I just found this here, and i found it interesting so i'll share to you all (cheers for me, haha )
- The leading cause of global warming is from water vapor, then carbon dioxide emissions, nitrous oxides, and chlorofluorocarbons (used in household appliances like air conditioning).
- Chlorofluorocarbons are expected to be eliminated and put out of use by 2030 to help slow down global warming.
- The biggest business sectors that are contributing to global warming are the following: Industry, Transportation, Residential, Commercial, Agriculture.
- Methane is the second biggest cause of greenhouse warming. Gas from cows is a big contributor to global warming.
- A big enough volcano eruption could cool the earth for one or two years because sulfuric acid from the explosion would combine with water vapor to form a “shield” that would reflect some sunlight away from earth. Such an eruption would be quite catastrophic, though.
- The coloration of aerosols (miniscule particles in the air) generally changes their relationship with the sun. Lightly colored aerosols reflect light back away from earth (as a white t-shirt) while darker aerosols generally absorb heat (as a hot asphalt road when it is sunny).
- Generally, wispy clouds, such as cirrus clouds, trap light and thus warm the atmosphere whilst thick clouds generally reflect sunlight.
- Ice/snow cover cools the earth by reflecting sunlight.
- Without water vapor’s effect on the atmosphere, the earth would be at below freezing temperatures.
that's why we should do our best and take a step ahead to prevent global warming for the sake of our family, our friends, and our self.
