Important question: what are five causes of global warming?
I am having trouble doing a school geography project. Can someone help me by outlining 5 causes of global warming? Along with a detailed explanation of the cause. I really appreciate any of your answers and thank you in advance.

1. Deforestation, especially tropical forests for wood, pulp, and farmland
2. Increase in usage of chemical fertilizers on croplands
3. Carbon dioxide emissions from fossil fuel burning power plants

a million. climate exchange Cycles between the organic reasons of international warming is the first climate exchange cycles, which ensue over a era of around 40 thousand years. because of fact the earth grew to become into first created there have been cycles of cooling and cycles of warming, and this keeps right this moment. this would not propose that international warming skeptics are maximum impressive to no longer hardship approximately international warming. 2. Methane Greenhouse gas Methane greenhouse gas is released from many aspects of the globe, and from animals like livestock besides. Wetlands and tundra geography make a contribution to circumstances that launch this gas into the ambience, the place it turns into trapped and in its turn contributes to the extra desirable warming of the planet. 3. image voltaic Cycles And Sunspots international warming skeptics factor to image voltaic cycles and sunspots to coach that the earth warms clearly without people contributing. for the duration of cycles of extra desirable solar spots and image voltaic flares, the temperature of the earth does heat up some yet that's in lots of cases momentary, and while the image voltaic cycle cools off so does the earth. 4. The Rotation Of The Earth between the biggest organic reasons of international warming is the rotation of the earth. because of fact the planet spins, the rotation is off somewhat and this reasons a wobble in the spin. as a result specific aspects could get extra or much less radiation from the solar, and influence the temperature. This cycle has long previous on for thousands and thousands of years. 5. Volcanoes Volcanoes are between the organic reasons of international warming, and those organic formations erupt explosively at cases. for the duration of very great eruptions, the ash and airborne dirt and mud from the prevalence could block radiation from the solar and quiet down the earth severely. great eruptions are uncommon yet they do ensue.

The five causes of global warming are given below:-
1) Carbon dioxide emission from fossil fuel burning power plants
2) Carbon dioxide emission from burning gasoline for transportation
3) Methane emission from animals dead bodies, agriculture such as rice, paddy, and arctic seabeds
4) Increase in usage of many chemical fertilizer
5) Rise in sea levels worldwide

Ignore the denialist nonsense.
What is causing global warming? Humans burning fossil fuels.
Things which could cause global warming but are responsible for current warming
-the Sun
-Earth's orbital variations
-declining volcanic activity

Although global warming may be caused by human's greenhouse gasses, there is surprisingly little evidence for this.
Firstly, humans emit surprisingly few greenhouse gasses compared to the rest of the Earth. Most of the greenhouse gasses (something like 60-70%) come out of the oceans. A lot (like 30%) comes from things on land breathing. Very little (around 3%) comes from human pollutants (such as factories).
Secondly, there is not much evidence that CO2 is the cause of global warming. Although both CO2 and global temperatures are both rising now, this has never happened before in the Earth's history. Most of the time, it's just the opposite, when CO2 is up, temperature is down.
Lastly, global warming is happening on other planets, so the Sun as a cause is a very serious contender. Mars' ice caps are melting and Jupiter is having storms even more violent than usual.

the laws of nature are the same with or without people. Climate responds to
solar variation (some effect, 11 year cycle)
earth orbit/tilt (these are not of importance for the last 100 years warming)
greenhouse gases (low during ice ages, high in between, VERY high now)
surface effects (deforestation, ice cover etc)

Deforestation:. The number one reason for the fall of every past civilization on Earth so far. Note the present human civilization we often fail to recognize as the one that presently covers the Earth and spans the globe
High-Energy particulate emissions into the atmosphere. These already turn distance towers upside down and make the moon appear twice its usual apparent size, then split in two, turning black, as devil's acid- rain, socked with sooty carcinogenic microbial brains,pours mercilessly of blood red sanguine goose upon the damned of the apocalypse
Concentration of CO2 mostly from letting sodas go flat before meshing with methane discharges, making vinegar to ease crucifixion pains.
After that do you need more (that's four)?
Of course you do (#5)

Sunspot activity is the biggest "driver." The so-called "Global Warming Crisis" actually does not exist. Be happy to cite some sources for this. Most of this is lunatic propaganda...honest.

1. Lies
2. Greed.
3. Lust for power.
4. Quest for a one world government.
5. Demonic thinking.
Ask your teacher what AGW has to do with Geography. This is a clear example of propaganda. No one has yet to prove global warming so why are they teaching a fairy tale? Our schools have dropped from first place to 25th place in the world (dropping eight places in just the last year) because we deem teaching this bovine excretion more important than real Geography or Science. We will never get to the top again unless we start teaching the truth and real facts.
