Is global warming being caused by humans?

Answer 1

As said before by others, there's a natural cycle of warming and cooling. But the natural cycle is going a hell of a lot faster towards warming because of humans. Usually these temp changes take tens of thousands of years. Now the changes are going in the thousands or hundreds of years. Just look at a little data and think logically you idiots. Quit trying to be a smartass "Baller" I saw your other question.

Answer 2

Yes (mostly, not 100%). Because the scientific data says so.

"I wasn’t convinced by a person or any interest group—it was the data that got me. I was utterly convinced of this connection between the burning of fossil fuels and climate change. And I was convinced that if we didn’t do something about this, we would be in deep trouble.”

Vice Admiral Richard H. Truly, USN (Ret.)
Former NASA Administrator, Shuttle Astronaut and the first Commander of the Naval Space Command

The "skeptics" have "logical" arguments. What they don't have is data that matches the observed temperatures anything near as good as the above. Their theories are not numerically ("quantitatively") correct. Whuch is why:

"There's a better scientific consensus on this [climate change] than on any issue I know... Global warming is almost a no-brainer at this point. You really can't find intelligent, quantitative arguments to make it go away."

Dr. Jerry Mahlman, NOAA

Answer 3

Population growth affects our environment in many ways. The current global population growth rate outpaces even our best efforts to reduce carbon emmissions. Learn what can be done to address population pressures and improve the quality of life for people and wildlife. The current global population growth rate outpaces even our best efforts to reduce carbon emmissions. Learn what else can be done to bring this global problem under control, and what you can do to make a difference.

Every day, we each make choices that impact the earth's climate - and the future health and security of the world we all share. The actions we each take will determine whether or not we succeed in the fight against global warming.

Answer 4

global warming is a normal environmental process which is highly agravated by human beings,..
if u r refering to the crisis of global warming then yes,..it is caused by humans,..
we produce lots of co and co2 gases than the earth normally would and we cut down too many trees for the enviroment to decrease its co2 quotient. since these r the gases that coz the earth to warm up,...earth is warming up way too fast coz of human beings,..which has caused the current crisis.
what u need to know that the current state of the planet will take decades to get better,..we need to stop the pollution because the situation will get worse and fast.

Answer 5

yes and no. Global Warming is inevitable, but we as humans are contributing

Answer 6

Absolutly NOT!!!
It does NOT matter if humans are here or not, The Earth will continue to warm up and go through ice ages with or without humans.
If you look at the big picture you will see we are NOT a threat to Nature.

Answer 7

You make this statement like you don't believe man is natural.

Man doesn't cause warming. The sun does.

Answer 8

Yes!

Answer 9

Well - it is not being caused by aliens from outer space.

Answer 10

Yes,especially carbon emissions by American and Chinese factories.
