The model illustrates sources of top heat-trapping pollutants and their general impacts on Earth’s temperature.

Visit Greenhouse Gases Lab (accessible through the Labs section of Contemporary Environmental Issues) and complete the
virtual lab. In this lab you will use a computer model to explore how human
activities are creating a blanket of heat-trapping pollution in Earth’s
atmosphere. The model illustrates sources of top heat-trapping pollutants and
their general impacts on Earth’s temperature.

In order to complete this lab, download the Greenhouse Gases Lab Instructions. Answer the Lab Questions at
the end of the document. To answer the Lab Questions, you will reflect upon how
destabilizing Earth’s climate not only impacts ecosystems and biodiversity, but
also critical elements of human well-being, such as fresh water supplies and
agricultural production. Save it as a Word document and submit it.
