14 lip 2009 · Scientists agree that global warming is caused mainly by human activity. Specifically, the evidence shows that certain heat-trapping gases, such as carbon dioxide, are warming the world—and that we release those gases when we burn fossil fuels like coal, oil, and gas.

5 sie 2019 · Scientists know that the warming climate is caused by human activities because: They understand how heat-trapping gases like carbon dioxide work in the atmosphere; They know why those gases are increasing in the atmosphere; They have ruled out other possible explanations
12 paź 2022 · There is overwhelming scientific evidence that Earth is warming and a preponderance of scientific evidence that human activities are the main cause.
13 wrz 2022 · A planet that’s warmer right now than at any other point in human history, and getting ever warmer. This global warming has, in turn, dramatically altered natural cycles and weather...
25 paź 2021 · How do we know humans are responsible for global warming? Greenhouse gases - which trap the Sun's heat - are the crucial link between temperature rise and human activities.
Human activities are driving the global warming trend observed since the mid-20th century. The greenhouse effect is essential to life on Earth, but human-made emissions in the atmosphere are trapping and slowing heat loss to space. Five key greenhouse gases are carbon dioxide, nitrous oxide, methane, chlorofluorocarbons, and water vapor.
Understanding how greenhouse gases originate and how to measure their effects on the climate is crucial for tackling the biggest environmental challenge of our time. In this resource, you’ll...
