I'm not sure I don't think they are responsible. But when cows or sheep burp or fart they set off a monoxide that kills the ozone layer.

Global warming is the theory that the Earth's atmosphere and oceans are getting warmer due to pollution and other environmental factors induced by humans.\n\nSome of the factors include burning fossil fuels (oil) and deforrestation (trees remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere).\n\nThere's discussion that if the effects of global warming aren't counteracted, ice caps will melt, sea levels will rise, and weather patterns could be altered. \n\nLow-lying coastal cities such as Bangladesh or New Orleans could be wiped out within the next 100 years as sea levels rise. Weather patterns could be altered, bringing drought to areas that used to have lots of rain, and rain to areas that used to be arid.\n\nRead any of the sources below, and you'll find more information about the causes and potential effects. It's definitely something that shouldn't be ignored.

The greenhouse effect, first discovered by Joseph Fourier in 1824, and quantified by Svante Arrhenius in 1896, is the process by which an atmosphere warms a planet.\n\nHere's the link to the very informative Wikipedia entry on "greenhouse effect":\n\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greenhouse_Effect

In our current case; Yes they are at least somewhat related. They are not by definition, however, related. Global Warming can occur due to a wide range of factors as the Oil companies are so fond of pointing out. They are right to say that Global warming can occur without a change in the Greenhouse gases. It can occur due to fluctuations in the ocean currents, it can occur as a result of an increased solar output from the Sun, or a host of other causes.  In our case when all of the science is reviewed it overwhelmingly supports the model of Global warming being caused directly from mans effect on the levels of Greenhouse Gases. All other natural variations are minor compared to mans influence on Global Warming.\n\nThe science behind Greenhouse Gases; \n\nGreenhouse gases are rather transparent to visible light, but they absorb and scatter IR Light, which is the frequency range of Earths blackbody heat radiation. The Sun shines down through the atmosphere and heats the Earth. The Earth at the same time is always radiating IR blackbody radiation back into space creating a heat balance. Some of the IR light, however, is absorbed and scattered by the organic greenhouse gases. Therefore, some of the heat that would have escaped into space doesn't. This continuous action over a long period of time very gradually adds up until a different new and hotter heat balance is achieved. \n\nSource(s):\n\nHere are some additional websites; \n\nhttp://www.pewclimate.org/global-warming...\n\nhttp://www.ucsusa.org/global_warming/sci

ok greenhouse effect is the trapping heat in the form of infrared raditions. let we take example of a car parked in the sun during day.\nwhen we open doors interior seems too hot. this is due to green house effect. what happens that glass allows heat or infrared rays to come in but does not allows it to escape. We all know that heat generation is due to infrared rays. So if there is too much heat anywhere there infrared rays have shorter wavelength and place having low heat have infrared rays with longerwavelength .\nSo rays with shorter wavelength enter in car but heat inside car is less compared to outer environment. Sorays with longer wavelength become unable to escape out as they have less penetrating power.

Exactly none. There is a finite amount of energy stored on the planet in the form of fossil fuels. Burning it releases this energy. You cannot add more. There has been heat RELEASED by the burning of fossil fuels onthe planet, which many people believe causes global warming. The only heat energy added to the planet is solar energy.

Global warming is real, but not really caused by industry and being covered up. Studies show that primary global warming is caused by the build up of Carbon Dioxide in our atmosphere, which is actually caused by our breathing. So as human population increases, so does global warming. The solution is to cut back on world population, but no government is going to admit that we should stop breeding and kill off thousands of people as a solution. Maybe China.

What About Global Warming . . . . \n\nThe greenhouse effect refers to the fact that Earth is surrounded by an atmosphere which acts like the transparent cover of a greenhouse, allowing sunlight to filter through while trapping heat.\n\nGreenhouse gases are trace gases of mainly water vapor, carbon dioxide, methane, ozone, and nitrous oxide. The Earth's atmosphere largely consists of nitrogen and oxygen, but these gases do not hold heat so they are not greenhouse gases nor contribute to the greenhouse effect.\n\nDuring the day the Earth absorbs heat from the Sun and re-radiates it back out to space. Normally this heat would escape each night and the temperature would fall rapidly. Instead, gaseous molecules absorb the heat given off by the planet, and re-radiate it out in all directions, reabsorbing it, and redistributing it again and again. This keeps the Earth's surface relatively warm and the average temperature comfortable. The greenhouse effect is key in Earth's ability to stay warm and sustain life.\n\nA look to our neighboring planets of Venus and Mars shows what happens when the greenhouse effect - which is akin to a blanket covering the planet - becomes too thick or too thin. Temperatures on Venus soar because of its very thick blanket or atmosphere. The runaway greenhouse effect here is staggering. Mars on the other hand has such a thin blanket (atmosphere) and a weak greenhouse effect, that the planet is very cold. Nearly all of the heat that reaches Mars escapes. Relative distance from the Sun plays a part in the global temperatures of the inner planets, but a greenhouse effect, or lack thereof, is largely responsible for the climates on all these planets.\n\nScientists started using the term "greenhouse effect" in the 1800's. At that time it had no negative connotation. In the mid 1950's the term "greenhouse effect" began to be associated with global warming and also with the negative effects of our industrial age. This enhanced greenhouse effect, as it's sometimes referred to, is the result of burning fossil fuels. This releases additional carbon dioxide into the atmosphere at the rate of about 3 gigatons (3 billion metric tons) per year. Since carbon dioxide (CO2) absorbs heat, we can expect that significant increases in CO2 will tend to raise the global temperature, possibly contributing to global warming. Simply put, if greenhouse gases act like a blanket to keep our planet warm, we are thickening that blanket.\n\nThe natural greenhouse effect on Earth is responsible for life as we know it. We may, however, need to become better stewards of our greenhouse gases in order to preserve life.

As more and more forest are destroyed, fewer plants are left to take in carbon dioxide for use in photosynthesis. On the other hand, people keep on using energy and fuel and burning materials that produce more and more carbon dioxide. There is therefore a surplus of carbon dioxide in the air. You have to remember that carbon dioxide is one of the major green house gases in the atmosphere. These gases warm our atmosphere by converting solar infrared radiation into heat energy. What's more, the heat is also trapped by these green house gase. With more and more heat being trapped, our climate will change. Higher global temperature will coz the sea level to rise. It will also coz extreme weather conditions such as supertyphoons and tornadoes

Simple answer: Carbon dioxide and other "greenhouse gases" get caught up in the upper levels of earth's atmosphere. When rays from the sun enter earth's atmosphere they pass through to the earth's surface and are supposed to reflect off the earth back into space but do not because the greenhouse gases trap them in the atmosphere.  This causes the earth to heat up due to the cosmic radiation in these rays.

The missing link between air pollution and gobal warming is a concept that you've probably heard of before known as the greenhouse effect.  \n\nThe greenhouse effect is caused by an increase in certain pollutants (known as greenhouse gasses) that are released into the atmosphere.  If enough water vapour, carbon dioxide, methane (and other culprits) are present in the atmosphere, it turns the atmosphere into a "greenhouse" in a way.  Short wavelength infra-red radiation that comes from the sun has enough energy to get through the layer of greenhouse gasses and enter our lower atmosphere, but when these rays contact the Earth, they lose some energy.  \n\nAfter they lose energy, they become longer wavelength infra-red rays, which tend not to have enough energy to break back through the layer of gasses.  These rays are absorbed by the greenhouse gasses, then sent back down to the Earth, further heating the planet.\n\nBasically, if you increase the amount of greenhouse gasses in the atmosphere, you let the same amount of heat in, but not as much heat gets out.  The overall temperature of the Earth rises, polar ice caps melt.  Bad stuff happens.\n\nThe best example of this is Venus, which has a thick layer of carbon dioxide (among other things) in its atmosphere.  Thus, the mean temperature of Venus is around 737K, far hotter than Mercury at 440K, even though Mercury is closer to the sun.  \n\nHope this helps.

through trees and the process of photosyntesis..\n\nglobal warming occurs because of the excess of certain gases, CO2 and others, in the atmosphere. photosyntesis can help recycle those gases by turning them into oxygen. By cutting down trees there's less ways to get rid of those gases and so they keep accumulating in the atmosphere causing an increase in global warming.\n\nhope that helps

Carbon dioxide (which is emitted form cars) is the major gas from gases contribute to greenhouse effect, other gases cuase this effect like water vapor, methane, nitrous oxide,and CFC's

NO because of all the new cars and fossil fuel that people are burning. because of that the hi concentration of Co2 in the atmosphere Will result in global warming. In the last 100 years the global temperature has GROWN by 1 degree Celsius. and in the next 50 years or so the temperature Will rise by another 3 degrees resulting in freak weather.

The greenhouse effect is a natural process in which gases in the upper atmosphere trap heat in the planet.  greenhouse gases is carbon dioxide.  Scientists are concerend about this because carbon dioxide is increasing, therefore intensifying the greenhouse effect.  This can lead to global warming, which might melt the ice caps at the poles and submerge coastal cities in up to 100 meters of water.

Short Answer: Carbon dioxide.\n\nLong answer:\nGlobal warming is the observed increase in the average temperature of the Earth's atmosphere and oceans in recent decades.\n\nThe prevailing scientific opinion on climate change is that "most of the warming observed over the last 50 years is attributable to human activities".\n\nThe increased amounts of carbon dioxide (CO2) and other greenhouse gases (GHGs) are the primary causes of the human-induced component of warming. They are released by the burning of fossil fuels, land clearing and agriculture, etc. and lead to an increase in the greenhouse effect. The first speculation that a greenhouse effect might occur was by the Swedish chemist Svante Arrhenius in 1897, although it did not become a topic of popular debate until some 90 years later.
