Has Population Growth Been a Contributing Factor to Global Warming?

Question

The title speaks itself

If so can I have some stats and statatics

Answer 1

Contributing factor? Probably. But major overall contributing factor? I think not.

The earth has gone thru heating and cooling long before cars and even humans so it cant be all us.

Answer 2

('global warming' due to the enhanced greenhouse effect and ocean acidification) are proportional to (carbon emissions, which are proportional to efficiency x consumption per capita x population) - absorption by biosphere (inversely proportional to deforestation, which is proportional to population x consumption per capita) - absorption by oceans ( inversely proportional to temperature and alkalinity).

sorry that looks much less complicated as a proper formula.

Answer 3

* There is no "scientific consensus" on global warming

* Climate is always changing – with or without man

* The Medieval Warm Period was significantly warmer than temperatures today – and was a golden age for agriculture, innovation, and lifespan

* Most of Antarctica is actually getting colder

* Hurricanes are not getting worse – our tendency to build houses in their path is getting greater

* Many big businesses lobby for global warming policies that will increase their profits – and our costs

* The media only recently abandoned the "global cooling" scare

* The real agenda behind the "global warming" scare? A massive expansion of government control over the economy and our lives

Answer 4

Absolutely!

Answer 5

Sounds like someone wants us to do there homework for them. I can't do it........not for free anyway. lol

Answer 6

YES IT IS. BIG POPULATION LEADS TO MORE POLLUTION. IF THERES A BIG POPULATION THERE WILL LOTS OF GARBAGE. I THINK IT IS A GREAT FACTOR WHY WE EXPERIENCE GLOBAL WARMING.

Answer 7

No....dont believe it one bit.....Its all down to atomic bomb testing or our planets magnetic fields are changing bringing adverse weather.....Perhaps we are entering a new phase in the planets evolution....

Something has made the weather change over the last 40 years....and I put it down to big bomb testing. We have been knocked off our orbital route by a degree and its having an extreem affect on our weather.
