Notes for Thursday, March 01
Message in Nissan Commerical Bear is thankful of the man driving an electric car that doesn’t burn fossil fuels. WHY? Burning fossil fuels increases CO2 concentrations in atmosphere Increase in CO2 , causes increase in temperature Increase in temperature causes the ice melt (where the polar bear lives)
What is the main human cause of global warming? Burning fossil fuels which releases greenhouse gases (mainly, carbon dioxide) into the atmosphere… These gases absorb long-wave radiation (heat energy) being radiated back from earth. The CO2 molecules then re-emit the long-wave radiation back to earth…. Resulting in the atmosphere getting warmer.
Climate Change Effects Increases in temperature Sea level rise Ice mass loss (ice is going to melt) Shifts in flower/plant blooming
