Recent research has suggested that globalwarming is contributing to the increased fre-quency and severity of El Niño events. Thiscan cause severe drought in India andAfrica, as well as greatly reduce fish catch inparts of the Southern Hemisphere. Shouldthe responsibility for decreasing greenhousegas emissions be greater for more-developedcountries (MDCs) because they produce agreater amount of greenhouse gases percapita than less-developed countries(LDCs), even though El Niños have moresevere consequences for LDCs? Aside from the recent increases in gasolineprices, would you consider buying a morefuel-efficient car or spend more on planeflights to purchase "carbon credits" to doyour part in decreasing the emission ofgreenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide?Why or why not?
Trends Along Latitude Lines Use the globe icon to change the view to a flat map, and use the gear icon to turn “on” the gridlines. Scan across the globe along each of the latitude lines listed below, and record the biome types present. Latitude Biomes noted at this latitude 60°N 45°N 30°N 15°N 0° In 3-4 sentences, please summarize what you discovered regarding patterns of biome distribution in relation to latitude. Try to include points gathered from lecture material (or earlier in this lab exercise) to deepen your understanding.
Which of the following statements about atmospheric carbon dioxide levels is correct? For about 800,000 years prior to human influence it varied between 180 and 300 ppm and is now above 410 ppm. For about 800,000 years prior to human influence it never exceeded 200 ppm. Its rate of increase in the past century is greater than any seen in the ice core record. Both 1 & 3

It is known that not only the biotic factors are responsible in maintaining and sustaining the Earth’s properties, but also the abiotic factors. Of all the climatic factors given, which do you think is the most significant that affects all factors? Why?
Here is some data about sea level rise in the Chesapeake Bay. The data shows the change in sea level over time. Notice that there are four sea level measurements per year because they are done during each season (fall, winter, summer, and spring). Sea Level Rise Year 0.5 mm 1980 0.4 mm 1980 0.4 mm 1980 0.2 mm 1980 Average 0.6 mm 1990 0.4 mm 1990 0.8 mm 1990 0.5 mm 1990 Average 0.5 mm 2000 0.6 mm 2000 0.9 mm 2000 0.8 mm 2000 Average 0.9 2010 0.8 2010 1.0 2010 1.3 2010 Average Calculate the average sea level rise for each year and fill in the table above. Now create an Excel graph (or use some graphing software) to portray the data from the table above. Insert the graph below. According to the data how is the sea level rise changing over time?

A biome is characterized by seasonal rainfall (about 20 to 100 mm) and temperature (about -10 to 35OC). Globally, the biome is found around 30ON latitude, has many tree species that lose their leaves in the winter, some shrubs and grasses, insects, many medium to small-sized mammals, birds, lizards, and some snakes. This best describes a: Group of answer choices A. chaparral (temperate scrubland). B. boreal forest. C. temperate grassland. D. tropical rainforest. E. deciduous temperate forest.
