The Climate Literacy and Energy Awareness Network (CLEAN) has evidence and explanations for climate change basics, and includes suggestions for helping students understand the basics by bringing climate change into your classroom, with example activities, interactives, and lessons for middle school through college.
This lesson explores the chemistry of some of the greenhouse gases that affect Earth's climate. Third in a series of 9 lessons from an online module entitled 'Visualizing and Understanding the Science of Climate Change'.
The greenhouse effect. The gases responsible for global warming - carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide and CFCs (chlorofluorocarbons). The layers of gases that surround the Earth. The...
How do greenhouse gases affect the climate? Explore the atmosphere during the ice age and today. What happens when you add clouds? Change the greenhouse gas concentration and see how the temperature changes. Then compare to the effect of glass panes. Zoom in and see how light interacts with molecules.
There are two main ways to stop the amount of greenhouse gases from increasing: we can stop adding them to the air, and we can increase the Earth’s ability to pull them out of the air. Doing both will help reduce the amount of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere.
Atmospheric Chemistry and Greenhouse Gases 241 Executive Summary Two important new findings since the IPCC WGI Second Assessment Report (IPCC, 1996) (hereafter SAR) demonstrate the importance of atmospheric chemistry in controlling greenhouse gases: Currently, tropospheric ozone (O 3) is the third most important greenhouse gas after carbon ...
