what is the main thing bout global warming?

Question

what are people doing to make global warming larger and how can you prevent it from happening?

Answer 1

People are doing nothing to negatively or positively impact warming. GW is part of a normal cycle. Scientists have stated that the sun is what is causing the warming period, that CO2 follows a warming cycle and does not cause a warming cycle.

Now think about this possibility, lets say we could reduce warming just a bit, and we did, what do you think that would do when we have the next cooling cycle? If we mess around with this we could end causing an ice age, which while we can survive moderate warming, humans will not survive an ice age. So you have your choice, continue enjoying your lives, or act like chicken little and run around and screw up the normal cycle of warming and cooling.

Not certain where you get your information, but scientists not on the government take all state there is ZERO human influence on warming. Might I suggest you watch the Great Global Warming Swindle, it is an excellent production, the scientist that were on the IPCC panel are on there, telling the world that the IPCC report is a crock of lies, very good stuff, from real scientists who work in the field.

Answer 2

What people are doing to make the global warming larger is: that people are driving to places where they can walk,
turn on the heat or air conditioner when it's not needed,
hairspray: has weird gas that effects the earth,
people that doesn't know what they are doing to effect the earth.

To prevent the global warming, try to walk to places that you can walk to or bike. If you can, try carpooling, buses and subways. They are not as quick, but it can save the Earth.
Try not to turn the heat on. Put on a jacket or a coat on. If you are hot, then open up the windows.
Hairspray... I know that many women use that for beauty and things. Don't use them. That's all.
and another thing, tell others to do all the same to slow down the global warming.

Answer 3

the version in "greenhouse gases" quantities to approximately 3.14 W/m^2 advance in "forcing" on condition that 1750 (see CDIAC link). the full volume of the solar's warming totals 1353 W/m^2, so because it somewhat is approximately 0.23 %, up from 1750, the Little Ice Age. It exchange into extreme high quality to have issues heat up a fragment of a level on condition that that element, and those (14 % human; see cdiac link: FAQ #7) greenhouse gases (that are as a rule a results of the organic heat-up) have a minimum result, and commonplace climate variations have been exaggerated in the downstream media in accordance to their very own self-serving tendency in direction of sensationalism.

Answer 4

The main thing about global warming is that it cannot be stopped and we had all best get ready for the changes it is going to bring.

Answer 5

It is not happening look at the data. Some locations were colder this year than it has for 50 years ,but they would not accept that data as it didn't help there global warming.

Answer 6

Global warming is caused by increased levels of greenhouse gases. These include Carbon Dioxide (CO2), Methane (CH4) and Nitrous Oxide (NO2) and several others that are not naturally occuring. Water (H2O) is also a greenhouse gas, but the amount in the atmosphere is related to air temperature and falls out of the sky quickly if there is too much of it, so it acts as an amplifier to the other gases, rather than a primary cause.

Since the discovery of farming man has changed the balance between the amount of greenhouse gases absorbed by the biosphere and the amount released by it. This wasn't a significant problem while all we did was farm, since there is a certain amount of tolerance in the system. One group of scientists think that changes in land use and the adoption of farming (particularly animal husbandry) may have kept the planet warm enough to delay the onset of the next glacial period (we are currently in a warm interglacial between ice ages).

However, the progress made since the industrial revolution has lead to ever larger consumption of fossil fuels. These include gas, coal and oil. They are called fossil fuels because they were trapped underground for millions of years before we dug them up and started to use them. Burning them releases billions of tonnes of carbon (in the form of CO2) that has not been part of the carbon cycle for all this time into the atmosphere. The amount of CO2 in the atmosphere has risen from 280 parts per million (ppm) before the revolution to nearly 400ppm now.

With more CO2, the atmosphere becomes less transparent to certain wavelengths of infra red radiation. The sun's energy arrives at the earth in many wavelengths, but very little infra red. Ultra violet wavelengths are blocked by the ozone layer. visible light gets through, which is why we have evolved to see those wavelengths.

Infra red wavelengths are produced by any object that is hot, and are therefore sometimes loosely called 'heat radiation', so the land and oceans radiate infra red out towards space. If we had no greenhouse gases at all, all of the heat would be lost and the Earth would be a frozen ball of rock like Mars or the Moon. Since we have CO2 (amplified by H2O where the air is warm enough) the Earth is some 20 degrees C warmer than it would otherwise be.

But add more CO2 (and other gases) and the earth starts to trap more heat than before. The planet warms and weather gets more energetic (stormier, more droughts, more deluges, less predictability). At the same time, plants and animals that have evolved to form ecosystems within a specific climate regime start to die off as they are unsuited to the new and rapidly changing climate. Some species migrate, some die, some adapt, but large numbers of ecosystems will fall apart and cause any species that survive to lose resources they rely upon.

In the Permian extinction, thought by many to have been caused by 5 degrees of warming (plus an added 5 degrees when methane hydrates on the sea floor warmed up and turned from ice to gas) over 80,000 years resulted in the loss of around 95% of all living species in every habitat. It is highly doubtful that humans could survive in any great numbers if 95% of all the other species we rely on suddenly died out, and the timescale of this warming is one five hundredth of the timescale of that event. Faster means more dangerous, when it comes to climate change.

Preventing the worst effects of climate change means keeping the temperature rise below an as yet un-determined threshold. That point at which other factors, such as the drying out of the Amazon, or the melting of methane hydrate ice on the sea floor, or the melting of Siberian permafrost, add to the problem by releasing still more greenhouse gases and bumping up the temperature even more. Various estimates of a 'safe' temperature that we should not go beyond fall within the range of 'already too late' to about 3 degrees.

Say we decided to keep warming to less than two degrees. If all we did was stop burning fossil fuels, immediately, then the carbon dioxide already in the atmosphere would continue to warm the planet for another 50 years or more and we would still be in danger of breaching the 2 degree limit.

But we cannot stop burning fossil fuels immediately. It would cause our economies to collapse, and that would prevent us from harnessing the power of industry to do anything about our survival.

So we need to do the following:
1. Reduce the amount of energy we use in all aspects of our lives.
2. Phase out the energy supply that comes from fossil fuels as other sources (e.g. wind and solar) become available.
3. Find ways to take CO2 out of the atmosphere on an industrial scale significantly greater than the rate at which we are putting it in.
4. Plan ways to preserve ecosystems in artificial, protected environments so that biodiversity can be restored when the temperature comes down again.
5. Find ways to prevent billions from dying of thirst and hunger when their ecosystems collapse.

And all this has to be done as rapidly as possible on an international level as well as on a national and individual level.

Of course, it would help if we didn't have anti-environment neoconservatives in the whitehouse, intent on destroying the planet and bringing about the end of days.

Answer 7

when we use petroleum products which it releases carbondioxide and methane in the atmosphere.this gases have an ability to absorb heat so they absorb the heat of sun which would otherwise had reflected back to atmosphere.so the overall temp of earths atmosphere increases and it results in melting of ice caps at polar region which in case results to increase in the sea level and leads to submergence of land,so stop using petrolem products dat is oil,coal,gasoline,.........etc

Answer 8

this has happened for billions of years, over and over again, naturally. just mother nature. don't believe all the hype. just political moves. relax, things are good. the only way to solve the problem is to find another planet to live on before the next melt down...stared your question.
