What causes global warming?

Question

The worlds militaries? The criminal justice systems?, it's an industry that communities fight over, who gets the prison, (typical). Make work jobs, jobs created in the name of safety. Auto racing? Well all racing, we race everything that has a motor on it, all year long, every day some where. Sports of every type? go figure, from the day the event is planned, the hot dogs, programs, air travel, lighting, dot, dot, dot, to the final words of the sportscasters. What are we going to give up? Even if we all drive hybrid, what do you think after you connect all the dots?????Kyoto indeed..smoke and mirrors. Politicians have to give the people what they want or they won't get elected, or re-elected, so even if they use Kyoto it's not going to do the job anyway, and it is just a distraction. No one is going to change, because "It will affect my joy, or my job". "I won't be here for the crash" To save our earth? World peace, get rid of money, But sorry it's not going to happen.

Answer 1

Carbon Dioxide from Power Plants :
In 2002 about 40% of U.S. carbon dioxide emissions stem from the burning of fossil fuels for the purpose of electricity generation. Coal accounts for 93 percent of the emissions from the electric utility industry.
Carbon Dioxide Emitted from Cars .
Carbon Dioxide from Trucks .
About another 13% of U.S carbon dioxide emissions comes from trucks used mostly for commercial purposes.
Carbon Dioxide from Airplanes:
The UN's Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change estimates that aviation causes 3.5 percent of global warming, and that the figure could rise to 15 percent by 2050.
Carbon Dioxide from Buildings :
Buildings structure account for about 12% of carbon dioxide emissions.
Methane
While carbon dioxide is the principal greenhouse gas, methane is second most important. According to the IPCC, Methane is more than 20 times as
effective as CO2 at trapping heat in the atmosphere. US Emissions Inventory 2004 Levels of atmospheric methane have risen 145% in the last 100 years. [18] Methane is derived from sources such as rice paddies, bovine flatulence, bacteria in bogs and fossil fuel production. Most of the world’s rice, and all of the rice in the United States, is grown on flooded fields. When fields are flooded, anaerobic conditions develop and the organic matter in the soil decomposes, releasing CH4 to the atmosphere, primarily through the rice plants. US Emissions Inventory 2004

Nitrous oxide :
Another greenhouse gas is Nitrous oxide (N2O), a colourless, non-flammable gas with a sweetish odour, commonly known as "laughing gas", and sometimes used as an anaesthetic. Nitrous oxide is naturally produced by oceans and rainforests. Man-made sources of nitrous oxide include nylon and nitric acid production, the use of fertilisers in agriculture, cars with catalytic converters and the burning of organic matter. Nitrous oxide is broken down in the atmosphere by chemical reactions that involve sunlight.

Deforestation :
After carbon emissions caused by humans, deforestation is the second principle cause of atmospheric carbn dioxide. (NASA Web Site) Deforestation is responsible for 25% of all carbon emissions entering the atmosphere, by the burning and cutting of about 34 million acres of trees each year. We are losing millions of acres of rainforests each year, the equivalent in area to the size of Italy. [22] The destroying of tropical forests alone is throwing hundreds of millions of tons of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere each year. We are also losing temperate forests. The temperate forests of the world account for an absorption rate of 2 billion tons of carbon annually. [3] In the temperate forests of Siberia alone, the earth is losing 10 million acres per year.
City Gridlock :
Cities are tolerating gridlock. In 1996 according to an annual study by traffic engineers [as reported in the San Francisco Chronicle December 10, 1996] from Texas A and M University, it was found that drivers in Los Angeles and New York City alone wasted 600 million gallons of gas annually while just sitting in traffic. The 600 million gallons of gas translates to about 7.5 million tons of carbon dioxide in just those two cities.

Carbon in Atmosphere and Ocean :
The atmosphere contains about 750 billion tons of carbon, while 800 billion tons are dissolved in the surface layers of
the world's oceans.

Most dangerous is CFCs(chlorofluorocarbon)(freons).

Answer 2

no one knows where heat comes from,
an in the 60s people first started getting air conditioners which only trap heat in cool water and take it out side,
and in the late 70s everyone noticed the climate changed
but 100 years ago people used blankets and a fire place and in the early to mid of the last century every one had heaters by then, and when everyony had a air conditiner which all friction causes heat, everyone one made heat all the time and at the same time the climates are really fall off balance so people think that they are going to turn the planet to till 1000s of degrees,

but im sure that with everyone alway useing electricity that would normally be in the ground and the side effects of all the personal machines, aside i,m pretty confident, that it really is just everyone taking care of them selves instead of livivng like animalsd
like they did till about 1900=1960

then in the80s they had all color tv and more than 5 channels, they had a 100.

and cars all got air conditioners standard,

Answer 3

having an increase in Global Warming Machines( thats what my ex calls them ) had to say that over the last 20 years. Now half of the vehicles on the Road are SUV or Trucks or Vans which put out 30 % more emissions than cars do. Do the math. That is major factor in the calculation though there are others no doubt.

Answer 4

international warming turns into international cooling simply by fact once you have invested a huge quantity of power faking, forging, manipulating information and advertising the fake thought that CO2 motives a international temperature upward push however the information starts off to instruct a cooling style then you definately pull the old switcheroo and with any luck desire anybody is so innovations broken by utilising the actual pollution, mercury, lead, fluoride and Fox information that their soft minds may even settle for that its conceivable. the actuality is obviously grow to be that there grow to be no actual guy-made international warming first of all, and any reasonable warming grow to be thoroughly organic. international temperature is pushed particularly by utilising photograph voltaic pastime, and photograph voltaic flare pastime is now at a low so the planet is truly at the instant cooling after an ever so reasonable upward push. So the respond is..... it can not. One would not reason the different the temperature in simple terms fluctuates counting on photograph voltaic pastime.

Answer 5

The best scientific evidence is that Climate Change (Miscalled global warming) is a normal cycle that we MIGHT be having some impact on. However, the real, honest scientists are not convinced yet because they realize how little we really understand about the climate.

I find it really interesting that most reputable news organizations have dropped the term global warming and use Climate Change instead. It is a much more accurate term and makes them sound like they actually know what they are talking about.

Answer 6

I thought it was the whole in the ozone that was caused by aerosol products. It is causing the polar ice caps to melt and the sea level is rising. We also have been having warmer weather where I'm from in the last 10 years it seems as though summer lasts from June to September and then late in October it starts getting colder until May now - used to be March.

Answer 7

Something that causes Global Warming is the over population of humans, Also of gases of greenhouses. The Automobiles are also a big problem because of theirs gas. Along with many company's of oil and stuff like that.

Answer 8

Your talking way too much leads to most of the global warming.

Answer 9

thin ozone layer.....

Answer 10

Cow farts!
