- Burning fossil fuels for industry, transport and to generate electricity. This releases the greenhouse gas carbon dioxide into the atmosphere.
- Using more and more coal and oil-produced electricity instead of using solar, hydro, geothermal and other renewable sources.
- Cutting down more of the world's forests so they can't absorb carbon dioxide from the atmosphere.

Devin- Burning fossil fuels releases greenhouse gases into the atmosphere, which trap heat and contribute to global warming.
- Deforestation reduces the Earth's ability to absorb CO2 from the atmosphere to regulate climate.
- Methane emissions from livestock farming and landfills are potent greenhouse gases that accelerate global warming.

What are three ways global warming affect the water cycle?
Global warming increases temperature.Water level rises up.Amount of water in atmosphere is affected.
What three gases cause global warming?
The three main greenhouse gases that contribute to global warming are carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4), and nitrous oxide (N2O). These gases trap heat in the Earth's atmosphere, leading to an increase in average global temperatures.
Why do you think scientists environmentalists and politicians are arguing about global warming?
Scientists and environmentalists are warning the world that global warming is a real and present danger. Politicians can rarely see beyond the next election in three or four years. Few of them, in the US anyway, have any long term vision.
What are the three signs in Australia of global warming?
Three signs of global warming in Australia include rising temperatures leading to heatwaves, increased frequency and intensity of bushfires, and coral bleaching affecting the Great Barrier Reef due to warmer ocean temperatures.
What is global warming and what are the 3 key ideas that support the global warming theory?
Global warming is the long-term increase in Earth's average surface temperature due to human activities that release greenhouse gases into the atmosphere. The three key ideas that support the global warming theory are the increase in greenhouse gas concentrations, the rise in global temperatures, and the correlation between human activities and the changes in climate patterns.
