Is global warming the cause of changes in temperature?What caused global warming in the first place?

Question

Is global warming the cause of changes in temperature?What caused global warming in the first place?

Answer 1

CO2 from volcanoes erupting, plant respiration, coal and emissions from industry, vehicles etc. The North Atlantic current pushes warm water twords the surface thus pushing the cold water downward. Melting permafrost and ice shelves are effecting all life forms and unfortunately much life will become extinct.

Answer 2

ANOTHER SPECIE THAT OUR AIR FORCE SAYS DOES'NT EXISTS, LIKE AREA 51 USED TO BE. ONLY THEIR TRYING TO DESTROY ALL LIFE ON EARTH AND  large mammals in the oceans like 30 to 50 whales die of starvation due to not finding food that has more places to hide.

Answer 3

So many things influence weather and climate but global warming activists are too busy whining and complaining to actually study this from top to bottom.   They love their cause and their cause is their religion.

They are even in fields that have no association to or experience with climate and how it affects weather.  They simply want to cite studies that buttress their totally political positions.

They are even so rude as to attack people who disagree with them.   So,  I really get sick of it all.   Now some people are saying that being fat causes global warming.  I kid you not!!

Being a weather forecaster/meteorologist for almost 30 years,  I understand there is some warming going on as we speak,  but this does not mean that it will sustain itself.

I've listed some sites below and note the extreme rhetoric by the IPCC and their proponents.

Not all sites listed are pro global warming

Answer 4

Global warming is bad in that it's making otherwise intelligent people accept dangerous lines of thought and silly superstitions about cars, electricity, and energy use.  It's an excuse to raise taxes and enslave people economically.

Answer 5

It is created to bring about the global carbon tax .

Answer 7

global warming is false....in my opinion....however, the temperature of the earth has risen in the past 2 centuries by a whole 3 degrees...but guess what, it dropped 6 degrees in 4 decades!!!!

Answer 8

Yes.  Man made greenhouse gases, mostly carbon dioxide.

Scientists have PROVEN it's not the Sun.

There's a lot less controversy about this is the real world than there is on Yahoo answers:

http://www.worldpublicopinion.org/pipa/a...

And vastly less controversy in the scientific community than you might guess from the few skeptics talked about here:

http://www.sciencemag.org/cgi/content/fu...

EVERY major scientific organization has issued an official statement that this is real, and mostly caused by us.  The National Academy of Sciences, the American Association for the Advancement of Science, the American Institute of Physics, the American Chemical Society, the American Geophysical Union, the American Meteorological Association, etc.

Answer 9

well.......

global warming is caused by pollution of air.

The pollution of air causes the ozone layer to become thin.

If the ozone layer gets any thinner, we might all die by burning

because the ozone layer is protecting us from the harmfurl rays of the sun. hope this helps your question!! =D

Answer 10

Solar cycles. The earth has gone through heating and cooling cycles for thousands of years. Man made global warming is a scam designed to scare people into accepting higher taxes and government control over their lives.

Answer 11

yea its the cause

all the c02 in the air breaks down the ozone layer making it hotter in the summer and cooler in the winter

Answer 12

Global warming is causing an increase in the average global temperature.  It is hard to say that the temperature you see on the news tonight is high because of global warming because this is actually weather - not climate.  Repeated observations of weather make up climate.  This is splitting hairs to a lot of people but it is like looking at the age of everybody in your neighborhood.    The average age may be 25, but if you pick a person off the street and ask their age it may be 5, or maybe 45.  The average of the two is 25. It is meaningful if looking over time to look at how age is changing, but not very useful if you want to predict how old a specific person you get off the street of your neighborhood is.

Global warming is caused by many factors, climate cycles, natural emissions of greenhouse gases, solar cycles are some of the natural factors.  However, scientist have figured out what the temperature should be considering only natural factors and then have looked at the impact human have.  They have determined that human activity is a major contributor to global warming.  Is you take a gas the has a very powerful radiative forcing factor, pull it out of the ground in the form of fossil fuel, and pump billions of tons per year into the atmosphere for almost 100 years, it has an impact.

See the latest reports at the IPCC website.

http://www.ipcc.ch/

The IPCC has been trying to sort this out for ~20 years now and are the experts in the subject. They are from all different counties of the world, including the US.

Answer 13

Pollution causes it....(factories, cars, light bulbs.)  Yes, the global warming is affecting the temp. and so much more.

Answer 14

it is because it's affecting everything from temperature to natural catastrophes. global warming is caused by pollutants being released into the air and making a hole in the ozone layer above the north pole. The sun's rays have always been very strong but the ozone layer was blocking the UV rays (ultra violet). Now the UV rays are also affecting us because the can cause skin cancer. If we don't stop releasing pollutants than we're going to keep dissolving the ozone layer and it can't be replaced!!
