Cause of Global WarmingCause of Global Warming

AITAIT– anthropogenic COanthropogenic CO22

GGWSGGWS– sunsun

Evidence for Global WarmingEvidence for Global Warming

AITAIT– Glaciers are meltingGlaciers are melting– Permafrost is thawingPermafrost is thawing– Hotter years, droughtHotter years, drought– More stormsMore storms– Increased extinctions, coral reefsIncreased extinctions, coral reefs

GGWSGGWS– Just natural fluctuationsJust natural fluctuations– Has happened MANY times in Earth’s historyHas happened MANY times in Earth’s history– We’re coming out of the Little Ice AgeWe’re coming out of the Little Ice Age

Evidence for Greenhouse EffectEvidence for Greenhouse Effect

AITAIT– Ice core data Ice core data CO CO22 – Temp graph – Temp graph

GGWSGGWS– Greenhouse effect should warm upper Greenhouse effect should warm upper

atmosphere first, not happeningatmosphere first, not happening

– Temp increase happens before COTemp increase happens before CO22

– Sunspots are a better predictor of climateSunspots are a better predictor of climate

Evidence about COEvidence about CO22

AITAIT– as COas CO22 increase, temp increases (monster graph) increase, temp increases (monster graph)

GGWSGGWS– temp increase preceded COtemp increase preceded CO2 2 increase by 800 increase by 800
