The Big Argument
The Earth has
often warmed and
cooled long before…
…long before we
got here.
So don’t blame
humans!
The amount of
energy the sun
gives out can
change.
GOOD: You must know what is
causing our climate to change
(A* - C).
Put yourself on the timeline, what
is your opinion?
The tilt of
the Earth’s
axis can
change…
…and the
axis can
even
wobble!
Well,
naturally
causes
may play
a part…
The Earth’s
path around
the sun can
change.
Any of
those can
cause
global
warming.
…but the
data proves
its mostly
our fault.
It’s because
we’re filling
the air with
greenhouse
gases.
I think
it’s ALL
our fault!

Greenhouse Gases
Put these sentences in the correct speech bubble on your
diagram.
But some is absorbed by the
molecules of greenhouse gases.
The sun sends out energy as
light and UV rays.
Some of the energy escapes to
the outer atmosphere.
They re-emit it in all
directions, including back to
Earth.
So the air and Earth get
warmer.
These warm the Earth. The
Earth reflects some of the
energy again, as heat.
