What do Greenhouse Gases Do? Kevin Czajkowski University of Toledo

Go to this link: Effect of Earth’s Albedo (Reflectivity) on Its Temperature

Without an atmosphere, the Earth’s equilibrium temperature is: -18° C (25° F) Why isn’t the Earth frozen? Answer: The Greenhouse Effect

Greenhouse Gases Absorb and Emit Infrared Radiation (Light)

What are the Greenhouse Gases? CO 2 – Carbon Dioxide CH 4 – Methane H 2 0 – Water Vapor N 2 O – Nitrous Oxide O 3 – Ozone CFC – Chloroflourocarbons

Let’s explore NASA’s Climate Change Website Go to this link

Questions to Explore What is the current level of CO 2 in the atmosphere? What was the preindustrial revolution level of CO 2 ? How has global temperatures changed over the last 100+ years? What is some other evidence of climate change?

15 What Other Human Activities Affect the Climate? Land use change (urban sprawl) Condensation Trails (Contrails) Dust pollution

16 What Natural Variations Affect the Climate? Soil Moisture changes (Drought) – months to years Volcanic Eruptions – several years Ocean Currents – decades to millennium Solar Changes – decades to millennium Orbital Changes – 10s of thousands of years
