There are no natural factors contributing to the present global warming and climate change. Without human intervention the world would probably be slightly cooling. However, our burning of fossil fuels have put billions of tonnes of carbon dioxide, a greenhouse gas, into the atmosphere. This is trapping heat and raising the temperature of the air, the oceans and the land.

How have non human factors contributed to climate change?

Non-human factors play no part in global warming and climate change. If we had not started burning fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) in industry, transport and the generation of electricity, which releases carbon dioxide, there would be no global warming. And then no climate change.


Why is it so hot this year in 2016?

The high temperatures in 2016 can be attributed to a combination of factors, including climate change, El Nio weather patterns, and natural variability in the Earth's climate system. These factors have contributed to the overall warming trend observed in recent years.


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).


What are two natural factors caused by nature that can cause extinctions?

climate change and asteroid impact


True or false Even without pollution climate can change by itself?

True. Climate change can occur due to natural factors such as changes in solar radiation, volcanic eruptions, and natural variability in the Earth's climate system, even in the absence of human-induced pollution.


What are the two main categories of factors causing climate change?

The two main categories of factors causing climate change are natural factors, such as volcanic eruptions and changes in solar radiation, and human activities, primarily the burning of fossil fuels and deforestation. Both of these factors contribute to the increase in greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, leading to global warming and changes in climate patterns.


Which river valley civilization was most completely destroyed by natural disasters such as climate change?

The Indus Valley Civilization was most completely destroyed by natural disasters such as climate change. Flooding of the Indus River and changes in the monsoon patterns are believed to have contributed to the decline of this ancient civilization.


What are some factors that have caused the dominant life-forms on Earth to change over time?

Natural catastrophes, migration of food source, and climate change


What is closely related to climate?

Weather patterns, greenhouse gases, ocean currents, and deforestation are closely related to climate. Various factors can impact climate change and variability, including human activities and natural processes.


What are the factors of global climate?

Factors influencing global climate include greenhouse gas emissions, volcanic activity, solar radiation, ocean currents, and land use changes. These factors interact in complex ways, affecting Earth's temperature, weather patterns, and overall climate stability. Human activities, such as burning fossil fuels and deforestation, have significantly amplified the impact of these natural factors on global climate change.


What are five factors that can limit the size of a population in an area?

The 5 forces that affect a population are limiting factors, natural disasters, climate change, introduction of non-native species, and population changes.


What are internal forcing mechanisms in climate change?

Natural changes in the components of earth's climate system and their interactions are the cause of internal climate variability, or "internal forcings." Scientists generally define the five components of earth's climate system to include Atmosphere, hydrosphere, cryosphere, lithosphere (restricted to the surface soils, rocks, and sediments), and biosphere.
