Physical laws are laws of chemistry, physics, or biology. I am trying to figure out how is manking disobeying these laws, and is global warming more the effect.

It's impossible to "disobey" the physical laws. These are not laws like the ones that say it's wrong to kill or steal; these laws are the ones that govern how matter itself behaves, how gravity works and so forth. Man hasn't suddenly started creating matter out of nothing or altering the effect of gravity. And even if we did, I fail to see what effect it would have on global warming.

Global Warming is the combined result of two factors:-
1. The Earth periodically undergoes cycles of cooling and warming due to small but significant variations in it's orbit and other related factors. We are currently in a "warming phase".
2. Pollution caused by Man, combined with deforestation has resulted in a depletion of the ozone layer and an increase in greenhouse gases which are causing an increase in temperature.

Neither of these factors in any way "disobey" the physical laws - in fact they are a good example of how the laws of chemistry, physics and biology work and interact.

The problem with physical Laws is that they cannot be broken. I think you mean what effects has man made chemicals had on Global Warming. The truth is we don't know for sure, there are alot of theories out there, and some sound very compelling, but no solid, sustainable proof. The earth could be in a warming cycle, just like in the middle ages, or it could be a man made change. We just don't know.

I would look into the Warm Period that occurred in the middle ages, if you are looking for a cool subject to write about, in the Global Warming debate. Not many know about it and it may be interesting to others.

It is impossible to disobey physical laws. Physical laws are not like man made laws that can be ignored by bad people. You cannot refuse to obey the law of gravity for example. Flying is not disobeying the law of gravity, it is just using other physical laws to move in an unusual way, but flight completely obeys the law of gravity.

We can't disobey these laws, we can only search and find new laws which maybe are not in compliance with old ones. Global warming is not related to scientifical research but to the way people are using it. It's not science's fault, it's people and their way to think's fault. Science can only repair mankind errors now, and don't blame science as every human want to discover, to communicate... That's inside us, we can't live without it.

I think, perhaps, what you mean is, not physical laws but natural laws or laws of nature?

If so, we aren't disobeying or breaking them as we are part of nature. We just so happen to be a part of nature that alters the conditions around us to our liking.
BTW, we are not the only ones that do this. However, no other animal does it to the degree that we do.

Yes physical laws are not laws in the human sense, as in something we can break, but actually a set of rules of how the universe and everything within it including mankind works.
They include things such as the laws of motion, how we move in response to a force etc. They cannot be broken.

The esteemed posters before me have pointed out that you cannot break a physical law. If you find a way to break a physical law then it is no longer a physical law.

HEAT ENERGY IS CONSISTANT TO WHAT WE ARE DOING EVERYDAY .......NOW IT SEEMS THE LIGHT BULB IS UNDER THE GUN FOR PRODUCING TOO MUCH HEAT
WHAT WE BURN WHETHER IT IS FOSSIL FUEL OR SMOG
STUDY THE GREENHOUSE EFFECTS ON ALL SITES OF MANUFACTURING PLANTS
IS ASPHALT EATING US UP BY DESTROYING TREES FOR PAPER I COULD GO ON TO KNOW ALL THE REASONS
RIGHT???
