4. Carbon Dioxide What are some sources of CO 2 ? How do humans contribute to this CO 2 in the atmosphere? Is fossil fuel burning the only source of CO 2 in the atmosphere? If not, what else? What is a CO 2 sink? www.environment-green.com/Harmful_Emissions.html

5. Trees What can a tree ring or bore tell us? If plants take in CO 2, what do they do with it? If plants are growing, what else do they need to grow? How can we tell how much carbon (CO 2 ) has been stored in a tree? How can tree rings help climatologists with climate prediction? How will potential future climate tree growth here in Kansas? cr.middlebury.edu/.../how/treeCoring.htm

6. Biofuels vs. Fossils Fuels?

7. So, what do we know about CO 2 mediated climate change? Let’s see what the predictions are for where we live… CEP document
