Naturally Occurring Warming and Cooling ProcessesFirst, you should understand the primary natural causes of global warming:Volcanic EruptionsLarge volcanic eruptions can throw so much dust into the sky that the dust acts as a shield to solar radiation and causes a cooling trend in the atmosphere. You probably can’t remember such an eruption as they are rare and infrequent occurances.SunspotsChanges in the Earth’s solar radiation levels can have some impact on the Earth’s climate. Increased solar activity can cause short-term warming cycles on the Earth.The Wobbly EarthAs the Earth spins, it does not achieve perfect rotation. It actually wobbles slightly, thus alternately exposing the northern and southern latitudes to more and less solar radiation. This wobble in the Earth’s rotation has been causing changes in the temperature of the atmosphere for many millions of years.Humans Are a More Dangerous Cause of Global WarmingNow that you understand the natural causes, it is important to look at the human causes. While the changes in solar activity and the Earth’s rotation are natural events that have been occurring for many millennia, there is clear scientific consensus that global warming is real and that humans are part of the problem. [1] In fact, 1998-2007 was a record-breaking decade for the average surface temperature on earth, which cannot be explained by natural causes alone. [2]
