The Greenhouse Effect
Source of Greenhouse Gases
Source of Greenhouse Gases
Carbon Dioxide: burning of fossil fuels,
animal respiration
Water Vapor: evaporation from ocean
surface; transpiration from forests
Methane: rotting garbage, animal gas (ok . . .
farts!!!!)
Ozone (O3): interaction of oxygen in
atmosphere with solar/cosmic radiation.

Effects of Global Warming
1) Glaciers melt at poles
2) Sea level rise, coastline flooding, property
damage
3) Habitat destruction & species extinction
4) Drought & Famine
5) Climate Change (stronger hurricanes and
tornadoes; colder winters/blizzards, hotter
summers).
