Global Warming:
Global warming is the increase of Earth’s average surface temperature due to the fact of greenhouse gases, such as carbon dioxide emissions from burning fossil fuels or from deforestation.
Natural contributions to Global warming:
In Earth’s history before the industrial revolution, Earth’s climate change due to natural causes not related to human activity. Most often, global climate has changed because of variation in sunlight. Tiny wobbles in Earth’s orbit altered when and where sunlight falls on Earth’s surface. Variations in sunlight itself have alternatively increased and decreased the amount of solar energy reaching earth.
Human contributions to Global warming:
The two largest influences are greenhouse gas and sulfur dioxide emissions, mostly from burning coal, oil and natural gas. According to scientists, natural contributions is too low for global warming and nowadays, the human contributions are too big to be the cause of global warming
