I need some help with this below.
Global temperature rise predicted with a mid-range amount of CO2 emissions.
How can scientists predict the effects of greenhouse gases so far into the future when they cannot predict weather accurately more than a week in advance? Although weather models and climate models are based on similar physics, weather models predict local, day-to-day changes. Climate predictions are focused on longer-term influences of the sun, oceans, land, and ice on the atmosphere. Instead of predicting a temperature at a particular place at a particular hour, climate models predict an average temperature over a year or longer in a large region or over the entire globe.
First:
- Review Part II (pages 20 – 29) of Climate Change: Evidence, Impacts, and Choices from the National Research Council of the National Academies.
- The Guardian is a well-known British newspaper, and Scientific American is a well-known science news magazine. The following two media reports are about the impact of global warming on food supplies in the western world.
The predictions in the Guardian come from data in a report from the National Climate Assessment Development Advisory Committee.(Note: you will need to scroll down). Have the Executive Summary of this report available to refer to when you are completing your submission.
Next, submit the following:
- A completed Your Science Toolkit (download template) for each news report. You should rely on the Climate Change booklet and Module Notes as references.
