Cause - Increase solar activity from the sun during normal solar activity cycle

Effect - increase in atmospheric moisture due to evaporation from the oceans. Water vapor is the number 1 greenhouse gas

Cause - Increase of intergalactic cosmic gamma radiation

Effect - According to research at CERN each gamma ray particle can cause a 10 fold increase in water vapor condensation in the atmosphere IE coud formation. Clouds prevent thermal energy from escaping back into space

If by effects of global warming I would say an expansion of the temperate zone that harbors vegetation growth. Longer growing seasons, greater atmospheric moisture (which not only traps the heat in but the white clouds will reflect heat back out into space. Kind of like self regulation of temperature), more rain in some areas drier in others. More vegetation would equal more atmospheric CO2 absorption by the plants, increase of animal populations that feed off plants thus increase of animal population that feed off of plant eating animals.

I didn't list any anthropogenic causes of global warming from CO2 because atmospheric CO2 concentration is so small what tiny deviation in levels there would be are insignificant in effects on global climate and that well documented geological records prove that atmospheric increases in CO2 always occur after global warming and not before most likely due to the oceans releasing stored CO2 as they warm up. :) :)

Green house gases such as carbon dioxide, water vapour, methane and nitrous oxide trap the heat from the infra red radiations of the sun and heat up the earth’s atmosphere. This has caused a rise in mean temperature of the earth’s atmosphere, causing global warming. Even though burning of fossil fuels in thermal power plants is the main source of producing green house gases, air pollution caused due to soot and diesel exhaust from road vehicles and industries is a greater contributor to global warming. It has been pointed out globally that China and India are the major culprits, as they rely on burning of wood and cow dung in household cooking and use coal for heating their homes. Together, they account for between 25 to 35 percent of black carbon emissions.

It has therefore become important to mitigate the release of black carbon, which would not only reduce greenhouse gas emissions, but also prevent health hazards.

The Kyoto protocol was developed under the UNFCCC – the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change, to ensure that the ratifying countries collectively work towards reducing greenhouse gas emissions.

The chief concept behind the Kyoto Protocol is that if the countries that have ratified this international agreement fail to control their emissions till below targets, then they are required to engage in emissions trading. Emission trading is basically when a country buys “credits” from other less developed countries that are able to exceed their reduction targets.

India and China, have ratified the Kyoto protocol, but currently are not seen as countries which have to urgently reduce greenhouse gas production. However, the Kyoto Protocol has a major loophole. Even though China is contributing to global warming at a rate almost as much as the USA, it is currently not being held accountable. The reason for this is two fold. Firstly, China is vastly populated as compared to the USA and thus has resulted in a large amount of industrialization in the past few years. Secondly, most of the production and industrial development in China and other such developing countries is due to the demand by the West and the outsourcing of functions.

Thus, even though outsourcing of work to countries like India and China are seen as a good thing, the carbon emissions come with it. USA has refused to ratify the Protocol and economic powerhouses like China show no signs of reducing emission rates.

Causes- There are so many causes it is not really worth listing, try walking around your house and finding something that doesn't contribute to global warming or something that hasn't already. I bet you very little that hasn't affected the climate. Now imagine this on a massive scale.

Consequences- Short term, is acid rain, rising sea levels, Co2 rise in ratio between oxygen and Co2 in the air, and lots more bad affects. Long Term, Damage to the O-zone layer (which if destroyed we will all die a horrible death), Extinction of animals and the flooding of countries.

Global Warming, it's the heat in the atmosphere rising due to released levels of Co2, known as the green house effect, which releases the gas Co2, (Carbon dioxide)

this is caused by the burning off fossil fuels such as Coal, which is used to power things like turbines to produce energy.

the consciences of global warming involve warming of the earth causing ice caps to melt, causing animal extinction and rising sea levels, Global warming also adds to activity in weather, such as tropical rain storms and floods,

Global warming is trying to be resolved by natural resources like wind power, solar power, rather than using fossil fuels and greenhouse gasses to obtain energy. Also, recycling can help in ways.

i have attended a lot of seminars, read counless books on forex trading and it all cost me thousands of dollars. the worst thing was i blew up my first account. after that i opened another account and the same thing happened again. i started to wonder why i couldn,t make any money in forex trading. at first i thought i knew everything about trading. finally i found that the main problem i have was i did not have the right mental in trading. as we know that psychology has great impact on our trading result. apart from psychology issue, there is another problem that we have to address. they are money management, market analysis, and entry/exit rules. to me money management is important in trading. i opened another account and start to trade profitably after i learnt from my past mistake. i don't trade emotionally anymore.

if you are serious about trading you need to address your weakness and try to fix it. no forex guru can make you Professional trader unless you want to learn from your mistake.

There are two parts to global warming, the natural and the manmade ones.

The natural warming is primarily caused by changes in the amount of heat from the Sun and variations in the way Earth moves in space. Most of these changes are cyclical, they happen on a regular basis; as such they are also predictable. These cycles vary in duration from a few years to hundreds of thousands of years.

It’s the manmade component that is giving rise to a great deal of concern. This comes about because our modern lifestyles produce a lot of greenhouse gas emissions and these have the ability to retain heat within our atmosphere. It’s the same mechanism that leads to natural warming, just that the cause is different.

The planet goes through it's own natural warming and cooling phases. The most recent ice age was the result of a global cooling, and then 19,000 years ago the earth began warming, temperatures started to rise, the ice melted and the temperatures have, overall, continued to rise ever since.

Using scientific techniques we can reconstruct an accurate picture of the climate over the last million years and a general picture stretching as far back as 542 million years. In the last couple of hundred years there are detailed weather records we can refer to.

What we have seen in recent decades is a significant increase in average global temperatures. Currently temperatures are rising by 0.0177°C a year, whilst this may not seem much it's many times faster than at any time in known history and is faster than many natural systems can cope with.

Why then is the world warming up? About 250 years ago we witnessed the birth of industrialisation and since then the world has become ever more industrial. Our modern lifestyles produce huge quantities of greenhouse gases and herein lies the problem.

Greenhouse gases have the ability to trap heat; the more of these gases there are in the atmosphere the more heat becomes trapped. We humans have produced so much greenhouse gas in recent decades that atmospheric concentrations has increased by over 40% causing more heat to be retained. In the last 100 years the average global temperature has increased by just less than 1°C.

The temperature rise to date has already had serious implications. Millions of people have fled their homes as their land has turned to desert or rising sea levels have flooded the land. In Siberia one million square kilometres of permafrost (permanently frozen ground) has melted and turned into mud and lakes. In mountainous regions glaciers have retreated further than they’ve ever been known to retreat before, half of these glaciers have melted completely. The number and intensity of storms has increased, diseases have spread into new regions, and significant amounts of the polar ice caps are melting and crumbling into the sea.

Where it gets much harder is predicting what will happen in the future - there's many factors to be taken into consideration and some of these aren’t particularly well understood. There’s been substantial research undertaken around the globe by a wide range of institutions and most reports predict global temperature rises of between 2°C and 4°C by the end of this century.

So what will the future effects of global warming be? The polar ice caps will continue to melt which will keep causing sea levels to rise. So far this hasn't had a dramatic impact but a rise of just a few feet will be enough to see many coastal areas inundated with water. Major cities such as London, New York and Miami are at or very close to sea level. In the next two or three hundred years many millions of people will need to be relocated as large areas of land are lost to the sea.

Some countries won't have the resources to protect their towns and cities and the inhabitants will be forced to relocate. Millions of square miles of agricultural land will be lost. Parts of Asia and Africa will be hardest hit.

There will be a shift in weather patterns, like we've seen in recent years but more so. For some this will bring benefits but for others it will bring hardships. Areas of barren wasteland will become fertile and could be used agriculturally but at the same time there will be desertification of fertile areas. New areas suitable for habitation will be formed but at the same time some areas will become uninhabitable. Some places will become wetter, others drier, some will become hotter, others colder. Extreme weather conditions including tornadoes, hurricanes, and floods will be more common - we've already witnessed an increased frequency of such events.

Some plants and animals will have to adapt, others will become extinct. At the same time others will flourish and this may be a good thing or a bad thing. For example, increased grain production would be beneficial but more swarms of locusts would be detrimental.

-Spread of disease

-warmer waters in turn more hurricanes

-higher probability of droughts and longer duration

-economic consequences(hurricanes alone cost billions in damage)

-melting of polar caps(with that throw the ecosystem out of balance-and will screw up ocean currents wich regulate global temps)

- more floods

- also stronger hurricanes(hurricane power increased 50% over the last 30yrs)

-more tsunamis

-more cold wave

- more thunder storms also (due to humid air by global warming)

-More outbreaks(warmth comes with disease)

-loss of biodiversity and animal extinction

-death of ocean life

-and more stronger more frequent storms in general like tornadoes(last year we had over 500 reported tornadoes)

- sea level rising

Ps each of these scenarios also come with their own set of problems....

Causes---

-burning of fossil fuels(green house gas emissions)

causes - burning of fossil fuels, increase of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, factories

consequences - world is getting HOTTER, ice caps are melting, sea level rising

Oceanic acidification will get us first.
