What are some causes and effects of Global Warming?

Global warming is one of our Earths biggest issues right now. It's effects on animals and agriculture is frighetning and the effects on the human population are even scarier.

  1. One cause of global warming is Carbon Dixoide emmiting from fossil fuel from burning power plants. 40% of U.S. Carbon Dixoide emmission come from electricity production and 93% comes from burning coal. An effect would be the rising sealevels. Scientists predict an increase in sealevels worldwide due to the melting of two massive ice sheets

  2. Car pollution, in some of the big city's in california you can actually see the smug from the cars.

  3. A cause of global warming is methane that escapes. The methane escapes from mining coal and oil. Methane is usually underground. When digging for coal or oil methane can be dug up with the coal/ oil. An effect of global warming is a rise in temperature on Earth.

  4. Smoke is one if the a causes of air polution. Polution is a major cause for global warming. Because smoke is heat and more heat and hoter temperature melts the glaciers and ice in cold places.

  5. The largest producer of methane is cows. This pollution is very harmful to our environment destroying the ozone layer.

  6. A harmful pollution to global warming is the smoke from paper plants and also the smoke from thre ride volcanoe at Kings Dominion.

  7. Some causes of global warming are littering and pollution from factories. Both of these things often occur, so they quickly build up. If we continue harming our earth and global warming increases too much, we could cause our Earth to heat up and we could destroy our ozone layer. These things will not only be harmful to our enviornment, but also to us and our kids. In order to help prevent global warming, we need to take better care of our earth.

  8. A huge cause for global warming is pollution. Global warming causes water to rise because it melts glaciers. Global warming is bad for the enviroment and could eventually cause the earth to end

  9. One natural cause of global warming is the Earth's tendency to warm and cool leading and following an Ice Age. At the moment the Earth is going through a heating cycle.

  10. A cause of global warming is all the pollution we create. Air pollution from exhaust, smoke, ash, and smoke from factories. This is destroying our ozone layer causing global warming.

  11. There are many causes of global warming. The main cause to me is pollution. Our earth is full of polllutants. Some of the main pollutants are littering, car exhaust, and also smoke. Due to these pollutants, we tend to lose many animals each and every year.

  12. Deforestation, especially tropical forests for wood, pulp, and farmland
    The use of forests for fuel (both wood and for charcoal) is one cause of deforestation, but in the first world, our appetite for wood and paper products, our consumption of livestock grazed on former forest land, and the use of tropical forest lands for commodities like palm oil plantations contributes to the mass deforestation of our world.

  13. Although many people believe it is solely the cause of humans global warming. Global warming is actually a excess of chemicals, such as methane, that are in the atmosphere and create a greenhouse effect. While most people say this mix of gases is only made my humans you need to put forth the natural producers of these gases as well. One natural producer of the gas methane, a large contributor to global warming, is the cow. Cow patties are high in methane, or at first they are at least, and are a lead contributor to the gases in the air. While we may not be the total cause of global warming though, we are speeding it up with our constant and greedy use of fossil fuels as well.

  14. Any type of transportation that is gas or diesel powered I think is the biggest cause of global warming. Global warming is destroying the ozone.

  15. There are many causes of global warming. One cause of global warming comes from greenhouses. Global warming can also occur through car pollution. That is one of the most well-known types.
