How did people cause global warming? Or is it just the environment changing?

Question

Why?

Answer 1

Global climate change is happening because the Suns getting hotter. Its actually has nothing to do with us physically and is all about us spiritually. The earth needs all her ice to melt and alot of things to die so she can reconfigure herself into a better place and be able to prepare for when she herself ignites and becomes a star. Yes, the earth will one day become a star not unlike the sun. Its part of the natural evolution of Stars

Answer 2

Much of the media attention is on CO2 as the lone culprit in global warming.  But we must not forget that water vapor, methane, nitrous oxide, ozone and CFC's are greenhouse gases also.

Now, let's see how this vicious cycle starts.  All mammals which respire aerobically (take in oxygen) give off CO2 and water vapor as the 2 primary byproducts of aerobic respiration.  This is referred to as the Krebs/Citric Acid Cycle.

Aerobic Respiration:

C6H12O6 + oxygen --> 6 CO2 + 6 H2O + ATP (energy)

So, the more mammals--pets, farm animals, birds, bats, furry creatures and just about all animals/creatures on our planet--the more water vapor and CO2 they add to the atmosphere.  As long as they have lungs and can respire aerobically, they contribute 24/7.  They also give off methane gas, another potent greenhouse gas.  Getting rid of all the mice in the world would probably alleviate the flooding somewhat.

Water vapor and CO2 are byproducts of COMBUSTION:

Butane C4H10 + 6.5 O2 --> 4 CO2 + 5 H2O

Water vapor, CO2 and methane are also byproducts of metabolism.  The more sugary and high fat oils and foods consumed, the more water vapor, CO2 and methane we add to the atmosphere:

Table Sugar (sucrose):

C12H22O11 + 12 Oxygen --> 12 CO2 + 11 H2O + energy (ATP)

Vegetable Oils:

C57H104O8 + 79 O2 --> 57 CO2 + 52 H2O + energy (ATP)

Vegetables and grains:

C6H10O5 + 6 Oxygen --> 6 CO2 + 5 H2O + energy (ATP)

Proteins:

Proteins + Oxygen --> CO2 + H2O + urea + ammonia + energy (ATP)

Fermentation processes such as brewing beer, making wine, etc. give off CO2.  Tornados arise from the spinning motion of the Earth, known as the Coriolis Effect, and CO2 feeds it.  Take a 2 liter bottle of Sprite, spin it around, and a funnel cloud will form, this is because CO2 is miscible in water.

Unfortunately, the Earth can be likened to a fishbowl, it just fills up with water unless some of it is removed. Write/petition your space agency to ship potable bottled water to the moons and Mars.  Terraforming and bioforming a moon or planet takes time. Bioforming is a new concept of using mammals to create a rich and thick atmosphere since they produce water vapor, CO2 and METHANE gas. All 3 are potent greenhouse gases which can regulate temperature extremes, at the same time it'll build a rich and thick atmosphere.  Pretty soon, it'll be flooding on Mars.

Answer 3

Carbon Dioxide from Power Plants

Carbon Dioxide Emitted from Cars

Carbon Dioxide from Airplanes

Carbon Dioxide from Buildings

"Global warming is real; the risks it poses are real; and the American people have a right to know it and a responsibility to do something about it. The sooner Congress understands that, the sooner we can protect our nation--and our planet--from increased flood, fire, drought, and deadly heat waves." President Bill Clinton, July 25, 1998.

Answer 4

driving big cars & trucks.

Answer 5

Global warming and the fact that humans are behind it has plenty of evidence. Look around, it's not hard to find.

Yes, the environment changes naturally.

No, global warming is not just that.

Yes, the scientists take natural changes into account when presenting their global warming models.

Answer 6

There are natural causes that lead to global warming, but humans have altered the natural cycle and are causing global climate change throughout the planet.  Greenhouse gases, including carbon dioxide and methane, have overwhelmed the Earth's atmosphere's and oceans.

We are not living sustainably.  We don't calculate and pay the total costs of producing an item.  If the way we do business had been set up properly back when, we might not have this problem today.

A few sites for you to gather some facts.  The next few years are watershed years for this issue.

Answer 7

Supposedly people caused global warming by releasing heat and greenhouse gases into the air, and by depleting the ozone layer. I think it's the environment changing. We haven't been burning fossil fuels for very long in the history of the earth. Also, we haven't been measuring the temperature of the earth for very long, so the scientists predictions of the earths climate a long time ago could just be wrong. Also, if the earths temperature doesn't change like that, then where did the ice age come from? That's why I think it's either a hoax, or changing environment.

Answer 8

There is now something like 40% more CO2 in the atmosphere than there was before the beginning of industrialisation.  This has been caused by burning fossil fuels.

Some people still maintain that this has nothing to do with the observed warming, but the evidence for human influence has been getting stronger every year for decades.

Answer 9

Both

It will happen eventually but it is faster then it's suppose too which will change things

People caused it because the C02 and by cutting downs trees, etc

Eviromentally because the earth is going more in a circular motion around the sun coming close it happens every like 10,000 years or something
