Global Warming

Global Warming is the century-scale rise in the average temperature of the Earth's surface, oceans, and atmosphere due to an increase in the greenhouse effect. Greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide from burning fossil fuels or from deforestation trap heat that would otherwise escape from Earth. This warming is causing climate patterns to change.

The overall or net annual concentration of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere is increasing due to human activities such as burning fossil fuels and deforestation. This increase in carbon dioxide levels is contributing to global warming and climate change.

Name 3 sources of carbon dioxide?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

  1. Burning fossil fuels (coal, oil, natural gas) for energy production
  2. Deforestation and land use changes, which release carbon stored in trees and soil
  3. Industrial processes such as cement production and manufacturing

Asked by Wiki User

One good green thing may be a recycled bag that has been made of only recycled materials. another green thing may be a car that runs on hydrogen and so the only waste product would be water.

How many people die alone?

Asked by Wiki User

It is difficult to provide an exact number of people who die alone as it can vary depending on location and circumstances. Social isolation and lack of support can contribute to individuals dying alone, but it is important to recognize that every person's situation is unique.

Did Atlantis go underwater because of global warming?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

There is no scientific evidence to support the existence of the mythical city of Atlantis. The story of Atlantis sinking into the ocean is a legend and not based on geological events or science. Global warming, as understood in the modern context, did not cause Atlantis to submerge.

When will global warming melt the Ice?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The rate of ice melt due to global warming varies by region and is difficult to predict with precision. However, current trends suggest that significant melting is already occurring in places like the Arctic and Antarctic, leading to rising sea levels and ecological impacts. Efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions may help mitigate the extent of ice melt in the future.

Why does the media show us what they want and not the truth?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Media organizations often have their own agendas, biases, and priorities that influence the way they portray news stories. This can lead to selective reporting or sensationalized content to attract viewers. It is important for consumers to be critical, seek multiple sources, and consider different perspectives when interpreting the news presented by the media.

What is the main ingredient in air?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

By volume it is nitrogen.

Nitrogen form ~ 79%

Oxygen forms ~ 20%

The remaing 1% is composed of water vapour, carbon dioxide, methane, ammonia, sulphur dioxide, nitrogen dioxide, and the noble(inert) gases.

Although, humans live in 'fear and trembling' on the level of carbon dioxide in the atmopsphere, it is actually extremely low, by volume, compenent of the atmosphere.

What is the answer of...Air particles pressing down on a surface?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Air pressure.

At sea level it is approximately 760 mmHg.

I say approximately because air pressure naturally changes between high pressure areas(anticyclones) and low pressure areas (depressions/cyclones/hurricanes/typhoons).

NB 760 mmHg means that the air pressure will support a column of mercury(Hg - hydragyrum) of approximate height 760 mm (millimetres) ( 0.76 metres).

Sometimes air pressure is measured in 'pounds per square inches' or 'pascals'.

Can hydrogen save us from global warming?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

while hydrogen can contribute to efforts to combat global warming, it should be seen as part of a broader strategy that includes energy efficiency, renewable energy development, and other sustainable practices. Transitioning to a low-carbon economy will likely require a combination of technologies and approaches.

When will the ice caps completely melt?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Images from NASA satellites show that the area of permanent ice cover is contracting at a rate of 9 percent each decade. If this trend continues, summers in the Arctic could become ice free by the end of the century. edit: I heard from the news a few weeks ago that the North Pole icecaps could be gone by Summer 2020.

What makes a problem a global problem?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Answer

Global means 'pertaining to the world, or worldwide. So like, global warming...well, it's happening all over, or will be...and the universal dream is global, because everyone wants world peace, and no third world countries, etc. Or well...the majority does. Hence, it's still world wide, so it's global.

Answer

Usually, the word 'global' refers to anything that has some kind of impact on everyone or every place in the world. for example, there is a local economy where you live. There are small businesses, individual service providers like hairdressers, doctors, carpenters, etc. There are also banks and lending companies that probably do business across state lines. Some may do business on an international level. Each nation's policies and practices regarding international business have a potential impact on other nations. So there is something called the 'global economy'.

Global warming is another common term and it has to do with the human impact on our planet's self-regulating systems. Interestingly, there are connections between the 'global economy' and 'global warming'.
