Lesson 10

What is happening in the world to cause the sharp rise in CO2?

Lesson Objectives...

Integrate qualitative and quantitative scientific information in written text with digital tools to analyze trends of atmospheric CO levels, energy consumption, and human population over time to determine a correlation between human activities and CO emissions.
Ask questions that require sufficient and appropriate evidence as to whether CO comes from combustion of fossil fuels for energy, and is causing the rising CO levels in the atmosphere .

Large deposits of mineral resources (such as "fossil fuels") are used to power our communities and transportation networks, and this use has increased over time.
Populations growth increases consumption of resources (per-capita consumption).
A growing population that consumes large amounts of mineral resources is correlated with the rapid increases in CO2 in Earth's atmosphere.
