Unit 7 - Climate Change & Energy Production
Climate Woes: CO2 & Heat Spike!
Table of content
Let's take a dive into some really cool stuff about climate change. Get ready to explore how the world's weather is changing in some unexpected ways
Rise in co2 levels
- Pre-industrial levels of CO2 (that's carbon dioxide, a greenhouse gas) were around 270 ppm (parts per million). Imagine this like 270 tiny CO2 molecules in a million-air-molecule party!
- However, researchers think that this number could double, reaching a whopping 540 ppm. That's like having 540 tiny CO2 molecules dancing at the same party, heating things up a bit!
Real-world example: Picture a party getting crowded with more people. The room becomes hotter, right? That's what's happening to our Earth with more CO2.
