Global Warming Causes Global warming is primarily a problem of too much carbon dioxide (CO2) in the atmosphere—which acts as a blanket‚ trapping heat and warming the planet. As we burn fossil fuels like coal‚ oil and natural gas for energy or cut down and burn forests to create pastures and plantations‚ carbon accumulates and overloads our atmosphere. Certain waste management and agricultural practices aggravate the problem by releasing other potent global warming gases‚ such as methane and nitrous

Approximately every 100‚000 years Earth’s climate warms up temporarily. The Earth is in a warming period since the Ice Age. The warming periods called glacial periods cause the Earth to retrogress back to a cold ice age climate after a couple of years. This leads to the growing debate of today‚ Is global warming caused by humans? Or caused naturally? This is a controversial issue and debate today‚ however‚ global warming is not man-made‚ in fact‚ it is a normal and natural cycle for the Earth and the carbon
