These observations inform us that Earth's average temperature is increasing, except:

Animals are increasing in diversity in the wild.

Consequences of Climate Change

Seawater is becoming more acidic, Heavier rainfall cause flooding in many regions, Glaciers and permafrost are melting

We know human activity is causing global warming because

We can correlate the rise of CO2 with human activities

How does the ozone layer impact life on earth?

It filters out harmful UV radiation from the sun

What should we do to slow climate change?

Use renewable energy, Eat less meat, Turn off lights

What is climate change?

A change in global or regional climate patterns

Why are greenhouse gases like CO2 and methane important to Earth's Climate?

They trap the sun's energy so that the surface is warm

These observations inform us that Earth's average temperature is increasing, except:
Rising temperatures are melting ice on land, lakes, & sea
Animals are increasing in diversity in the wild.
The 20 warmest years on record have all occurred since 1995
Winter storms increased in frequency & intensity since 1950
2
What causes climate change?
Cows
Greenhouse Gasses
Factory emissions being released into the atmosphere
All of the above
3
What country is this?
Mongolia
China
Hungary
Russia
4
Will climate change impacts be the same in all locations on Earth?
The results are the same across the globe
The impacts will vary
There is no scientific evidence to support an answer
None of these are correct
5
Consequences of Climate Change
Seawater is becoming more acidic
Heavier rainfall cause flooding in many regions
The air will become more toxic
Glaciers and permafrost are melting
6
The following human activities produce greenhouse gases except...
animal agriculture
generating electricity from coal, natural gas and oil
driving cars
walking, biking, swimming
7
We know human activity is causing global warming because
We can correlate the rise of CO2 with human activities
All of the above
CO2 has decreased in the atmosphere over the past ten years
Earth's atmosphere is getting thinner
8
How does the ozone layer impact life on earth?
It magnifies sunlight causing sunburn
Aerosol cans still contain CFCs that thin the ozone layer
The hole in the ozone layer is the main reason for climate change
It filters out harmful UV radiation from the sun
9
What should we do to slow climate change?
Use renewable energy
Climate Change is nothing to be worried about
Eat less meat
Turn off lights
10
What is climate change?
Increase in the overall temp of the earth's atmosphere
A sudden change in conditions like temperature or rainfall
A seasonal weather change
A change in global or regional climate patterns
11
Climate change may have an impact on the following:
Agriculture, natural terrestrial ecosystems, and water resources
All of the above
Energy and human health
Air quality, oceans, and coastal zones
12
Why are greenhouse gases like CO2 and methane important to Earth's Climate?
They trap the sun's energy so that the surface is warm
They allow heat from Earth to escape to the atmosphere
