Part I A Closer Look at the Evidence

You learned about the negative impact of economic growth and human utilization of resources that can lead to global climate change and extinction. In your Case Assignment, you reviewed many pieces of evidence and developed your own conclusions about the relationship between human activities and global climate change. Now review the conclusions that have been drawn by NASA regarding this information at http://climate.nasa.gov/evidence/

Part I: A Closer Look at the Evidence

For the first part of this assignment, answer these questions using the NASA website:

  1. Describe the graph on the NASA website. What does it show us about the concentration of CO2 in the atmosphere? According to the following site (the United Kingdom’s National Meteorological Service), what recent event contributed to the rising carbon dioxide levels? http://www.metoffice.gov.uk/news/releases/2016/maunaloaco2_2016
  2. The supporting data on climate change are grouped into different categories on the NASA website. How are these groups labeled? Is there agreement on these categories between the NASA website and the UK website (http://www.metoffice.gov.uk/climate-guide/climate-change). If not, how do they differ?
  3. Select the “Effects” tab at the top of this webpage. Summarize the effects of climate change listed here in one paragraph. Be sure to address the effect of climate change on our weather and water resources.
