Is global warming and climate
change something you know a lot or not so much about? How
important a topic is it to you?
Why is the concentration of atmospheric carbon dioxide a concern
(CO2 is not generally
considered to be toxic and is only the 5th most abundant gas in
the atmosphere)?
Is the atmospheric greenhouse effect a good thing, bad thing,
or a little of both?
What changes have there been in atmospheric CO2
concentration during the past few hundred years?
What natural and anthropogenic processes add CO2
to and remove CO2 from the air?
How do the amounts of CO2 added to or
removed from the atmosphere by human activities compare to those
of nature?
The concentration of CO2
is currently increasing. How much more is it
predicted to increase by the end of this century?
What things can we do as individuals to reduce our "carbon
footprint?"
Just as with the Causes of the Seasons
topic, there is a fairly large amount of information to cover
in a 1-side-of-1-page (double spaced) report. I would
suggest first creating an outline of the topic. Identify
the main points you want to include in your report so that you
can decide how much space you will be able to devote to
each. Then write your report.
