Some people still maintain that global warming is not due to human CO2 emissions. One alternative is that warming is due to solar activity. Here I explore how much of that is true and how much is wrong.
It’s absolutely normal that natural influences will always effect the climate and solar activity definitely has its effect on our climate. So why are scientists still maintaining that today’s warming is mostly due to human CO2 emissions?

Carbon Dioxide: A Greenhouse Gas

http://www.eco-info.net/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/decaying-tree-with-man-190x140.jpg

Carbon dioxide is a greenhouse gas. This means it traps heat from the sun in the atmosphere. Most of the time this is beneficial to us, because without greenhouse gases to trap heat, the planet would be a lot colder. …

Natural Greenhouse Gas emissions and -sinks

http://www.eco-info.net/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/volcano-iceland-lava-aurora-190x142.jpg

To what extent are humans responsible for Global Warming? Even though emissions of carbon dioxide have greatly increased since the industrial revolution, there is evidence that this gas is naturally released into the atmosphere by volcanic eruptions. It’s therefore possible …

Is Global Warming really bad?

http://www.eco-info.net/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/temp-CO2-190x83.jpg

If the planet has been continuously warming and cooling anyway, why would today’s warming be worrisome, even if it is due to human activity, you may wonder. The question is easy to answer. Human beings may become extinct. The only …
