A Look At The Natural Causes Of Global Warming

By: Peter Williamson

Many individuals are under the assumption that people are exclusively responsible for global warming. It may be surprising to know that global warming is also a naturally occurring event. It can easily be argued that whatever global warming occurs naturally on the planet is a fraction of what humans are capable of contributing.

Global warming resulting from the activities of human beings, has been an ongoing problem for a very long time. People are responsible for global warming, through a number of activities, ranging from driving vehicles to breathing. Natural causes of global warming can be on a much larger scale that could be from sources outside of our planet. Whether the cause is natural or human, global warming is a serious problem that everyone should be aware of.

Naturally Occurring Global Warming Catalysts

One natural cause of global warming involves the sun. Our planet is influenced by explosions that occur on the sun's surface over a period of time. Through these flare-ups, the Earth's temperature naturally continues to rise, which leads to global warming. Each time one of these explosions occurs, our planet is exposed to higher temperatures, and these explosions happen quite regularly.

As both the Sun and the Earth orbit there are certain times that the two come closer to one another. When this happens it is normal to see an increase in temperatures on the planet. This provides one excellent example of global warming caused naturally. Human beings, obviously, have nothing to do with this event, which naturally occurs in the universe.

Earth has numerous volcanoes that litter its surface. Some actively are erupting while many others sit dormant waiting for their next opportunity to unleash their fury. During an eruption, smoke, ash, and a variety of gases, are spewed into the Earth's atmosphere. With a volcanic eruption, temperatures typically decline gradually. Temperature drops are due to the smoke from the volcano, rising to a point that the sunlight is blocked out for a period of time. Once the effects of the volcano have subsided the planet will naturally warm itself back up.

Any change that might occur in the planets ocean currents can effect global warming as well. It is thought that these changes in the current can be influenced by the sun. The amount of change in the tide, and where the change occurs, will determine how drastically temperatures will be affected, and how much global warming will result.
