DDISCUSSION POINTS ABOUT THE VIDEO ON GREENHOUSE GASES AND GLOBAL WARMING
• What are greenhouse gases? • What are the possible effects of greenhouse gases on the temperature of the Earth? • How do greenhouse gases “trap†infrared heat radiation but let heat radiation from the sun pass right through them? • What would be the average temperature of the earth if we had no greenhouse gases? • How is the amount of greenhouse gases in the Earth’s atmosphere regulated or recycled by nature? • How was the graph showing the amount of CO2 in Earth’s atmosphere for the last 1000 years was obtained? • Is Earth going to experience a “runaway†greenhouse effect? • What might be the effects of global warming if it is a real occurrence?
HOMEWORK NO. 5
