Global Warming

Yes, it certainly does. Trains and boats and planes and cars all run on fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas), the burning of which releases carbon dioxide (CO2), the greenhouse gas that is causing global warming. Strap a tent on your back, get on your bike, and head for the hills!

Radiant heat needs no medium, it is nothing more than long wavelength light... infrared light as a matter of fact. This is the heat you get on your skin when standing out in the noon day Sun. Further, as the meteorologist indicated, a lot of Earth's heat comes from absorbed electro magnetic energy from the Sun that is turned into lower frequency, infrared energy that is radiated back into the atmosphere.

The heat requiring a medium is convection and conduction heat. Convection is where the air moves about distributing the heat it contains. Your central house heater does this when its fan blows. Conduction is where the heat is transferred in solids, like between the burner of your electric stove and the bottom of the fry pan on top of that burner.

The term "global warming" began being used in the 1950s to describe the increase in Earth's average surface temperature due to human activities. "Climate change" emerged as a broader term in the 1970s to encompass not only warming but also other impacts like rising sea levels, extreme weather events, and shifts in ecosystems.

When it is summer in the US (June to August), it is winter in Europe (December to February).

When we stop burning fossil fuels to generate electricity, but instead use renewable sources of energy like solar, hydro, wind, wave, tidal, geothermal and biofuel then there will be far fewer greenhouse gas emissions into the atmosphere.

Less than 1% of Jupiter's atmosphere is composed of carbon dioxide. The majority of Jupiter's atmosphere is made up of hydrogen and helium.

Records of changes from global warming can be found in scientific reports, studies, and data collected by organizations like the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), NASA, NOAA, and other research institutions. These records include temperature measurements, sea level rise, ice melt, and changes in ecosystems that provide evidence of the impacts of global warming.

When coal and oil are burnt to generate electricity, they are converted almost entirely to greenhouse gases.

When natural gas is burnt to generate electricity, some of it is converted to water and some is converted to carbon dioxide, a greenhouse gas. Because of this, natural gas is preferable as a fuel, compared to coal and oil.

Generating electricity from wind, water flow (hydro-electricity), solar energy and hot rocks (geothermal electricity) emits no greenhouse gases.

What is the greenhouse effect? There are two meanings of the term "greenhouse effect". There is a "natural" greenhouse effect that keeps the Earth's climate warm and habitable. There is also the "man-made" greenhouse effect, which is the enhancement of Earth's natural greenhouse effect by the addition of greenhouse gases from the burning of fossil fuels (mainly petroleum, coal, and natural gas).

When a mass of warm air meets a mass of cooler air, the warm air will rise above the cooler air due to its lower density. This process can lead to the formation of clouds and precipitation as the warm air cools and condenses. It can also create atmospheric instability, potentially resulting in thunderstorms or other severe weather events.

One major cause of temperature changes on Earth is the greenhouse effect, where gases in the atmosphere trap heat from the sun, leading to warming. Human activities, such as burning fossil fuels and deforestation, have increased the concentration of these greenhouse gases, exacerbating global warming.

Photosynthesis, the process plants use to convert carbon dioxide and sunlight into carbon for the plant's use (releasing free oxygen from the carbon dioxide molecules, essentially eliminating the carbon dioxide).

Carbon emissions caps, which would reduce how much carbon dioxide humans put into the atmosphere; by reducing the rate of emission, a new lower equilibrium would be achieved and the total volume of carbon dioxide would reduce (if the emissions were lowered to a cap below the level at which carbon dioxide can be removed from the atmosphere through photosynthesis).

The reverse change of global warming is global cooling, which refers to a decrease in average temperatures worldwide. Global freezing is not a recognized scientific term but can be used colloquially to emphasize extreme cold conditions.

We have, the world has. Thanks to fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) which have transformed the world through the Industrial Revolution. Unfortunately they have a serious side-effect which we didn't notice till recently. Burning them adds old carbon dioxide (CO2) to the atmosphere and causes global warming.

You can find the rate of carbon dioxide production by doing an experiment to show the rate of carbon dioxide,You do this by counting the number of bubbles produced per minute.Increasing any key factor will increase the rate...

Is the equation of incoming and outgoing thermal radiation.

Incoming radiation or solar radiation is called short wave and the radiation emitted from the earths surface and atmosphere (heat radiation) is in the infra -red spectrum and is known as long wave radiation.

The only way for sea levels to fall is if the water goes somewhere else. Where else could it go? It could remain on land, but only if it was frozen. That is the answer. If precipitation always falls as snow and hail and the climate is cold enough, like Antarctica, then the frozen water builds steadily up on land. More and more water comes out of the oceans and then falls frozen onto land, where it stays there.

Many animals will be effected by global warming such as polar bears because their habitat is melting and being destroyed many other animals will be effected as well.

The amount of animals that are being threatened by global warming are extreme and drastic measures are needed.

There will be less oxygen to breathe and animals will start dying. The Earth will also heat up as a result of greenhouse gases as the CO2 is kind of like a shield that will prevent heat from escaping, but it allows heat through.
