BIO FINAL: pt. 6

a natural proccess that allows life on this

temperatures would be ~30C cooler and there would be no liquid ice

• CO2
• nitrous oxide
• CFCs

short wave solar radiation to pass through atmospere, but absorb emitted infrared

put GHGs into a jar and heat them up

the release of fossil fuels coupled with very slow changes in solar radiation

rapidly (incredibly)accelerated what is otherwise a natural process

• ~0.6C (1F)
• 100 years

Because while the majority of the Earth is warming, there are some locations getting cooler or staying the same. Since heat is being moved around from place to place changing climates, it isn't uniformly warming

• sea level is rising because of glaciers rising
• animals and plants are changing mating habits
• morality rates due to heat are higher

• half of the worlds coral reefs have been lost in the past in the past 30-50 years
• much of this loss in the past 10-15 years is due to slight temp. icrease

• 1. rates at which enzymes work
• 2. properties of lipids in cell membranes
• 3. proteins cook at higher temp.
• 4. temp. of organisms body drives survival, reproduction, and fitness

a major input of heat to may organisms

rate of exchange changes with increasing wind speed
