Greenhouse gases (carbon dioxide and methane, mostly) cause global warming by increasing their levels in the atmosphere. This turns the benign greenhouse effect into an accelerated greenhouse effect which is causing global warming.

Can volcanoes cause global warming?

Yes, volcanoes can contribute to global warming by releasing greenhouse gases and aerosols into the atmosphere.


How could people cause global warming?

People can contribute to global warming by burning fossil fuels for energy, which releases greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. Deforestation, agriculture, and industrial processes also release greenhouse gases. As these gases trap heat in the atmosphere, they cause temperatures to rise and contribute to global warming.


Is global warming due to greenhouse gases?

Yes, this is the most important cause.

What can be done to halt the effects of global warming?

Global warming can be halted by halting the greenhouse gases. These gases are the ones responsible for warming.


How does Plate Tectonics contribute to or cause global warming rather than humankind?

Plate tectonics does not directly contribute to global warming. The primary driver of current global warming is human activities, particularly the burning of fossil fuels which releases greenhouse gases into the atmosphere, trapping heat. Plate tectonics do play a role in releasing volcanic gases, but their impact on global warming is minimal compared to human activities.


What is the one possible cause of global warming?

Burning fossil fuel adds greenhouses gases to the atmosphere.
