... as well. Anthropogenic causes of global climate change are not limited to changes in the levels of greenhouse gasses in the atmosphere. Industrial emissions of sulfur dioxide actually help to cool the planet by producing aerosols in the form of sulfur. These aerosols reflect sunlight and prevent it from reaching the earth, thus cooling global climate. In addition, aerosols from industrial ... volcano eruptions. When a volcano erupts, it produces its own aerosols in the form of sulfates and ash. In fact, when Mt. Pinatubo erupted in 1991, it produced enough aerosols to cool the entire gl...

... 30%, methane concentrations have more than doubled, and nitrous oxide concentrations have risen by about 15% . These increases have enhanced the heat-trapping capabilities of the Earth's atmosphere. Sulfate aerosols cool the atmosphere by reflecting light back into space; however, sulfates are short-lived and vary regionally. Some scientists believe that the combustion of fossil fuels and other human activities are ... ...

... an additional warming of about 0.3 C per decade. We are also adding small particles and droplets called aerosols that reflect light back into space and tend to cause some areas to cool. It is because they trap heat like glass in a greenhouse that these gases received their name -- the greenhouse gases. They are vitally important for life. Earth has a natural greenhouse effect ... ...
