Global climate is a dynamic process, and as such, is always in a state of change, either getting hotter or colder, wetter or drier, it is never static. So global warming is just one aspect of this phenomenon.Pollution is the waste products of man%26#039;s activity.
Carbon dioxide is NOT pollution. It is a natural and vital component of our atmosphere. Photosynthesis is dependant on it, so without it there would be no green plants, hence no food. All the oxygen in our atmosphere is derived as a by-poduct of photosynthesis, so without CO2 there would be nothing for us to breathe. A Masters Degree in Ecology and 30 years experience 33% 3 Votes

Global warming is when the Atmosphere (ozone layer) is slowly being peeled off because of human%26#039;s technology (this is only one point of view). An ozone layer is something that wraps around the earth. Like a blanket, without it, there wouldn%26#039;t be any living thing in the surface. It keeps the temeperature right, and provides oxygen.
Global warming is the earth getting hotter/warmer because the earth%26#039;s blanket is slowly disappering. Global warming causes many problems such as, tax are raised, distinction of animals, more skin diseases.
Pollution is only 40% of the damage that is made to the ozone layer. Pollution made by vehicles that runs on petrol or fuel, and also greenhouse gasses, and of course big factories that sends tonnes of gasses into the atmosphere that will create a bigger whole in the blanket.

A lot of people on here are confusing ozone depletion and global warming! OZONE DEPLETION HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH GLOBAL WARMING. The Ozone reflects harmful ultraviolet light which can cause skin cancer and is depleted by CFC%26#039;s that were used in aerosols and refrigerators.
Global warming is caused by an increase in CO2 (Carbon Monoxide) CO2 reflects radiated heat back to earth. The increase in CO2 is attributed to increase in burning of fossil fuels (when you burn stuff, you release CO2 into the atmosphere). Plants and trees absorb CO2 and split it into Carbon and Oxygen. The carbon is retained for growing and the Oxygen is expelled back into the air. But there are fewer trees to absorb CO2 because of deforestation of the rainforests.
Pollution has two facets...
1. Air pollution (like the aformentioned burning of stuff
2. Surface pollution. The amount of synthetics, such as plastics, that are being dumped on land and sea, that won%26#039;t degrade for hundreds of years and is damaging to the eco-system (animals can%26#039;t eat plastics; it kills them when they try!).
Why does it happen? Because man is dumping too much trash and burning too much stuff and clearing too many forests. 11% 1 Vote -
Global warming is the heating of the earth and its atmosphere, its a natural thing it isnt going to destroy the world so dont listen to that crap it will just change the world, pollutions come in all sorts of forms.. ie. noise pollution, light pollution, chemical pollution etc... a lot of bad pollution that effects global warming is the release of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere.. basically the gases get into the atmosphere and heat up the earth, and stop some rays from getting in like uv

Carbon is depleting the ozone, O3, how they know that is unknown to me. Science still knows very little about the environment and weather patterns and can do little more then guess as to what is happen.
Carbon is absorbed by nature, and I doubt strongly the science behind it is anything reliable. These are the same people that claim to be able to carbon date things 3billions years old. Its flawed science, and completely theoretical. But I%26#039;m sure someone will tell you i%26#039;m a full in the rain, as they use a computer that is more then likely fueled by some type of power plant that gives off carbon emissions.
The real problem is finding a local renewable energy source that doesn%26#039;t force us to rely on foreign production and pricing.
Like a car that runs off water being ignited by radio waves?
Or vegetable oil in diesel engines.
As to why?
Well we have a freemarket, designed for the wealthy to become more wealthy. Naturally making the poor more poor and such. In the market it is currently more costly to switch to a renewable energy source then to continue as is, for those in power. 0% 0 Votes -
mm dont worry abaut global warming, dude there is something worser coming this way, and is called the lack of food, is estimated by the year 2030 50% more food will be requierd to feed earths population.

Global warming is the entire planet getting warmer because the human race put a hole in the O-zone layer and now harmful UV Raye%26#039;s are coming in and heating up entire planet because of the green house effect.

Two separate issues . Pollution is derived from the industrial process of mankind . The term global warming is use to label the natural changes of the planet for money and power .
