General
What is Global Warming
A global temperature rise.
What are governments trying to do to stop global warming?
Governments are using the "Green New Deal" to lower the amount of greenhouse gas emissions, and would eventually cut them in half by 2030.
What company hid the truth of global warming from the public?
ExxonMobil.
What is the greenhouse effect?
The greenhouse effect is the heating of Earth's surface and troposphere.
Has the Earth been through this extreme heat spike?
Yes, because 56 million years ago, there was a period of global warming called the, "Paleo-Eocene Thermal Maximum". Even the poles had near tropical weather.
Since when were humans around 100% the reason of warming?
1950.
How does global warming affect plant/wildlife?
Plants and wildlife are moving from the equator toward the poles and could wipe out half of plant life and one third of animal life.
Why did ExxonMobil deny and lie about global warming?
ExxonMobil denied and lied about global warming because the higher-ups didn't want to lose money.
Until when will greenhouse emissions be cut in half with the green new deal?
2030.
What is are main causes of global warming?
The main reasons for global warming are when C02 and other pollutants, including greenhouse gasses, being captured in the air absorbing sunlight and solar energy, and would make the planet hotter because these pollutants can last in the air for a very long time.
Is global warming entirely humans' fault?
Yes because human emissions and activities caused around 100% of the warming since 1950.
When were there slight temperature changes in North America, Europe, and Asia?
1850.
What are the causes for global warming in the United States?
(If you get at least one, you got it right)
1st- The Burning of Fossil Fuels to create Electricity.
(Creates two billion tones of C02 every year)
2nd- The Transportation Sector
(Creates 1.7 billion tons of C02 emissions every year)
Since when was human emissions and activities causing 100% of warming?
1950.
What fraction of the warming has happened since what year?
2/3s of the warming has happened since 1975.
