Presentation transcript:

PRACTICE: Explain why the atmospheric concentration of CO 2 increases in winter and decreases in summer. SOLUTION:  It’s is all about living carbon sinks that store CO 2 in the summer and release it in the winter: Namely- plants and their respiration and decomposition. Describe evidence that links global warming to increased levels of greenhouse gases. Topic 8: Energy, power, climate change 8.6 Global warming

Describe evidence that links global warming to increased levels of greenhouse gases.  The previous data shows a steady increase in atmospheric CO 2. But how does this correlate to average temperature? And how do we determine the geological correlations?  The answer is ice cores.  From the concentration of the isotopes of hydrogen in the water we can determine the mean global temperature.  From the trapped air we can determine the greenhouse constituents of the atmosphere. Topic 8: Energy, power, climate change 8.6 Global warming Ice core sections stored at the National Ice Core Laboratory in Colorado

Vostok ice core drilling site, Antarctica Analysis of the core has been completed to a depth of 3350 meters, representing about 440,000 years of climate history.

Topic 8: Energy, power, climate change 8.6 Global warming

Describe evidence that links global warming to increased levels of greenhouse gases.  The graph shows the results of the Vostok ice core analyses, representing CO 2 levels and temperatures going back 425,000 years (before present).  Note the very strong correlation between them. Topic 8: Energy, power, climate change 8.6 Global warming Which Milankovitch cycle seems to be driving this variation? y The elliptical variation.

Topic 8: Energy, power, climate change 8.6 Global warming Describe evidence that links global warming to increased levels of greenhouse gases.  The temperature and CO 2 overlays show approximately that sometimes temperature change leads, and sometimes it follows change in CO 2 levels:  So which change causes the other to change?

Describe evidence that links global warming to increased levels of greenhouse gases.  A more detailed plot shows perhaps that CO 2 change leads temperature in change. But the overall percentages from the previous graph gives the lead slightly to temperature… Topic 8: Energy, power, climate change 8.6 Global warming

Outline some of the mechanisms that may increase the rate of global warming.  Obviously, increased need for energy leads to increased burning of fossil fuels (or biomass) which leads to more greenhouse gases, which would increase the rate of global warming. FYI  This graph is compiled by the wishful thinkers located at azul.eu/ Topic 8: Energy, power, climate change 8.6 Global warming

Outline some of the mechanisms that may increase the rate of global warming.  Another mechanism would be the decreased albedo caused by melting ice caps. Ice and snow have the highest albedo (0.6) of any terrestrial landscape. Less light would be reflected by snow and ice and more would be absorbed.
