Global Warming

If we choose to do what we can to reduce greenhouse gases, we can help prevent global warming. Global warming is predicted to cause potentially catastrophic climate change, rising sea levels, loss of wildlife habitat and biodiversity, and serious economic harm in the medium and long term.

Scientists study various sources of evidence such as ice cores, sediment layers, tree rings, and historical records to track changes in Earth's climate over time. These sources provide data on temperature, precipitation, and other climate factors that help scientists reconstruct past climates and understand how they have changed. Additionally, proxy indicators like the ratio of oxygen isotopes in ice cores can provide valuable information about past climates.

Your question is way too broad. Which people, where, and in what era? The answer will vary greatly depending on the situation.

If you're going to post your homework questions online, at least give us some context.

The manufacture of concrete produces significant amounts of carbon dioxide, a greenhouse gas. This is mainly due to the chemical reactions involved in producing cement, a key ingredient in concrete. Additionally, the energy-intensive process of mining raw materials and transporting them to manufacturing plants also contributes to carbon emissions.

The phenomenon is called global warming, which is primarily caused by the increased concentration of greenhouse gases in the Earth's atmosphere due to human activities such as burning fossil fuels and deforestation. This leads to the trapping of heat from the sun, resulting in the gradual warming of the Earth's surface and atmosphere, leading to climate change and its associated environmental impacts.

sulpher dioxide. eh

Corrected:

yes... it's sulfur.. and when you burn sulfur you'll get sulfur dioxide after combuston.

The current warming trend we see now started about 10,000 years ago. This warming is approximately 11 degrees C over the entire span. This means glaciers have been melting for about 10,000 years and receding. This water must go somewhere, so we have been seeing oceans rise over the past several thousands of years.

Because carbon dioxide always follows temperature. As temperature goes up, we know that CO2 will also start to rise. This is the observed case. Over the past 10,000 years we have indeed seen a rise in the overall levels of CO2.

With an increase in temperatures and CO2, we see a corresponding increase in plant life.

Global Warming?

The Washington Post

The Arctic ocean is warming up, icebergs are growing scarcer and in some places the seals are finding the water too hot, according to a report to the Commerce Department yesterday from Consulafft, at Bergen , Norway . Reports from fishermen, seal hunters and explorers all point to a radical change in climate conditions and hitherto unheard-of temperatures in the Arctic zone. Exploration expeditions report that scarcely any ice has been met as far north as 81 degrees 29 minutes. Soundings to a depth of 3,100 meters showed the gulf stream still very warm. Great masses of ice have been replaced by moraines of earth and stones, the report continued, while at many points well known glaciers have entirely disappeared.

Very few seals and no white fish are found in the eastern Arctic, while vast shoals of herring and smelt which have never before ventured so far north, are being encountered in the old seal fishing grounds. Within a few years it is predicted that due to the ice melt the sea will rise and make most coastal cities uninhabitable.

====================

I apologize, I neglected to mention that this report was from November 2, 1922. As reported by the AP and published in The Washington Post……… 88 years ago!

Seasonal variations of climate impact the state of an ecosystem. In areas that experience a cold season, some elements of the ecosystem change their residence or even hibernate to survive. Succession can be considered a higher state of development of the ecosystem.

An instance of the influence of warm water is the North Atlantic. Warm water fed by the North Equatorial Current into the North Atlantic Drift, via the Gulf Stream, reach the Bay of Biscay on the western coast of France. Western European countries like France benefit from mild winters, due to the influence of these currents. By the time the same currents reach the American side, the water has travelled through the northern Atlantic and is cold. This is why a town like Bordeaux on France western coast, has a milder climate than New york which sits at the same latitude.

because of global warming. the atmosphere is being destroyed. thus the Sun's rays are melting the ice. the ice at the poles is what keeps the planet from overheating. without it we will all cook.

An airline pilot may use earth science knowledge to understand weather patterns, atmospheric conditions, and geography to make informed decisions on flight routes, altitudes, and fuel efficiency. They can also utilize earth science to navigate safely through various weather phenomena such as thunderstorms, turbulence, and icing conditions. Additionally, understanding earth science helps pilots to anticipate and adapt to environmental factors that may impact the safety and efficiency of their flights.

There are a lot of reasons.

One is a big cloud (like one resulting from massive volcanic activity or the impact of a large asteroid) can block the Sun and plants would not survive, so then many herbivores die followed by most carnivores.

When an environment changes the organisms living in it may not have the time to evolve to adapt, and so they die.

A change in climate can lead to extinction because it can destroy organisms' habitats. For example, woolly mammoths had thick fur that was perfect for keeping themselves warm in the cold area. When global warming caused the climate to become warmer, their traits for cold weather were no longer helpful and eventually became extinct.

Increasing the level of greenhouse gas in the atmosphere initially results in a reduction in the rate at which the earth radiates energy to space. Since the amount of incoming energy remains fairly constant this results in a build up of energy (in the form of heat) in the land/atmosphere/ocean system - almost all of it in the oceans.

The heat that affects us most immediately is the heat that is released into the atmosphere. Warmer air can hold more water vapour than colder air. That means that warmer dry air is much more desiccating than colder dry air and warmer humid air can result in much heavier precipitation than cooler humid air. As a result both floods and droughts become much more destructive.

The rate at which heat is released into the atmosphere is very dependent on conditions in the oceans, particularly the El Nino Southern Oscilation (ENSO). During the El Niño phase of ENSO the Easterly Trade winds weaken or even reverse and the tropical Pacific Ocean is flooded with warm water. The result is large amounts of heat are released into the atmosphere and global surface temperatures rise. A classical example is 1998 when the average global temperature soared. During a La Niña event the trade winds strengthen, the warm water is pushed to the Western side of the Pacific where it accumulates in a deep pond, cool bottom water wells up in the Eastern Pacific, much less heat is released into the atmosphere and global surface temperatures cool. Nonetheless because of the overall warming trend the temperatures during La Niñas during the last decade have been higher than the temperatures during El Niños for most of the previous century.

The warming atmosphere also means that heat waves are hotter and last longer and are more deadly to both people and crops.

As the ocean heats it expands and sea levels rise slowly. Most of the sea level rise during the 20th century was due to this expansion. However a more serious effect which has only recently had a marked effect is the way that warm water speeds up the rate at which glaciers in both Greenland and Antarctica discharge into the ocean. This process has resulted in an acceleration in the rate of sea level rise during the last decades of the 20th century and the beginning of the 21st. This acceleration is expected to continue and might well get much worse. As a result mean sea levels are expected to rise by about a metre by the end of the century.

Because our civilisation has developed during a time of very stable sea levels much of our population and infrastructure is at or near sea level. Places that will be particularly affected will include low lying Pacific islands which may find themselves completely inundated by the end of the century, intensely settled river deltas such as Bangladesh and low lying coastal settlements such as the Florida Keys, and indeed much of Florida.

The main slogan for the Green Revolution is "grow more food." This movement aimed to increase agricultural productivity through the use of modern technology, such as high-yielding seeds and fertilizers, to address food shortages and hunger.

No, carbon dioxide is not typically used as rocket fuel. Rocket fuels are usually composed of more energetic compounds, such as liquid hydrogen or hydrazine, that can undergo combustion reactions to produce thrust. Carbon dioxide is a product of combustion rather than a fuel itself.

Not necessarily, as belief in evolution and belief in global warming don't really have anything to do with each other. That said, a person who believes in evolution is probably more likely to believe in global warming, as they tend to listen to what scientists say, and scientists are the biggest advocates for global warming being real.

Stopping the greenhouse effect would lead to a significant drop in global temperatures. This could disrupt ecosystems and weather patterns, with potential effects on agriculture, sea levels, and natural habitats. However, without the greenhouse effect, Earth would be much colder and possibly uninhabitable.

Deforestation is another human activity that is overloading the carbon cycle. When trees are cut down and burned or left to decompose, the carbon stored in them is released back into the atmosphere as carbon dioxide, contributing to the greenhouse effect and global warming.

Most of the heat from the Earth's surface is able to pass through the atmosphere. However, certain gases in the atmosphere, like carbon dioxide and water vapor, can trap some of this heat through a process called the greenhouse effect. This phenomenon helps regulate Earth's temperature and keep it habitable.
