  • Question: What Causes Global Warming?Answer: Scientists have determined that a number of human activities are contributing to global warming by adding excessive amounts of greenhouse gases to the atmosphere. Greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide accummulate in the atmosphere and trap heat that normally would exit into outer space.
  • driving cars, using electricity
  • While many greenhouse gases occur naturally and are needed to create the greenhouse effect that keeps the Earth warm enough to support life, human use of fossil fuels is the main source of excess greenhouse gases. By driving cars, using electricity from coal-fired power plants, or heating our homes with oil or natural gas, we release carbon dioxide and other heat-trapping gases into the atmosphere. Deforestation is another significant source of greenhouse gases, because fewer trees means less carbon dioxide conversion to oxygen.

      driving cars, using electricity, and heating homes with oil/natural gas = keywords! (or sentence, I guess.)

global warming record

  • Carbon pollution is the main reason our planet is getting hotter, increasing the chances of weather disasters, drought and flood and hurting our health. There are solutions. For starters, we can cut carbon pollution by reducing our dependence on fossil fuels and increasing our use of clean, renewable energy. And we can implement policies that help us prepare for flooding, drought, storms and other consequences of climate change. But first, we need national leadership that will stop ignoring what the earth and scientists are telling us about climate change -- and instead start ignoring those who continue to deny it is happening.
  • It's time to listen – and take action. There's plenty we can do

    Global warming Global warming affects the temperature of the earths atmosphere making it much much hotter or warmer than it is supposed to be. Global warming is said to be because we are consuming too much oil, producing too much carbon dioxide and doing too much deforestation.we got to stop cutting trees. Global warming is changing the climate that all living things have come to rely upon.While we fight or struggle to figure it all out, the whole planet Earth as we know it-coasts, forests, farms, and snowcapped mountains, rivers, animals and wildlife are in the small line of melting, dying, being killed, being deforested and obviously BEING POLLUTED!!!

humans global warming warming points of view opinions

shared by ita luna on 24 Jan 13 - No Cached
  • Humans are incresing polution which is harming our planet by making global warming more usual
  • There is strong evidence that the warming of the Earth over the last half-century has been caused largely by human activity, such as the burning of fossil fuels and changes in land use, including agriculture and deforestation.

    This is a opinion that demands that we ARE responsible for global warming.
