When a volcano erupts, it releases a large amount of ash into the atmosphere which creates a localized greenhouse effect. Additionally, the burning of any local organic matter can cause a lot of carbon dioxide into the air.

How do we know 97 per cent of climate scientists believe people are contributing to climate change?

An independent study of all the scientists who published literature on climate change was made by William Anderegg in 2010. It found that between 97% and 98% of these scientists agreed with the statement that global warming is being caused by human activity.A survey by Doran in 2009 of 3146 earth scientists found that 97.4% of those who had published on climate change agreed.Scientists need to back up their experiments by publishing the data so that other scientists can check. A survey (by Oreskes in 2004) of all the peer-reviewed abstracts published between 1993 and 2003 found that none of them rejected the consensus (that man is causing global warming).


Why do scientists think that climate is changing?

Scientists can measure that the global temperature is rising. They know that rising temperatures will change the climate. Weather happens from day to day, but climate change takes longer, several years, or several decades before it becomes clear that it is happening. That is the situation now. Scientists know that rising temperatures will change the climate.


How long do we have to survive if climate change does not stop?

Some scientists think the human race has a 50:50 chance of surviving beyond 2100 if climate change continues.


Do scientists think people affect climate change?

Yes climate scientists think that people are affecting climate change mostly from carbon emissions (from burning fossil fuels) and because we have destroyed the forests of the world that used to absorb carbon dioxide from the atmosphere.


What are the effects solar winds have on the climate?

As of now this topic is not yet fully evaluated by scientists. Some studies do indicate a relationship between solar winds, sunspots and climate change on earth, but there's no clear evidence on the actual impact.

Why do climate scientists believe climate change is real and is of concern?

Climate scientists believe climate change is real and is of concern because they understand the science involved and the factors that contribute to the climate, what controls it, and what is happening that makes the climate change. They also see and understand how the climate is changing and why it is happening.


Is there a connection between recent droughts and climate change?

Some people would say that droughts and floods and other weather events are increasing and this is a sign of climate change. Scientists are more cautious. Climate changes over a number of years, and scientists would say there is not yet a definite connection.
