Do you believe humans or the sun is responsible for global warming?

Question

Its been said that the sun is responsible as all the planets in our solar system are experiencing global warming because of a cycle the sun goes through. What's your belief and have you felt more heat than usual?

Answer 1

Both.

The sun is responsible for warming up the earth.

It was created to have protection again the heat of the sun. However, humans have invented stuff that might cause the protection to decrease, thus, when the sun hit the earth, more of it's heat reach the earth. The end result is global warming.

If there is no sun, there will be no global warming. Of course, we probably freeze to death too.

Answer 2

I think that humans are the first reason for global warming. This is because we are the ones responsible for pollution. Pollution maganifies the sun's rays. It acts as a magnifier, because pollution is made up of gases, and the gases trap the sun's rays in the atmosphere. Ask any astonomer, they will tell you that how the planet Venus is, that is how Earth is going to be if we don't stop pollution that is creating global warming, or out planet is going to be scorching hot like Venus. Venus's atmosphere is made up of many gases, and the gases trap the sun's rays, they penetrate through the gases, then are trapped underneath them, and bounce around everywhere, heating up the atmosphere more and more.The sun is in it's natural state, I think it is not guilty of anything but just doing what it is naturally supposed to do, how could the sun be guilty? I think we humans are guilty because we are not cutting down, or at least stopping, the creation of pollution.

Answer 3

I have also heard of how the earth is wobbling on its axis thus changing the Earth climate systems and melting the ice caps. Right now this is in theory just as is the Global Warming and the Sun Cycle theories.

We do however need to find a way to reduce our need for so much energy by finding more efficient ways to satisfy our need for transportation, cooking and maintaining comfortable living conditions. (Common, the Internal Combustion Engine is really anchient tech) If we can stop our global warming, this will help us figure out what is happening by process of elimination.

Answer 4

I believe that both could be the cause of global warming, as if you will look at the history of the Earth does periodically go through warmer and cooler periods(IE: See the "The Little Ice Age"). However, humans over the last century have definitely contributed far more than their fair share of carbon monoxide, carbon dixide, and several other deadly gases, elements, and chemicals. Therefore, I believe it is a combination, but we are, in my opinion, doing more to bring this upon ourselves. As to your sub-question about feeling more heat than usual, I can answer than in a definite yes. I live in Northeast Texas, and we have hot summers and cold winters. We used to get 1 or 2 good snow days every year and some ice, but as of the last few years we've experienced far more ice and our seasons come later in the year than they used to, about 3 or 4 weeks later in fact. Additionally, 100 degree days are not unheard of here in the summer, but we have been getting streaks of up to 40-60+ days in the summers, which is fairly unusual. Another major point is that I can see that we have gotten much less precipitation in the last few years than we have in the past, droughts do occasionally occur, but over the past few years we have steadily come in under our annual rainfall predictions, usually by about 10 or so inches, the last two we have come it 20 and 25 inches under normal, however. Therefore, global warming is occurring, and the cause I believe is mostly humans, but the sun does play its role as well.

Answer 5

I say it's the Earth itself that is responsible for global warming.

The effect of the Sun is relatively small, let alone the effect of humans.

The Sun affect mostly the atmosphere, while humans affect mostly the surface they were standing on (which is around 1000 square kilometers for the whole population).

The Earth affect the whole Earth, including the atmosphere and humans.



Personally, last year I felt quite colder than usual.

Answer 6

humans are responsible for global heating. the gas release from factory, vehicles...causing the heat can't release into space. Sun can be responsible for this but it still needs few hundred or thousands of years to make Earth like an oven.

Answer 7

It could be both of them. The earth has gone through many climatic changes in the last thousands of years (including some mini-ice ages) which probes that the earth has experiences climatic cycles. However, scientist affirm that pollution created by mankind also cause global warming. I wouldn't deny any of the two reasons.

Answer 8

Why, it is not absurd in any respect. And sorry, yet i'm able to empirically refute your declare -- we are able to objectively degree how close Helios drives the chariot of the solar to earth, and it hasn't replaced critically over the final 3 hundred or so years. :) Peace.

Answer 9

actually i blame the gases produced by the machines and other smoke producing materials that we(humans) create which causes the ozone layer to be thinner. i dont blame the sun. it was already there before every machineries and stuffs were created. :)

Answer 10

Yes!!! I belive people is part of the problem!! Including the sun!!!
