It will give them a prediction of future events
use the AC less, buy smaller compact cars that get good gas milage
More people means more cities, more homes and more heating and cooling needs, more fossil fuels will be burnt, more transportation and vehicles will be needed
sea levels will rise, hurricanes will become stronger and more intense, glaciers will melt, more droughts and heatwaves
They are examples of evidence showing changes in the climate and greenhouse gasses
very cold
ice core samples, tree rings, coral samples,sedimentary rock samples, sediment layers
The same amount of land was used, but the machines used now add to burning fossil fuels and increasing temperatures
CFC's
Large SUV or Trucks with low gas milage
water vapor
driving cars. electricity, heating and cooling homes and buildings, building cities, farming, water heating, cooking, waching clothes
True

Carbon dioxide
train
past climate changes
trees absord carbon dioxide. If the trees are cut down, then there is nothing to absord the carbon and the gasses get released into the atmosphere
burning coal
