used to remove this carbon from the environment.


Do solar flares cause global warming?

Solar flares do not cause global warming. Global warming is primarily driven by human activities, such as burning fossil fuels and deforestation, which increase the concentration of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. Solar flares are intense bursts of radiation from the sun that can affect radio communications and satellite technology, but they do not play a significant role in Earth's climate change.


Are termites the one of the top 20 reasons for global warming?

Termites are not one of the top 20 reasons for global warming. While they do release methane, a potent greenhouse gas, the main contributors to global warming are activities like burning fossil fuels, deforestation, and agriculture.

How could people cause global warming?

People can contribute to global warming by burning fossil fuels for energy, which releases greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. Deforestation, agriculture, and industrial processes also release greenhouse gases. As these gases trap heat in the atmosphere, they cause temperatures to rise and contribute to global warming.

What is the cause of the warming of the atmosphere?

The primary cause of the warming of the atmosphere is the increase in greenhouse gases, such as carbon dioxide, methane, and nitrous oxide, which trap heat in the Earth's atmosphere. Human activities, such as the burning of fossil fuels and deforestation, contribute significantly to the rise in greenhouse gas concentrations, leading to global warming.


Do Mexicans cause global warming?

Many different factors contribute to the damage that is done to the atmosphere and every industrialized country contributes somewhat. Mexico is known more for it's air pollution then for cause global warming.

What are the causes of wild life depletion?

The main causes of wildlife depletion are global warming. Deforestation is also one major cause.


Do you not believe in global warming?

I do. Global warming exists. The main cause of global warming is the increase in greenhouse gases from burning of fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) in industry, transport and the generation of electricity, which releases carbon dioxide (CO2). That increase is reversible. The second leading cause is the increase in deforestation. That is also reversible.


What does not cause global warming burning fossil fuel fishing deforestation and driving?

Fishing. All the rest put extra carbon dioxide into the atmosphere.
