1-14: Global Warming Potential | 1-14: En Espaņol | 1-14: Em Portuguêus |
Importance of this Unit to the Course
By use of physical properties of
greenhouse gases discussed in previous units, we now can make comparisons
of the relative
contributions of different greenhouse gases to global warming. We also can use knowledge
of future gas emissions scenarios to estimate global warming due to increased greenhouse
gases with natural variations in climate.
Objectives
Preparation for Discussion (You must complete this section before class.)
Discussion
(online / face-to-face)
(See your portfolio for due dates and times)
A major component of the course is participation in the online dialog.
The following types of comments are required:
Why does burning of tropical rainforest lead to global warming but burning an equivalent amount (mass) of corn stalks does not?
