Question

What is global warming>?

Answer 1

the increase of the earths temperature...

just google it.

Answer 2

Global warming is the increase in the average measured temperature of the Earth's near-surface air and oceans since the mid-20th century, and its projected continuation.

The average global air temperature near the Earth's surface increased 0.74 ± 0.18 °C (1.33 ± 0.32 °F) during the 100 years ending in 2005.[1] The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) concludes "most of the observed increase in globally averaged temperatures since the mid-twentieth century is very likely due to the observed increase in anthropogenic (man-made) greenhouse gas concentrations" via an enhanced greenhouse effect. Natural phenomena such as solar variation combined with volcanoes probably had a small warming effect from pre-industrial times to 1950 and a small cooling effect from 1950 onward.

Answer 3

Think of "global warming" as a shepherd in a pasture.  As he walks, there are millions of aimless sheep following.

Answer 4

it's what the name implies. our earth is slowly heating up. mostly due to air pollution. it weakens our ozone layer so more of the sun's heat and radiation are being let in and heating the earth. and the green house effect is trapping the heat w/ us. eventually we r all gonna die because of these problems and similar ones. i don't tihnk there is a way to stop it from happening, just prolonging it.

Dear Al Snore, eat my carbon.

Answer 6

Global warming...

basically, it's the heating of the Earth's atmosphere in a global scale. THe main cause of it is the presence of excessive greenhouse gases that traps solar heat energy inside the earth.

the effects of global warming could mean drastic changes on the climate of different biomes on earth, especially those found on the poles and the aquatic ecosystems...

Answer 7

Global warming is a natural phenomenon that Al Gore is trying to make a buck off of.

The volcano that erupted in the Alution Islands a week ago probably put more global warming gasses into the atmosphere than NYC does in a decade.

The only thing that tree huggers can debate is just how much mankind is accelerating the process.
