1 Energy, Fossil Fuels, and the Carbon Cycle Module 2: Greenhouse Gases

2 What You Will Learn  You will learn how energy is released from fossil fuels.  You will learn about the carbon cycle.  You will learn how the burning of fossil fuels impacts the environment.  You will investigate ways to reduce carbon dioxide emissions.

3 Source: IPCC. Unit: billions of tons of carbon

4 The Carbon Cycle Source: NOAA

5 Carbon Dioxide Levels

6 Carbon Dioxide Levels at the Mauna Loa Observatory Source: Mauna Loa Observatory

7 History of Energy U.S. Use Source: EIA  Changes in fossil fuel (petroleum, natural gas, coal) use over time  Increase trends in petroleum usage
