Meaning
Anthropogenic global warming is the scientific theory that the current increase in the average surface temperature of Earth is being caused by human activities.
About Anthropogenic Global Warming
- Scientists know that Carbon Dioxide and Methane are greenhouse gases.
- The percentage of Carbon Dioxide and Methane in the Earth's Atmosphere have increased in the last 200 years (Carbon Dioxide has doubled from 0.02% to 0.04%) since the 'Industrial Revolution'.
- The increase in greenhouse gases has been followed by a steady increase in average temperature of the surface of the Earth.
- These facts have led scientists to conclude that the current increase in average surface temperature of Earth has been caused by the human emission of greenhouse gases.
