The major force behind global warming is the burning of fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) in industry, transport and the generation of electricity, which releases carbon dioxide.

The consequences of global warming are climate change and all the dangers that this will bring.

Do meteors affect global warming?

No, meteors do not have a direct impact on global warming. Global warming is primarily driven by human activities that release greenhouse gases into the atmosphere, leading to the trapping of heat. Meteors are natural occurrences and are not significant contributors to changes in the Earth's climate.


What are the primary factors contributing to global warming?
