Global Warming, Climate Change. Undoubtedly, these words sum up the single biggest threat to humanity.
This question is one of the most asked and answered questions in America today. With many Americans asking themselves if global warming is just the media and politics combining together to scare people. Global warming is real, caused by what is known as "The Green house effect" or the rise in temperature that the Earth experiences because certain gases in the atmosphere..(water vapor, carbon dioxide , nitrous oxide, and methane, for example) trap energy from the sun. Without these gases, heat would escape back into space and Earth's average temperature would be about 60ºF colder. Because of how they warm our world, these gases are referred to as greenhouse gases.
SO WHATS CAUSING GLOBAL WARMING??
.. humans...
Scientists can see from satellite images and research that the ice caps are melting faster, our sea levels are rising, and weather patterns are changing. We are experiencing more water shortages and we will see hurricanes, typhoons and cyclones increasing in ferocity and frequency. The deserts will expand and the world will ultimately have difficulty growing enough food..
YOU CAN HELP!! everyday things like...
Recycle.
don't litter.
car-pool.
spread the word.
see what your community is doing to make the earth greener..
At the rate we are destroying our earth humanity as we know it is ending.. DO SOME THING.
What else can I help you with?
How is global warming not taking place?
Global Warming is taking place right now.
When will the water rise from global warming?
It's rising right now
What percent of the Earth would we save if we stopped Global Warming now?
It is difficult to quantify the exact percentage of the Earth that would be saved by stopping global warming completely. However, halting global warming would help protect ecosystems, reduce extreme weather events, and mitigate the threat of sea level rise, benefiting the planet as a whole.
Do all people believe in global warming?
no. and that is the problem. There are kinds of people: People who don't understand and people who don't WANT to understand. People who don't want to understand can make up lies, like Global Warming is a theory. They can also fight with climate scientists . There is a point in humanity that we are in right now. we need to stop global warming, we are now in the point where we can't undo global warming, only stop it from getting worse. We need to.
Will global warming come in 2012?
Global warming is going right now and all of us are trying heal the Earth but right now there's nothing we can do because there's not enough people to help us heal the Earth we have to spread the word to heal Earth and never make that happened again.
Is the global warming starting now?
Global warming continues to occur, as evidenced by the fact our polar ice caps are melting, and of course by global temperature records.
Do you Know any environmental issues?
A huge environmental issue right now is global warming, and overall depletion of the ozone layer. Global warming is a hot topic because some people still refuse to believe it is actually occuring.
What kind of climate zone that pacific island have now?
global warming
Are cars bad for the environment?
We now know that cars run by burning oil release carbon dioxide emissions that are causing global warming and climate change.
Is anything done to help the situation in global warming?
Cutting back on the use of electric appliances will help slow down air pollution, which will slow down global warming. SAVE THE EARTH!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (hey, that's what my shirt says right now! go figure!)
How much thicker was the ice before global warming?
Thicker than now
Why is the earth's crust getting warmer?
Right now, I would say Global Warming. The Greenhouse Effect is the main reason for increasing temperatures on the Earth presently.
