Think we'll see Air Pollution Cause Global Warming?


Find additional global warming information:


Is the earth really getting warmer, and does air pollution cause global warming as they say? Global warming is the popular scientific theory that the earth is heating up.
It has its critics, but there is some evidence that it could be happening, and it certainly seems logical enough.

One of the main contributers to this global warming is the rise in air pollution over recent centuries.

Our earth has a layer of air around it known as the atmosphere. Its layers create what is popularly called a greenhouse effect.

It also protects the earth from the harsh ultraviolet rays of the sun and forms a barrier to keep a certain amount of heat near the planet. Without the air surrounding the earth, the climate would be more like that of the moon, if you can say such a thing, and life would be impossible.

Greenhouse Gas Chart

According to experts in air quality conservation, we have a number of common pollutants increasing the natural greenhouse effect. The pollutants, called greenhouse gases, form from natural processes. For instance:
  • Carbon dioxide is produced by animals breathing and by the decay of organic substances.
  • Methane gas, twenty-one times stronger than carbon dioxide as far as global warming is concerned, comes from bogs, animals and swamps.
  • Nitrous oxide, Can this air pollution cause global warming? Yeah, it's over 300x as powerful as carbon dioxide and emits from microbial processes and bacterial breakdown of nitrogen both on land and in water.
See the figure above for a more detailed breakdown of greenhouse gas sources. How can air pollution cause global warming when under natural conditions, these very same gases make an important part of the atmosphere? And...

What's the global warming problem?

The delicate balance of these gases could be upset by the gases produced when people burn fossil fuels to power cars, factories, and "civilized" things.
The United States of America has the worst emissions of air pollution cause global warming in the world, but other nations are growing in this area. And catching up.

If global warming turns out to be real, it could cause serious problems. For this reason, there have been a number of international air quality conferences to assess the situation discuss what can stem the tide. And if anything we do can help.

If the entire earth rises in temperature by only a few degrees, more polar ice caps should melt. This would likely cause flooding in coastal cities as the sea level rose worldwide. Well-publicized consequences here.

Another concern scientists have about global warming is that it could seriously impact agriculture. Warmer temperatures might be good for crops in some areas, but they also might help insect pests thrive.

Have I got the Wrong Idea?

Maybe you know something that the world needs to hear about. This short list cannot include everything and if it's important to you, it's important to me.

So what really causes global warming? I'd like to know. If you have a picture, I'll even include it here. Try me.

A good idea deserves a good title. Put it here.

Here's where you tell me the story. [ ? ]

It makes sense to try to use fewer fossil fuels, vote wisely, and even donate money to organizations devoted to the air pollution cause GLOBAL WARMING is projected by some to even cause widespread death and destruction.

It has been a hot political issue in the States lately and that shall continue. Everybody seems to have something to say, and some will try to convince you one way or another. Do your own research and think for yourself on this one.
