Global Warming: The Signs and the Science

While watching the film, make notes that help to address the following points:

  • Explain the process of the greenhouse effect; is this a good thing or bad? (5 points)
  • Describe the difference between current sun vs. ancient sun. What is the main contributor to the use of ancient sun? (10 points)
  • What is the link between global population and global warming? (10 points)
  • How does nitrogen contribute to global warming? Where does this nitrogen come from? (15 points)
  • Give at least 3 examples from the film of impacts that global warming has had on the world. Discuss the problem, how it is caused and what this means for life on the planet. (10 points per example)
  • What can we do to reduce the effects of global warming? Give three suggestions. (10 points per suggestion)

For homework, write up a summary of the film, including the points from above. This will serve as a good background to the project we will be starting next week (called Emission Impossible), and you may even use this film as a resource for your research paper.
