Sun OP
Solar output and global average temperatures have been trending in opposite directions since the 1970s. Rapidly rising emissions of greenhouse gases are responsible for the increase in the greenhouse effect. This is basic physics.
Oh wow.
cause north hemisphere agricultural industry is all a mess, planting in a huge crop system, cleaning up all plants and microorganisms, instead of letting the soil recover and fix carbon dioxide. stop the subsidiaries.
Here…because from that comment you look to need it, some research!

It’s not the consumers, it’s the policy makers and billionaires in charge of oil and other industries that care too much about their profit to ever stop killing the planet
@Hubery Lachesis I never blamed capitalism, capitalism could be much better than this if it were actually regulated
@Finnished hmm… how am I responsible if, for example, my bank forces me to change my android 8 phone as they stop supporting e-banking on this rather recent os?
@iampdv
Change banks. If all banks are the same, then don’t vote for politicians that allow banks to do that. Life is much more simple than people believe/make it seem. Power is in individuals hands, otherwise democracy is DEAD. People have to change their mindset from “my actions don’t matter/affect” to “my voice matters, even I can change the world”.
@Finnished I have not seen a politician that would specifically say something on the subject. Have you?
@iampdv
Probably not, but make a petition/citizens’ initiative and change the reality that way.
I, for one, welcome our new Kristen Bell + Giant Ant overlords!
because humans xD
Let’s eradicate all humans. And guess what? The problem remains.
@Mr.Sojek how TF you know about it, easy for those fingers to smash
??? what, that is it??
Yes ok, but why did a giant ant make this?
Because I was born, and I’m just that hot.
I’m a good global citizen. I believe in everything my actor/scientists tell me. Bad humans
Ok, but Earth’s atmosphere is not a greenhouse. So this video doesn’t explain nothing.
“So this video doesnt explain nothing”
That’s right, it explains something.
finally gossip girl is focusing on the important tea
Clearly the Americans will trying to stop this
Temperature too hot for our living, you know, just like the lifeless Cretaceous period.
Good explanation.
Of a difficult problem.
The world’s warming up because God’s pissed off and fires coming out of his nose his ears his hands his feet his mouth repent pray so be it
Not only was your answer to the question, “Why is the world warming up? ” BRIEF, it was WRONG.
During the LOCK DOWN we discovered something extraordinary. The recent Reduction of CO2 caused a RISE in temperatures!
Looks like “Climate scientists” formed their opinions FIRST, and every since then, have cherry-picked the evidence, searching for facts which support their existing conclusions. But we would not have had any confirming evidence of their improper deviation from the SCIENTIFIC METHOD, if not for the world-wide Corona Virus Lock Down. We just saw a rise in temps, after a MAJOR reduction of CO2 production, World-Wide. This is contrary to our understanding of the role of CO2’s influence in our climate models.
(Hint: Solar Particle Climate Forcing is the PRIMARY and most significant cause of Climate Change, rendering Anthropogenic Climate Forcing, INSIGNIFICANT, by comparison.)
