CLIMATE AND CLIMATE CHANGE REVIEW

WHAT CAUSES WIND ON A LOCAL AND GLOBAL LEVEL? WHAT CAUSES SEASONS? DO SEASONS OCCUR ALONG THE EQUATOR? WHY DO DESERTS OCCUR CLOSE TO 30 o NORTH AND SOUTH LATTITUDE?

WHAT ARE TWO WAYS THAT HEAT CAN BE DISTRIBUTED FROM ONE REGION OF THE EARTH TO ANOTHER? HOW CAN WATER AFFECT LOCAL CLIMATE?

WHAT IS MEANT BY ALBEDO? GIVE AN EXAMPLE OF SOMETHING THAT COULD AFFECT EARTH’S ALBEDO? HOW DOULD TOPOGRAPHY AFFECT CLIMATE?

WHY IS CLIMATE CHANGE SO DIFFICULT TO DEBATE? IS CLIMATE CHANGE REAL, AND WHAT DO WE BASE THIS ANSWER ON? WHY DO WE ASSUME THAT CLIMATE CHANGE IS RELATED TO CARBON DIOXIDE CONCENTRATION?

SCIENTISTS PREDICT THAT CARBON DIOXIDE CONCENTRATIONS COULD INCREASE TO BETWEEN 450 AND 550 PPM AND TEMPERATURES COULD RISE BY 2 TO 5 o F BY WHY THE RANGE?

WHAT IS A GREENHOUSE GAS? WHAT IS MEANT BY THE GREENHOUSE EFFECT? DID THE GREENHOUSE EFFECT EXIST BEFORE 1850? WHY IS IT IMPORTANT?

NAME THE THREE MOST IMPORTANT GREENHOUSE GASES? WHAT IS THE IPCC, AND WHY ARE THEIR REPORTS IMPORTANT?

GIVE 4 OBSERVED IMPACTS OF CLIMATE CHANGE. WHAT IS GLOBAL DIMMING, AND TO WHAT DO SCIENTISTS ATTRIBUTE IT TO? WHY IS GLOBAL DIMMING IMPORTANT IN UNDERSTANDING CLIMATE CHANGE?

TEMPERATURES HAVE INCREASED AND DECREASED IN GEOLOGICAL TIME. WHY ARE WE SO WORRIED ABOUT A TEMPERATURE INCREASE NOW? WHAT MIGHT BE SOME OF THE IMPACTS OF THE PROJECTED TEMPERATURE INCREASE? WHY MIGHT SPECIES HAVE A MORE DIFFICULT TIME MIGRATING NOW TO ADJUST TO CLIMATE CHANGE THAN THEY DID AT THE END OF THE LAST ICE AGE?

WHAT ARE SOME ACTIONS THAT COULD BE TAKEN ON A LOCAL LEVEL TO REDUCE/PREVENT CLIMATE CHANGE? WHAT ARE SOME ACTIONS THAT COULD BE TAKEN ON A NATIONAL LEVEL TO REDUCE/PREVENT CLIMATE CHANGE? WHY WOULD BUSINESSES PREFER THAT REGULATIONS BE PASSED ON A NATIONAL LEVEL RATHER THAN A STATE LEVEL TO REGULATE GREENHOUSE GAS EMISSIONS?
