What are the Causes of Global warming - 0 views

It’s a scientifically proven “Fact,” that over the past century, our planet has slowly been warming up. Since the beginning of the 20th century, the average temperature around the world has gradually risen by one degree fharenheit.While this minimal warming might not seem all that significant, the truth is, according to Climatic Specialists all around the globe, the over-all impact will most certainly prove to be devastating if this continual warming process is not somehow ebated. Scientists have been busily searching and studying in order to determine precisely what the primary, “key factors” are behind this progressive “heating up” process. Here’s what they have come up with thus far:

The Main Causes of Global Warming (Manmade & Nature) To the surprise of many out-spoken environmentalists, it, in fact, turns out mankind and technology actually aren’t the only significant causes of global warming. There actually are a wide variety of 100%, ‘all natural” causes, ranging from volcanic eruptions, solar radiation and natural thawing of the Earths “permafrost” and glaciers. In other words, the planet’s temperature, just like most other things in life and natural science, simply tends to fluctuate through natural, rhythmic, “ebbs and flows” and highs and lows that are caused and by sources within the planet itself, as well as the vacillating environment of the solar system and universe that we are passively passing through. However, before we start to get too comfortable and confidently assume that we as human beings are officially “off the hook,” the fact remains that several “man made” causes play a significant role in our current, global warming trend. Welcome to the Greenhouse. Yes, the “Greenhouse” effect may very well be the most popular new term utilized in environmental circles and it’s time people really begin to understand exactly what it is, what it does and what we can do about it.

What Are Greenhouse Gases Greenhouse gases, being lighter than air, naturally rise up the outer limits of the earth’s atmosphere and then settle there, creating an impenetrable barrier that traps heat from being able to escape into space, holding it hostage within our environment and warming the temperature in the process. It is feared that unless we change our ways, getting smarter about our greenhouse gas emissions, they could increase an addition 5 to 9% over the next hundred years and lead to some very serious problems maintaining a comfortable and healthy life on Earth. So where does this greenhouse gas come from and what other culprits are responsible for our “global warming” problems?
