Carbon dioxide (CO2) is primarily blamed for causing significant climate change. It is released through human activities such as burning fossil fuels, deforestation, and industrial processes. CO2 traps heat in the atmosphere, leading to global warming and resulting in various environmental issues, including extreme weather events and rising sea levels. Other greenhouse gases, like methane and nitrous oxide, also contribute to climate change but to a lesser extent compared to CO2.

How climate changes?

Climate is an average of weather over several years, at least twenty or thirty. Climate is always changing, but changes in the past have happened very slowly, over thousands of years. Humans have never been able to change the climate before, but now, since we began burning fossil fuels, we have added so much greenhouse gases to the atmosphere that the world is warming up. This global warming is causing climate change, because heat is energy, and the extra energy in the oceans and atmosphere is changing our weather substantially. Over the years the climate changes.


Is cooling the climate change that allowed flowering plants to increase?

No, warming seems to be causing flowering plants to blossom earlier each year. There is not much evidence to show that flowering is increasing, but this may be so with some species.


Is global warming affecting the climate?

Yes. Global warming is causing climate change, meaning hotter, wetter, drier in different parts of the earth, with storms likely to be stronger. Ice melting is causing sea level rise causing threats of permanent flooding to low lying coastal areas.


What can a super volcano do?

a super volcanoe is located in yellowstone national park. if it errupts during our lifetime..well you can say that is pretty much armagedom..it would destroy the U.S causing starvation due to lack of crops..the ash will be all over the atmosphere causing difficulty to breath as well the ash would block the sunlight.

Why climate change particularly global warming will make the world wetter?

Global warming is causing climate change, and yes, part of the climate change may mean some parts of the world will be wetter, even floods and rising sea levels, and other parts will be drier, with droughts and famine. There is already famine in much of Africa and climate change will lead to many more deaths than at present.


Does increasing sea level cause an increase in precipitation?

No, not necessarily. Global warming, which is causing increasing sea levels, is also responsible for climate change. Climate change may mean more rainfall in some areas, and less in others. It is not possible yet to forecast where or how much this will happen.


How does too much CO2 in the atmosphere effect the climate?

CO2 is a greenhouse gas. Too much CO2 in the atmosphere will make the climate hotter because it acts like a 'greenhouse' or blanket as it insulates heat in the atmosphere. CO2 allows heat to pass into the atmosphere but it doesn't allow heat to pass out into space. Too much CO2 in the atmosphere would trap the heat in the atmosphere, causing climate change.
