Why could wildfires effect the earth's weather or climate?

There are several ways that fires affect weather.\n\nFires send particles into the air.  These particles act as condensation nuclei, which are needed to form clouds and can lead to rain.\n\nThe smoke from a fire can also block sunlight, lowering temperatures slightly.\n\nIn the immediate area of a active fire, the energy released can create thunderstorms and lightning, which in turn can spark more fires.

When fuel is burned, it gives out carbon dioxide and other gases. These gases trap heat in the air, warming the entire planet. They say Man has raised the temperature of the planet one degree in the last 200 years.

if the earth gets warm enough to melt the polar ice caps, then  massive flooding will occur...like global flooding. changes in wind currents will probably kill a lot of species on earth. \nmaybe once the hole in the ozone is big enough, either we'll all get skin cancer and die, or a meteor will come and hit the earth and destroy us all.\nsolutions? probably too late for that.

actually, because of Global Warming, we would be in the ice age.  The increase in temperature causes a higher density of water vapor in the air, as a result the net temperature on the surface of the earth drops, and we get lots and lots of percipitation.  The Earth is making drastic attempts to shift it's self to remedy this.  Al Gore thinks we can control it because WE caused it, and so it would stand to reason that we fix it.

According to the National Academy of Sciences, the Earth's surface temperature has risen by about 1 degree Fahrenheit in the past century, with accelerated warming during the past two decades.  As the earth grows warmer and more greenhouse gases are trapped in the atmosphere we will see changes in weather patterns and average seasonal temperatures.  Coastal flooding and severe storms will happen more often.\n\nThese sites should help you.

Because climate isn't just determined by latitude, but by distance from the sea, if there are mountains near by, weather patterns and a lot of other things.

Mountains affect climate (and weather) because they force air to rise when it approaches the mountain.  You have a mass of air that when rising up and over the mountain, has to fit in a smaller area - between the mountain tops and the tropopause as opposed to the larger area between the ground and the tropopause.\nMountain chains can affect the global flow of air as well, as sometimes air gets deflected to be parallel to the mountains rather than rising up and over them.

Global warming is the theory that the Earth's atmosphere and oceans are getting warmer due to pollution and other environmental factors induced by humans.\n\nSome of the factors include burning fossil fuels (oil) and deforrestation (trees remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere).\n\nThere's discussion that if the effects of global warming aren't counteracted, ice caps will melt, sea levels will rise, and weather patterns could be altered. \n\nLow-lying coastal cities such as Bangladesh or New Orleans could be wiped out within the next 100 years as sea levels rise. Weather patterns could be altered, bringing drought to areas that used to have lots of rain, and rain to areas that used to be arid.\n\nRead any of the sources below, and you'll find more information about the causes and potential effects. It's definitely something that shouldn't be ignored.

climate changes (global warming,cooling), human population, Forest cutting (rainforest burning cutting and domestic logging), Pollution air and water. Some are just plain natural selection or unable to survive the current conditions where they live. Example: monkey's ancestors lived in a climate that may have provided less heat and natural shade, wereas, a drought in the same area over time would cause higher temps and less shade making it impossible for the young to survive. This is an example I made up, no proof but it was so you could have something to work with

On a philosophical level.... I would say it's a natural balance derived from natural occurrences. There are many different forms of weather, but the natural capability of movement shifts in many rotations causing a range of wind that forces climate change and therefore causing dramatic changes and patterns. on more of a documented scientific note I would say:The blanket of air that covers the earth is called\n\n  the atmosphere. The bottom layer of the atmosphere is \n\n  called the troposphere. The troposphere is where all of \n\n  earth’s weather happens. Basically, our weather is \n\n  caused by two things: the sun and moisture in the air.\n\n  These two things together can form clouds, can make rain\n\n  and form thunderstorms, and cause winds to blow. Without\n\n  the sun and moisture in the air, our earth would have no \n\n  weather at all. In fact, there would be no people on our plantet\n\n  \n             Another thing that helps to cause the earths \n\n   Weather is air masses. When two air masses come \n\n   Together, the line between them is called a front. Along a\n\n   Front there is usually clouds, rain, and maybe thunderstorms.\n\n   The movement of air masses helps to cause weather \n\n   almost  as much as the sun and moisture in the air. Without\n\n   air masses, all the earth’s weather would stay in one place

There are several ways that these things can happen.  The droughts can be brought on by increased tempurature.  My geography teacher once showed us infrared pictures of the same area of rainforrest, one before the trees were cut down and one after.  The result was a tempurature increase.  A drought could also be caused becasue a of a decrese in transpiration (process of trees giving off water from their leaves).  As for flooding I don't really know, but errosing increases because there are no longer tree roots to hold the soil together.

it is a little of both. yes the earth has heated but weather goes in circular movement. so there are periods of time when the earth heats up and then cools down. yes we are polluting the air and are loosing ozone, but the biggest factor is from methane gas produced by farm animals. we (Christians) are suppose to be good Stewart's of Gods gifts to us. so we need to learn to recycle, conserve and use the planet wisely. one of the things that would help the most is just planting trees. have an cooling effect on earth.

It's not the money!\nIt's the fact that the earth will be terribly out of balance and mother nature will take a drastic nose dive if there are not more forests.  All life will probably die.\nOur atmosphere is created by all the plants and trees giving off all their oxygen.  Earth would not be the beautiful life supporting place that it is without trees.

Saw an interesting program on this on the Science channel recently.  Basically scientists think it was because of a mega volcano that erupted that cause the first stage of the extintion.  Then world wide temperature rised 5 degrees and the methane in the bottom of the ocean evaporated and contributed to a super global warming and that raised the Earth's temperature another 5 degrees.  That was the most devastating extintion the planet saw and most of life on Earth and the Ocean died.

Weather is caused by so many different things. to name a few. atmospheric pressure, ocean currents, air temperature, solar output. i sugest you do some research online

It has EVERYTHING to do with climate, season, winds, etc.\n\nThe Coriolis effect, which results from the Earth’s rotation, plays an important role in large-scale circulation of the atmosphere. As viewed by an observer on Earth, air appears to be deflected to the right in the Northern Hemisphere and to the left in the Southern Hemisphere. This results in areas of low pressure rotating counterclockwise in the Northern Hemisphere and clockwise in the Southern hemisphere, with the opposite being true for areas of high pressure. If the Earth’s rotation were to suddenly reverse itself, these patterns would also be reversed. The westerlies would become easterlies and the northeast trades would blow from the northwest. \n\nChanges in the Earth’s rotation would have an effect on ocean currents, which can influence local climates. The El Niño and La Niña phenomena that affect global climate patterns on a periodic basis. \n\nOne large component of a location’s climate that would not likely be affected would be the effect of seasons, which are more dependent on the tilt of the Earth’s axis than they are on the Earth’s rotation.

Definitively a lot of hot air goes up warming the atmosphere.\nAlot comes from certain party and politicians in that party. That definitively aids the  warming phenomena which is due to the changing tilt of the earth.\n\nOn the other hand polution cause the opposite effect . it cause solar diming  wich counteracts the global warming effect.So its a War between those with the hot air and those with particle polutants.\n\nAs far as biological life of animals and plant life it does not go back that far .Because it is the changing tilt of the earth(precession of the poles) that cause either global freezing or cooking.I dont think that evolutionary species like revolutionists could survice these extreme changes.\nThe complete poles precession was calculated by scientist and astronomers to have a cycle of 22,000 years.\n\nAs fAR AS DINOSORS ARE CONCERNED ITS NOT SURVIVAL OF THE FITTEST THAT MAKES THEM SURVIVE. it is the availability of nutritional food that allows them to survive. Besides there was a global flood in the history of the Globe. And that was only a short time ago.(poor Noah).So that anihilated some of the  animals who could not reach higher ground.\nThis bring the question whew did the oil in the ground come into being?\n\nAbout millions of years? there were writing that dated before the flood. and these people also exagerated about Time.The same is the case today . Dont believe those scientists who talk out of the top of their hats.Unless there is positive correct proof.
