What are some icons contributing to global warming?

Question

For example:

Factories,
Clearing forests,
SUVs/cars,
etc?

Answer 1

Global warming is the consequence of the greenhouse effect which in turn is the consequence of greenhouse gas emissions.

One of the primary causes of greenhouse gas emissions for which humans are responsible result from the burning of fossil fuels (coal, oil and gas) and much of the remainder results from farming and agricultural activities. Fossil fuels are used in power generation, to heat homes and offices, to power factories, to fuel transport and many more uses.

Other manmade causes of greenhouse gases include deforestation, fertilisers, air conditioning units, open fires, fridges and freezers, numerous industrial and chemical processes, fire suppressants, coal mining, effluent, landfill sites, livestock and rice cultivation.

There are several natural causes of greenhouse gases including volcanic activity, the seas and oceans, natural decay of plants and animals and the natural melting of ice caps.

Answer 2

This question reminds me that I have to do more research into anthropocentric Global Warming hypotheses. Global Warming is a fact, but whether we're making any real impact on it, I'm not sure I know that if we are a significant factor, the only way to reduce our impact involves massive decreases in all aspects of the economy, from factory production to farming to transport. Maybe this would be one area where the fundies are right - we'd need at least 2/3 of the world's population to disappear to make things right.

Answer 3

Solar -

Mars Polar Ice Caps are Melting -

Is that because of -
Martian SUV's?
Martian Cows passing gass?
Martian Deforestation?
Martian Coal Plants?
matrians burning Fossil Fuels?

Is there a Martian Al Gore that has a home which uses 50x the energy of a normal house hold fly across the country in private martian jets to tell the martians that their planet has a fever?

BTW - did you see that Corn Ethenal will create more SMOG then fossil fuels and 200 more people will die each year if the US switched from Fossil to Ethenal?

Answer 4

Shock wave disturbance and contamination of the earth's mesopause region, roughly 75-100 Km altitudes in the northern hemisphere.

Answer 5

volcanoes, forest fires
Note; Volcanoes put out more CO than all humans.
