What/who are the main contributors to Global Warming?

Answer 1

The Sun is what contributes all warmth to Earth.

Answer 2

The biggest overall contributor comes from power generation, this accounts for almost a quarter of the contribution to manmade global warming. This is because most power stations burn oil, coal or gas. These are fossil fuels and give of substantial amounts of carbon dioixide gas when burned. The mining, extraction, refining and processing of these fuels is also a significant contributor in that these processes produce methane, nitrous oxide and carbon dioixide.

The biggest single contributor is deforestation which accounts for a little under a fifth of the manmade contribution to global warming. Forests are cleared for many reasons, especially in the developing nations. Some reasons for forest clearance include provision of grazing land or land for crops, housing, firewood, building materials, commercial timber harvesting, road and river projects etc. When the trees are felled they are no longer able to remove carbon dioixide from the atmopshere and at the same time, if the timber is burned or allowed to rot then the stored carbon is released back into the atmopshere. It wouldn't be so bad if things were in balance and felled trees were replaced with new ones but in many places this doesn't happen.

The other major contributors are transportation in all forms - fuel for cars, planes, ships, trains etc, this is mainly carbon dioxide. The agriculture industry is another major contributor and the single biggest contributor of both methane and nitrous oxide gases. The other major contributor are factories and industrial processes and again, it's mainly carbon dioxide that these produce.

Answer 3

Carbon dioxide levels interior the ambience improve AFTER the temperature is going up. subsequently it is not plausible for carbon emissions to reason worldwide warming - they seem to be a byproduct of it. It follows that human beings are not from now on inflicting worldwide warming, although if that's actual that worldwide warming is happening. the reason being the sunlight hours. the solar is putting out extra skill whilst in comparison with 3 hundred years interior the previous, so the earth is warming up. the worry is that some worldwide places are being asked to shrink emissions and tax their human beings to attempt against worldwide warming, on a similar time because it won't make a brilliant difference. It won't even make a brilliant difference to pollutants because of the fact now no longer each u . s . a . is going to shrink carbon emissions. interior the 1970's we've been pronounced that we confronted an imminent ice age if we did no longer replace the way we are residing. It by way of no skill exceeded off. we additionally are being pronounced we are able to be residing in a one million/2 flooded barren area worldwide in 50 to a minimum of a hundred years, yet you will no longer have the skill to reliably anticipate the climate by way of extra acceptable than 2 weeks in improve. Human delivered approximately worldwide warming is a con. we would desire to constantly be doing subject concerns to assist our environment (like recycling) although if the in straightforward words way worldwide warming will end is on a similar time as photograph voltaic activity decreases returned, which it is going to.

Answer 4

Well, with the population of the world being 6 billion, I think it is ignorant to think we don't have anything to do with global warming (or if you prefer, climate change).

Yes, there is proof that this happened in the past, however most scientist agree that it is happening at a MUCH FASTER RATE than in the past and when it happened before, there was not a world population like there is now.

How anyone can believe with all the waste and pollution that 6 Billion people put off doesn't effect the enviroment is beyond me.

Probably only gas-guzzling high school dropouts can believe that humans have NO EFFECT on the earth.

Answer 5

Nature itself -the earth. Breaking it down a little. . . the tilt of the earth as it orbits the sun; the deep oceanic ridges that grow and displace water causing the sea level to rise somewhat -also, the melting of ice sheets causing the sea level to rise; the ocean currents that bring warm water to various parts of the earth -the Gulf Stream for instance that brings warm water currents to Northern Europe; the reduction of plant life especially forests that absorb CO2, volcanic activity, and much much more.

Answer 6

The SUN is primary heat source and that varies with Changing Emissions from the Sun = Solar Winds, X-Ray emissions, Sun Spots that elevate UV emissions, protons, electrons, etc. etc.
You can see the many different emissions here:

The Secondary heat source is from under the Earth's VERY THIN CRUST (about 25 miles thick - thin compared to the 7900+ miles diameter). The temperature at the top of earth's mantel is 1600 degrees working up to 9000 degrees in the Cores. Some of that heat works it's way through the Crust.
Go here to understand the heat beneath us:

The ALARMISTS have a Bogus Heat Reflectivity THEORY:
The heavier CO2 molecule which is normally absorbed in oceans or soil - are completely saturated with the heat from the SUN within just a few feet of the earth's surface.

Answer 7

Easy question for you to answer. Go outside on a bright sunny day, then look up at the big bright light in the sky. That is your answer.

Answer 8

This is easy. Since global warming is a cyclical event (every 1500 years), I would have to say that time and the sun are the contributors.

To think that we have had much, if any, impact, on the event, or, that we could reverse or stop this event, is arrogant.

Period.
