Answer 3

Global warming is the increase of temperature of the earth that cause from certain problem. Green house effect is the main contributor to the global warming. This because human everyday release tones of carbon dioxide to the air causing the atmostphere of the earth is clouded with CO2. when the sunlight enter the earth's atmosphere it trap and cannot return back to outer space causing the earth's temperature increase because the excess heat from the sunlight.

there are many factors that cause the global warming but all of them are cause by us! the earth have it own mechanism how to balance it but human only know how to unbalance it...

Answer 4

Global warming is the average increase of the earth's temperature. The atmosphere (which is made up of different gases) keeps the earth warm by trapping heat from the sun. When too many of those gases are released into the atmosphere, it becomes too thick and too much heat is trapped, causing global warming.

Answer 5

Sometimes the weather isnt what you want, too hot or cold or rainy or calm or windy.  When that happens, remember how the weather always used to be great and consider what changed.  Realize that Bush is in office, and blame him.  Call it global warming.  The earth never used to have droughts forest fires, floods, hurricanes, earthquakes, heat waves, cold snaps, etc.  Now we do because Bush lets Americans go right on burning oil, just like he isn't the dictator.

Answer 6

There are many reliable web sites outlining global climate change and man's effects on this. These 2 are very good.

Answer 7

Some gases ("greenhouse gases") let sunlight in, which warms the Earth, and then block that heat from leaving. That's the "greenhouse effect", and it's a natural thing, mostly caused by water vapor.  It's like putting a blanket on the Earth.

Man is making excessive amounts of greenhouse gases, mostly by burning fossil fuels. That causes the delicate natural balance to go out of whack and the Earth warms. That's global warming.

Answer 8

Problem is, and especially with  enviro-whacko's, they use Global Warming...and Man-made Global Warming interchangeably ...which is wrong.... One simply points to the earths warming trend. The other actually affixes blame to man-kind.

Many have also made the assumption that this warming trend is bad for the planet and point to all the things they've seen in their own life time that isn't "normal" to them. Problem is, they have only had a short span of what ..30 years of their life to determine for themselves what is "normal" for a planet that is supposedly millions of years old.

So a precise and truthful definition might be;

A recognized and measureable trend of  the planets average temerature increasing.
