Global Warming Causes, Climate Change Causes - National Geographic - 0 views

  • What Causes Global Warming?
  • The only way to explain the pattern is to include the effect of greenhouse gases (GHGs) emitted by humans.
  • To bring all this information together, the United Nations formed a group of scientists called the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, or IPCC. The IPCC meets every few years to review the latest scientific findings and write a report summarizing all that is known about global warming.

  • One of the first things scientists learned is that there are several greenhouse gases responsible for warming, and humans emit them in a variety of ways.
  • Most come from the combustion of fossil fuels in cars, factories and electricity production. The gas responsible for the most warming is carbon dioxide, also called CO2. Other contributors include methane released from landfills and agriculture (especially from the digestive systems of grazing animals), nitrous oxide from fertilizers, gases used for refrigeration and industrial processes, and the loss of forests that would otherwise store CO2.
