Question

What is causing global warming and how can we help?

Answer 1

Global warming is a natural phase of Earth, caused by some Solar Activities by Sun. We human don't have to bother about it. Some of the environmentalist says that this is because of the CO2 we are emitting into the environment, but the reality is that we are just contributing towards 1% to 10% of actual global warming.

If the actual cause of Global Warming is CO2 emitted by the humans then why Global Warming occures on other planets. Just Google for "Global Warming on other planets" and see the results, there are no humans on other planets.

Having too little CO2 in the environment will cause for the plants to die more early, more over it also cools down the temperature on earth.

Having too much CO2 (obiviously, not caused by humans. Mostly generated in the Sea/Oceans) will lead to Green House effect and will lead in increasing the temperature on Earth.

So, the best is to plant more trees so that there would be a balance for the consumption of CO2 on the planet.

I personally think that instead of thinking on this baseless issue try to think on what if Nuclear War broke out in the world, it will destroy Earth more rapidly.

So, next time whenever somebody says you about global warming, just ignore it.

Answer 2

The Sun is causing it. Besides, the Earth is only trying to get back to the "normal" temperatures that were here before the last Ice Age!

Answer 3

The earth is naturally warming up. We are not the cause of it, that's just Al Gore's S**t.

Answer 4

Solar activity is causing it. We can't do anything to help it. It doesn't need help, it is part of a natural process. Keep in mind that only 2% of CO2 is man made. So, even if we (humans) never existed it would pretty much be the same environment as we see it now.

Answer 5

I don't understand how many people inn this forum seem to enjoy being ignorant...

Yes, the sun is the main source of heat. Yes, there have been periods when the planet was warmer and periods when it was cooler. This is not the issue.

The issues are:

1 - The planet is in equilibrium; it doesn't take much (that 1% from humans!) to push it over the edge (a person can stand on one leg for a long time but they're r-e-a-l  easy to push over!)

2 - The change is not uniform; quoting particular weather (and weather isn't climate folks!) conditions in one small corner of the planet for one year is totally irrelevant. Its the trend, the average, the big picture and there are plenty of examples of those (number of record heat waves, number of large hurricanes, number of floods, number of droughts...)

3 - The speed of the change: Yes, the world has been warmer before but we are making it warmer 200-1000x faster; no time to adapt or get out of the way!

Answer 6

READ UP ON SUNSPOTS and what effect they have on earth do some research on Maunder minimum

—A period between 1645 and 1715 when the solar activity cycle operated at a greatly reduced level.

In 2000 we peaked on the sunspot scale and now we are at the bottom of the scale and that is why or global temp has dropped 1 C in the last years.

Answer 7

The Sun...... and it does not need any help.

Answer 8

who cares whats causing it

we just need solutions

why waste our time on how we got here

all that matters is that without us doing something to stop the changes, we are ALL SCREWED

Answer 9

The US really needs to start spending more money on educating it's population.

The Sun? You people are daft. How many metric tons of garbage to we just blissfully throw into the sky? And that has NOTHING to do with it?

You people have been a superpower long enough....time to get out of the pool!

Answer 10

You are all Wrong!!!!  Chuck Norris is causing it because he has gas and his farts wreck havoc.  He is just that powerful!

enough said.

Answer 11

Harmful gases cause the greenhouse effect causing the Earth to warm up. I believe the gases are carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, and methane. Others, might also play a role too - but that is all that I remember from geography class. It is all sumed up here Reuse, Reduce, Recycle.

Answer 12

Convince the sun to stop heating up.
