what are the reasons and effects of global warming?

Answer 1

Unfortunately Answers doesn't accept long answers so I need to refer you to a website that contains a condensed and simplified version of a report I wrote which was published a few months ago.

Here's the reasons behind global warming http://profend.com/global-warming/pages/causes.html and here are the effects now http://profend.com/global-warming/pages/effects.html and in the future http://profend.com/global-warming/pages/future.html

Answer 2

There is no manmade global warming. The same people said in 1970 that there was global cooling, then over population. It is all a scam. It is just a reason to tax people. Think about it the earth has been around for 4-6 billion years. Think about all the volcanoes in that time. There is 1billion times the pollution from volcanoes than anything we could have done over the past 150 years. It is vanity to think we can control the climate by driving a prius or changin light bulbs.

Answer 3

We use chloro fluoro carbons(CFC) which are released when we use refrigerators, air-conditioners & spray cans in the atmosphere. CFCs are lighter than air, they rise higher & higher in the atmosphere. Because the earth is constantly rotating they get concentrated at the North & South pole and get mixed with the ozone layer. The suns UV rays break the CFCs and release chlorine atoms which can react with the ozone molecules and destroy them.A single chlorine atom can destroy thousands of ozone molecules creating a hole in the ozone layer. These holes can allow the penetrattion of harmful UV rays through atmosphere causing skin cancers and other related diseases.


The another reason for global warming is,carbondi oxide & other gases in the earths atmosphere trap the waves of suns heat as the rays bounce off the earths surface.Without this heat trap , the earths average temperature would be as low as minus 24 degree celsius instead of what it is now minus 16 degree celusis. But when too much carbon di oxide builds up in the atmosphere due to more and more pollution caused by exhaust gases, furnances, industries, burning forests, it results into more heat being trapped. Thats why we feel the climate is getting hotter & hotter each year.

Here are the proportions of it:

The major factors are:
Positive RF sources. (Sources that warm the Earth)
CO2 +1.66 W/m2.
CH4 +0.48 W/m2.
N2O +0.16 W/m2.
Halocarbons +0.337 W/m2.
Tropospheric Ozone +0.35 W/m2.
Black carbon on snow + 0.10 W/m2.
Linear contrails + 0.010 W/m2.
Solar irridiance + 0.12 W/m2.

Negative RF sources. ( sources that cool the Earth)
Land use - 0.20 W/m2.
Aerosols (direct and cloud effect) - 0.50, - 0.70 W/m2.


The combined anthropogenic RF is +1.6 [ -1.0, +0.8] W/m2.
The combined natural RF ( solar irridiance, volcanic aerosols) is + 0.12 [-0.06, +0.18].

* RF is defined as the change in net irridiance at the Tropopause (boundary between Troposphere and Stratosphere).

All measurements are showing the difference in RF between 1750 (preindustrial), and current (2005).

Radiative forcing is a measurement of how strong the factors that influence Earths climate by altering its energy balance are. A positive forcing increase the energy which will lead to a warming while a negative forcing reduces the energy and leads to a cooling.

Answer 5

;-{} There truly is no real "REASON"!?! It's mostly the industrial that keep doing things such as when burning fossil fuels as they call them !?! & or things like forest fires,a factory that makes toxic crap that goes up chimneys, rises up above the clouds depleting some of this planets protective bubble/like gases!?! Pretty soon many here on Earth will get the mental & physical negative affects of what it'll be like to float `roind in DEEP~DARK outer-space without a space-suit on !! ;-`{ & since all of that

Answer 6

the green house effect is the main reason and the effects- we will see

Answer 7

Population growth is the main cause. Stupid self-absorption and addiction to convenience is a secondary one.

Answer 8

IT IS SO OBVIOUS! THE REASON OF THE GFLOBAL WARMING BECAUSE OF GOOD OLD STANLEY STEAMER AND THE EFFECT IS GRILLLLLLEEEEED CHEEESE AND TATERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! thats all u gotta do bud is believe!
