Global Climate Change Activity

      For the part one, we learned that Temperatures from only one year are not enough to determine the climate of the region because climate is the average weather conditions determined by decades of years. Scientist often defines climate change as a significant "long term" change in the weather pattern of a certain area. It is difficult to find any change in the weather pattern by looking at the temperatures from just one year.

     For the part two, we made table and graph of CO2 level. I was able to observe that CO2 level was increasing at accelerating rate from decade to decade. Also, I learned that even small changes of CO2 level can affect to environment a lot.

     For the part three, we used map to calculate the distance from the school of each stop and find out the difference if every student drive to the school instead of taking school bus. Obviously it will increase the CO2 level because there are more vehicles. 

     In part four, authors shows again that even small changes in environment can cause huge differences. We learned in this part that temperature can raise sea level up. This one degree of sea level, seems small to us, can affect a lot on agriculture and extinction.
