What do you think has been the biggest cause of global warming?
Answer:
The human race
the americans
I think it's jet aircraft and industry.
People, especially Americans.
Cows and vegetarians. So much wind! lol. love you all really!
everyone
because of the trash that we produce and the smoke that our cars emmit
i think global warming has alot of causes. i think it is mainly caused by pollution. we can all help stop this and the earth needs us to. :)
lol! you are right about the catigory!
thoughtless people mostly americans and Asians
pollution
metal in the air many thing s not just one cause
Nature's cycle
DEFORESTATION,because of AGRICULTURE & subsquent DESERTIFICATION,and the reason for this is OVERPOPULATION
or because of War and Trade as in the past
PAST
the Building of the Spanish Armada deforrested Spain
the Phoenician trading fleet turned Lebanon in a dessert
Ganges Khan put everything to the sword and torch, then filled the wells with sand,
the sun finished of the job and whole countries turned to wastelands.
PRESENT
Slash and burn destroys the protective vegetation (which helps to form the soil ),
leaving it open to the Sun ,and then ,wind and, water erosion.
The Plough turns the soil ,killing micro-biotic life (essential to soil building) and accelerates the drying out .
Pressures of the :vehicles, cattle and rain impact brings the salt to the surface.
Mono cultures ,aided by chemicals Exhaust and pollutes the soil .
Adding to this the effects of overgrazing has resulted in large scale desertification.
and there is less and less water (because of deforestation),to irrigate this production ,Farmers
are overpumping deep carbon aquifiers
and plowing more and more unstable lands going into the jungles and onto mountain slopes
expanding populations and expanding farming ,that has to keep pace with the expanding populations are very strong forces that encroach upon the rainforest's
clearing them for farming and settlement areas .
Rainforest's always are in third world countries and always in third world countries corruption and the need for money s highest
in North Africa,India,Mexico ,millions of people are effected by land loss and desertification and some have died as a result
,the Sahara is growing by 7 kilometers a year
and most of the desserts we know are a results of mans actions ,and they are increasing ,not getting less ,in the dinosaurs days ,there were few desserts.
collectively this planet is drying up ,
each degree rise in temperature means 10%crop loss
and there is less and less water (because of deforestation),to irrigate this production ,
and there are less and less farmers to do it..
Arable lands and their farms are lost all over the globe. Many farmers sons abandon farming and head for the cities.
Northern China is drying up, what once were millions of food producing people, are now hungry refugees ,running for their lives from the all consuming dust storms.
This will have a great effect on world food prices when they start buying at what ever cost, to feed their people.
The farmers that are left have to feed some 70 million more people than the year before but with less topsoil.
Over the last half century,
Population growth & rising incomes have tripled world grain demand from 640 million tons to 1,855 million
In the near future the global farming community will not be able to feed every body ,food prices will continue to rise. .
Well, global warming isnt influenced by man, so im going to jump on board the Doomsday Train for a second and act as if man is actually causing it. If we were and CO2 actually did cause global warming which completely not true, then dont blame the americans. China, Brazil, and India will all be producing 25% more CO2 than the US by 2020.
Mankind!

Capitalism
Politicians
Apathy
i'm not so sure it's because of the goats burpping
(it's believed that goats help global warming when they burp)
i think it is since we have been putting all those chemicals from factories and car fumes into the air that cause the ozone layer to have holes in it
Could be industry and the fact that the planet has come out of an ice age and it could be getting warmer naturally. Of course all the cars and industry does not help.
This is why we need to do away with fossil fuels. They are doing alot to create green house gassers.
The sun. The sun is going through a hotter than normal stage. The ice caps on Mars are melting too. Just Google it.
Human arrogance and ignorance that we can live outside the natural boundaries of ecosystems, couple that with irresponsibility of not recycling our own waste for energy, we have a dangerous situation.
cutting down all the trees.
Only 1% off the redwood forrests remain in california.
Spain was deforrested 2000 years ago.
Indonesia has lost 60% of its forrest.
An area the size of belgium has been clear felled in brazil for the last 30 years.
When a super hurricane wipes florida of the map.
Or 5 million people drown in sri lanka through flooding maybe people might think hrrmmmmmm.
The Problem is so serious nobody talks about it.
The good news is that i have planted 2 coast redwoods in my garden in england and two douglas fir trees.
i think it is pollution.
-The vast loss of forests especially rain forests (the lungs of the earth).
-Coal burning plants.
-Gasoline powered lawn mowers.
-People that smoke.
the sun
THE BIGGEST CAUSE OF GLOBAL WARMING ARE THE PEOPLE WHO OPEN THIER MOUTHS THE MOST AND NOTHING BUT HOT AIR COMES OUT--AND HAVE NO LEGAL FACTS TO BACK THIS SO CALL,GLOBAL WARMING-ALSO THE SKY IS FALLING--
Al Gore's pontifications.
I was born! j/k.
The wheel. Without the wheel we wouldn't have planes, trains, or automobiles!
Natural changes in the earth's climate.
IMO, the Industrial Revolution started the whole global warming trend. Once we started belching smoke and carbon dioxide and other pollutants into the atmosphere, that pretty much got the ball rolling. Who knows where it will end?
I'm almost as sick of this question as I am of hearing/reading the answer "The Americans", even coming from Americans..Yes, true enough we use more than any other country, however, look at our population, and look at how much we produce too. We support the economy of several different countries around the world, and what would happened if we stoped (i.e. stopped using so much) to their local economies, then that would be our fault too. Screw that. Is Global Warming real, no. Not no, hell no. It's junk science, do some research on your own, look into the opposing opinion of things for a change instead of buying into what someone else is telling you-think for yourself. According to the science, the real science, something you do not hear about from Al Gore-and others...
WATER VAPOR CAUSES MORE POLLUTION THAN MAN MADE CO2!!
Under ocean volcanoes, something BTW we cannot control, heats up the ocean causes evaparation releasing more CO2 into the atmos. than man ever could. Not to mention the volcanoes that erupt around the world. And forget saving the trees, unless its an ever green...Do trees that loose their leaves in the fall produce oxygen year round, hell no!
If you're really concerned about it you need to plant something like Kudzoo, a leafy vine plant from Japan that grows upto 8 inches A DAY, and produces oxygen year round. Christ people, I'm a highschool drop out and I know more than those that are going around using Scare tatics on all of you.
It's the SUN, you bunch of accepting sheep. THINK! Without the sun, the Earth would be a frozen ball of rock.
Global warming is a religion. There's a god - Gaia. There's an original state of grace - pre-industrial society. There's original sin - the Industrial Age. There's a prophet - Al Gore. There's a bible - An Inconvenient Truth. There are indulgences - carbon credits.
And there's faith, because there ISN'T one shred of proof that humans have caused ANY global warming.
I think that many industrial countries, such as the US, China, Japan, and Taiwan. I also think that cars have a big impact on global warming, and the fact that so many people think that global warming is a scam for Al Gore and other big corporations to make money.
