Explore the effect of greenhouse gas emissions from energy production on the environment.
Exploration should include
- defining the greenhouse effect and greenhouse gases
- energy sources that produce greenhouse gas emissions (e.g., methane, carbon dioxide)
- natural
- man-made
- effects of greenhouse gas emissions on the environment
- extreme weather events
- coastal flooding/sea-level rise
- destruction of habitats
- water scarcity
- public health and conflict.
Process/Skill Questions:
- What gases are considered to be greenhouse gases?
- What are the greenhouse effects from energy use?
