The diagram to the left shows how much CO2 and Methane gas can be produced by a herd of cow and sheep. It also indicates a proposed tax that some individuals feel the farmers should pay because their animals are hurting the environment.

The picture on the left shows a cow with a gas collecting backpack that was used to measure the amount of green house gasses that cows stomachs. || I predict in the next 20 years, there will be more and more cows and sheep on the Earth. If scientists do not not figure out a food that cows can eat that doesn't give them so much gas. the cows and sheep on the earth will cause global warming and billions of people will negatively affected. || http://lawprofessors.typepad.com/environmental_law/images/2008/05/12/co2.jpg

http://www.niaes.affrc.go.jp/rp/eng/rp09.html || picture 1: This is a graph showing how CO2 has increased over the years. It is estimated that 45-50% remains in the atmosphere. The use of coal and other fuels is the most prominent ways in which humans add CO2 into the atmosphere.

picture 2: This picture shows greenhouse gases, most similar to trace gasses. These gases also contribute to the possibly global warming increase as well as CO2.

picture 3: Another example of a picture that show some trace gases and how they flow.

All of these pictures show some proof of how gases are having a great affect on global warming. || I predict that in the next 20 years, the data for CO2 having an impact on global warming will increase. The more fossil fuels we burn the more the numbers will increase and humans burn a lot of fossil fuel. || Image from http://www.global-greenhouse-warming.com/graphs-diagrams-of-global-warming-and-climate.html Image from http://www.global-greenhouse-warming.com/graphs-diagrams-of-global-warming-and-climate.html || Pic. 1 Industrialization of the past 2 centuries has been fueled and still is fueled by burning fossil fuels: coal, natural gas, and petroleum. Combustion of these fuels has added great quantities of carbon dioxide to the atmosphere. The clearing of forests contributes because carbon dioxide is released as vegetation is burned or decayed. According to U.N. estimates, the destruction of tropical forests exceeded 15 million hectares per year during the 1990s. 45%-50% of carbon dioxide remains in the atmosphere. Carbon dioxide increased as industrialization increased.

Pic. 2 The increase in the atmosphere's carbon dioxide content has increased global temperatures. Report from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) indicate: -During the 20th century, the average surface temperature increased by about 0.6 degrees C -It is very likely that the 1990s was the warmest decade and 1998 and 2005 were the warmest years since 1861. Also the next four warmest years all occurred after 2000. -The increase in temperature in the 20th century is most likely the largest increase in any century during the past 1000 years. ||  || []  || Notes Pages 580-584 · Human impact on global climate: · Addition of CO2 and greenhouse gases into atmosphere. · Addition of human- generated aerosols into atmosphere. · Disruption of vegetation · Humans change: · Surface reflectivity, evaporation rates, surface winds. · CO2 is responsible for greenhouse effect which is why CO2 levels are rising. · Global average temperatures increased by 1 degree F. · Trace gases absorb wavelengths of outgoing radiation from earth. · Climate feedback mechanisms show us outcomes when climate systems are altered. · Global temperatures rise when cloud cover increases due to high moisture content of the atmosphere. || Based on this data I think that carbon dioxide emissions will increase, as well as temperatures and the sea level which will all cause global warming or factor out in major climate changes in the next 20 years. || || co2 increasing gradually as a result of burning fossil fuels. co2 is responsible for the greenhouse effect in the atmosphere. co2 absorbs heat.

co2 is "transparent" to short wavelength solar radiation but isnt "transparent" to longer wavelengthsoutgoing earth radiation some energy that leaves the ground is absorbed by co2.Then the enrgy isent back toward the surface keeping the air near the ground warmer than it should be. ||  || []

[] || **Climate is temperature, humidity, atmospheric pressure, wind, rainfall, atmospheric particle count and numerous other meteorological elements in a given region over long periods of time. The greenhouse effect brings back infrared radiation back to the earth.

Based on graph number 2, you can see that throughout the years the temperatures have increased.** || I predict that in the next 20 years, the humidity and temperature is going to rise a lot. I also predict that there is going to be much more awareness needed because of melting ice and glacial features that is raising the water. ||

|| The first picture show what countries are the major contributor in carbon dioxide emission. Carbon dioxide makes climate worse. And when there is to much carbon in the air earths temperature get worse.

Looking at this image you can see that sun radiation gets absorbed by the earth and causes the earth temperature ti rise up. the rise in temperature lead to climate change all around the world. || If this continues in future this planet would be in serious trouble and our children would have to suffer. ||

|| Bases on Graph 1 the higher the carbon dioxide the higher the global temperature and as the carbon dioxide falls so does the tempertaure. The graph shows that there is a kind of pattern to the data.

The second picture shows the percent and what kind of gasses are in the atmosphere. || I predict that the temperatures are getting higher but in the future it will begin to drops like graph 1 shows. ||
