Of the major industrial nations, China eclipsed the US in total CO2 emissions in just the past few years. The US still emits more CO2 per person than China, however. India is working hard to catch up.

Qatar, per capita, has long been one of the world's top CO2 polluters.

Is global warming natural and are people making it worse?

In the past global warming was natural in that humans lacked the technology to have much impact. Currently the climate should actually be very gradually cooling, not warming rapidly as it is. Virtually all of the present warming is attributable to human activity. In other words, yes, people are making it worse.


Is global warming getting worse because of humans?

Yes. But we can prevent it, stop using fossil fuels and electricity too much and hopefully global warming can slow down.


Is the news making global warming sound worse than it is?

Not at all. By giving space to the opposing side, that variously claims that global warming is not happening, is happening but is not a problem, or is happening and is a problem but we have no power to stop it, the news media is unintentionally playing down the problem of global warming. This is a concern for scientists, who say global warming is real but can be stopped if we take decisive action before it is too late.


Are landslides getting worse because of global warming?

Landslides happen because of increased rain softening the earth on the side of a mountain. They also occur where people have removed trees which anchored the earth. Removing trees has an effect on global warming, and one of the results of global warming is increased rainfall in some areas. So there is some connection.


Why is global warming relevant to us?

The gasses we let out are helping global warming becoming worse and worse. The gasses that our cars produce, smoke from grills, hair-spray, etc, it's all worsening the climate. We are helping in destroying the earth's atmosphere, that's why global warming is relevant to us. We're all going to die from the sun's strong rays if this gets any worse.

In the future will global warming be worse than it is now?

Yes, unfortunately. Governments and business have not shown much determination to ban carbon dioxide emissions, nor to encourage renewable energy. There is already enough greenhouse gases in the atmosphere to continue the present warming for at least another hundred years, so global warming will certainly be worse in the future.


What happens when there is great amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere?

Carbon dioxide (CO2) is a greenhouse gas which is causing Global Warming. When there is a great amount of it in the atmosphere, then it absorbs a great amount of heat. This makes Global Warming worse.


What will happen to the animals when global warming gets worse?

One Tragic future for commonly known species are that if Global Warming gets worse the species will become extinct, Extinct means no more group or individual existence in a species, chronically saying the species is just a past-time generation and no longer exists.
