Climate Change Lab Report

705 Words3 Pages

The purpose of this assignment lab was for us to determine if there has been a decrease or increase in carbon dioxide emission in the data we were given in the past forty years. I have observed the data collected in five different locations around the world. The locations I have observed were in Summit Greenland, Hawaii, American Samoa, Alaska and the South Pole. Each one of the location was verified by its location code and the level of carbon dioxide within the years observed.
In this lab assignment each graph shows the level of carbon dioxide from a time frame of 1950 to 2005. It is up to us to look at the data and determine how much the carbon dioxide had increased or decreased over the years. Rather, then just take a short period of …show more content…

The methods that I will use in this lab are to look at each location as well as the graph for that location to determine the change in the carbon dioxide levels over the years. Now in doing this I will be able to determine whether or not the levels of carbon dioxide is decreasing or increasing and at what rate. Once I have collected all of my evidence I will places all of my findings in the lab report provided. Therefore, all of my findings will tell if there was a large change over the years or a small decrease and determine if I was correct in my guessing of the facts.
I have now collected all of my findings for each year from the graph. I am ready to look over all of the information to make sure that it’s accurate and determine if my guess of increasing or decreasing levels of carbon dioxide is correct for each location. It has been determined that all of the levels of carbon dioxide have been slowly increasing over the years in all five locations I have studied. Although, all of the level have increased over the years I have found that in the South Pole the level have increase slower than it has in other location. This is due to the fact that there are not a lot of people or plants in that

As scientist try to hide their information in regards to humanly effects on the climate and environment, certain studies show the impacts of humans on the climate. One of the leading causes for global warming, or the rising temperature of the Earth’s climate, are greenhouse effects by humans. “According to nature international journal of science, Data compiled by Le Quéré and other members of the Global Carbon Project suggest that humans contributed around 10.4 billion tones of carbon into the atmosphere in 2011” (Monastersky). Only a small portion of this carbon is filtered through carbon sinks, such as the ocean and plants.

The NOAA is an important contributor to the WMO, World Meteorological Organization, by providing accurate and timely information on carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gas levels while also emphasizing the importance of this worldly issue. The people who benefit from this information are the general public and other agencies such as the EPA, Environmental Protection Agency, who can regulate the emission of such greenhouse gasses to decrease the impact of them on the Earth. Also, with a well-informed public, the basic workings of what’s occurring will be understood allowing the importance of this dire issue to be felt (Carbon Cycle Science,

GELO 2 Concentration

GELO 2 F17 1. Based on the graph, there is a correlation between the effects of CO2 concentration and the average global temperature. They both resulted in an exponential growth over the period between 1880 to 2010 relatively with the same amount of increase. While the global average temperature from 1880 to 2010 gradually increased relatively from 56.5 to 58.1 Fahrenheits, the amount of CO 2 Concentration (ppmv) also increased as well ranging from 280 to 390. This is an example of science because it uses properly considered and provided all evidence shown. Although the data have many ups and down trends of different temperature and climate changes within the years, it also shows the gradual increase of temperature over the years.

Support & Opposition: Public and expert opinion on how to combat climate change exasperated natural disasters differs among specific regions. After studying public opinion, and interviewing experts on both climate change and the Caribbean, we have reached the conclusion that there is a large difference of opinions regarding climate change between the regions. Those from the United States, in both public opinion and from experts, were less likely to be wary of climate change and natural disasters resulting from it. In contrast, the public and experts from the Caribbean are more vocal in their beliefs of to climate change and the natural disasters it creates. This means that it is import to focus on promoting climate change in the United States through education, media and policy to make the public

Due to no so environmentally friendly human habits, Antarctica has been exposed to over 992 million tons of carbon dioxide. Carbon dioxide (a type of greenhouse gas) itself isn't the cause of global warming. The sun is actually melting the ice, but the sun isn’t strong enough to melt the ice by itself, that is where carbon dioxide plays its role.

Even if the 2 °C goal is attained, however, society will still need to adapt to the inevitable changes anticipated over the next three to four decades (Brasseur et al., 2013). The lifespan of CO₂ in the Earth system is very extensive and, consequently, even instantaneous reductions in CO₂ emissions, which are essential when taking into account long-term climate change, will have no significant effect on the climate within the coming decades. The German Advisory Council on Global Change (WBGU) (2009), illustrated how emissions would be distributed among several nations. For example in the case of Germany which represents 1.2 % of the world's population, should exceed no more than nine Gt CO₂. By comparing this data it showed how difficult it

Argumentative Essay: The Last Ice Age

1052 Words | 5 Pages

This cycle is needed and is important with helping Earth to maintain its temperature range, but consequently too much accumulation of CO2 and greenhouse gases; leads to the Earth retraining more infrared radiation than needed. Human activities have contributed to the increased concentration of greenhouse gases.2 At the start of the Industrial Age, records have shown that the rate at which the Earth is warming up has been increasing steadily. This is due to the high demand of burning fossil fuels in order to provided us with electricity, to be able to power our vehicles, along with other important features to make everyday life simpler; but it has come at a cost. The level at which CO2 is currently at, is the highest it has ever been in the last 650,000 years.3 The level is currently recorded at 380ppm; making it the highest it has been since the modern human as a species has been around.

Synthesis Essay: The Impact Of Global Warming

1087 Words | 5 Pages

CO2 has been continuously releasing into the atmosphere in many ways, provoking global warming. If you have heard or seen the idea of the greenhouse effect, that is, the idea of CO2 trapping solar radiation into the atmosphere. CO2 gets into the atmosphere in various, unintentional ways ranging from humans to animals and to natural disasters. In Christine Diaz’s article, “Carbon Dioxide,” she states that “....all the world's nations combined pumped nearly 38.2 billion tons of carbon dioxide into the air from the burning of fossil fuels such as coal and oil….” What Diaz means is that in one single year, CO2 reached its maximum range of emissions into the atmosphere, and they got the number, “...38.2 billion…” from the rising the CO2 production per second which is 2.4 million pounds per second.

2. Brief analysis/warrant (How/Why this is important?)This shows how if we continue to pollute our atmosphere by emitting greenhouse gases such as carbon into our atmosphere, it will cause more natural disasters which will be more severe due to the rising temperatures which will allow for more severe storms, which is all a result from emissions. II. Conclusion A. Restate Thesis to remind the audience of your position: It can be said from the previous examples that global warming and climate change are both caused by human emission of greenhouse gases which result in consequences such as warmer temperatures and severe natural disasters.
