Title
:
Sources of CO
2
Emissions
Instructions:
You will need to write a 1-page lab report using the scientific
method centered on the known phenomena of CO
2
emissions, related to the following question:
•
Would you expect to see an increase or decrease in CO
2
emission in the data over the past 40 years? Why?
When your lab report is complete, post it in Submitted
Assignment files.
Part I:
In the Web site link given in the assignment description, you
will see an interactive map of the world titled “GMD
Measurement Locations.” You can zoom in and out and move
the map around within the window. In the map, choose 5 sites
that are labeled with a star, which will have CO
2
concentrations. Follow the steps below to fill in the data table:
1.
Click on a starred location. (One site will not have CO
2
concentrations.)
2.
Once the starred location opens, on the right side of the screen,
click on the pictured graph “Examples of Data” for CO
2
.
3.
Once the graph opens, make a note of the CO
2
concentrations from previous years to present day. Fill in the
table below.
4.
Repeat steps 1–3 for all other locations.
5.
Use these results in your lab report to help you assess CO
2
concentration trends from 1990 to 2005.
Location Code
Name of City/Country
CO
2
Emissions in 1990
CO
2
Emissions in 2005
Part II:
Write a 1-page lab report using the following scientific method
sections:
•
Purpose
o
State the purpose of the lab.
•
Introduction
o
This is an investigation of what is currently known about the
question being asked. Use background information from
credible references to write a short summary about concepts in
the lab. List and cite references in APA style.
•
Hypothesis/Predicted Outcome
o
A
hypothesis
is an educated guess. Based on what you have learned and
written about in the Introduction, state what you expect to be
the results of the lab procedures.
•
Methods
o
Summarize the procedures that you used in the lab. The
Methods section should also state clearly how data (numbers)
were collected during the lab; this will be reported in the
Results/Outcome section.
•
Results/Outcome
o
Provide here any results or data that were generated while doing
the lab procedure.
•
Discussion/Analysis
o
In this section, state clearly whether you obtained the expected
results, and if the outcome was as expected.
o
Note: You can use the lab data to help you discuss the results
and what you learned.
Provide references in APA format. This includes a reference list
and in-text citations for references used in the Introduction
section.
In this lab, you will gather data about CO
2
emissions using the National Oceanic and Atmospheric
Administration Web site (Earth System Research Laboratory,
n.d.) to help you write up a scientific report centered around
known phenomena of CO
2
emissions, related to the following question:
Would you expect to see an increase or decrease in CO
2
emissions in the data over the past 40 years? Why
Part 1
:
Introduction
The natural balance that occurs between global atmospheric
cooling and warming processes provides an important
contribution to the Earth’s varied climates.
Troposphere gases
Planetary albedo from clouds low in the troposphere, sulfur
dioxide (SO
2
) from active volcanoes, snow, and ice all reflect incoming solar
radiation back into space. This causes a
cooling
effect on climates within a geographical area.
Clouds
high
in the troposphere and greenhouse gases such as water vapor(H
2
O), carbon dioxide (CO
2
) , methane (CH
4
) , and nitrous oxide (N
2
O) have a
warming
effect.
Along with the solar activity, these cooling and warming
processes help ensure that the planet’s average surface
temperature is a net value that is above freezing, helping to
ensure that life is possible.
Theory on CO
2
Emissions
It has been hypothesized that anthropogenic effects (conditions
caused by human activity) that are associated with industry,
agriculture, and fossil fuel use have enhanced these warming
processes by contributing greenhouse gases such as N
2
O, CH
4
,
and CO
2
into the troposphere. As a result, CO
2
is believed to contribute the most to the atmospheric warming
process.
Pollution
Pollution
is a substance that produces a detrimental change in the
environment because of its composition and abundance.
Anthropogenic sources of CO
2
fit this description because of the perception that there is
evidence of a positive correlation between the increases in
anthropogenic CO
2
and increases in temperature. In turn, as temperatures increase,
climates can change worldwide, unbalancing ecosystems across
the globe.
Strategies
Strategies and prediction models can be used to decrease or
eliminate the effects that are associated with a particular
pollutant. First, the cause of the pollution must be identified.
Then, scientists can create innovate ways to reduce or eliminate
its production.
Part 2:
Earth System Research Laboratory
Click on the
National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration Earth System
Research Laboratory, Global Monitoring Division Website.
(Earth System Research Laboratory, n.d.). Here you will
identify important sources of CO
2
emission to help you complete your lab assignment.

Use background information from credible references to write a short summary about concepts in the lab. List and cite references in APA style. • Hypothesis/Predicted Outcome
  • 4. o A hypothesis is an educated guess. Based on what you have learned and written about in the Introduction, state what you expect to be the results of the lab procedures. • Methods o Summarize the procedures that you used in the lab. The Methods section should also state clearly how data (numbers) were collected during the lab; this will be reported in the Results/Outcome section. • Results/Outcome o Provide here any results or data that were generated while doing the lab procedure. • Discussion/Analysis o In this section, state clearly whether you obtained the expected results, and if the outcome was as expected. o Note: You can use the lab data to help you discuss the results and what you learned. Provide references in APA format. This includes a reference list and in-text citations for references used in the Introduction section. In this lab, you will gather data about CO 2 emissions using the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration Web site (Earth System Research Laboratory, n.d.) to help you write up a scientific report centered around known phenomena of CO

Why Part 1 : Introduction The natural balance that occurs between global atmospheric cooling and warming processes provides an important contribution to the Earth’s varied climates. Troposphere gases Planetary albedo from clouds low in the troposphere, sulfur dioxide (SO 2 ) from active volcanoes, snow, and ice all reflect incoming solar radiation back into space. This causes a cooling effect on climates within a geographical area. Clouds high in the troposphere and greenhouse gases such as water vapor(H 2 O), carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) , methane (CH 4 ) , and nitrous oxide (N 2 O) have a warming effect. Along with the solar activity, these cooling and warming processes help ensure that the planet’s average surface temperature is a net value that is above freezing, helping to

Theory on CO 2 Emissions It has been hypothesized that anthropogenic effects (conditions caused by human activity) that are associated with industry, agriculture, and fossil fuel use have enhanced these warming processes by contributing greenhouse gases such as N 2 O, CH 4 , and CO 2 into the troposphere. As a result, CO 2 is believed to contribute the most to the atmospheric warming process. Pollution Pollution is a substance that produces a detrimental change in the environment because of its composition and abundance. Anthropogenic sources of CO 2 fit this description because of the perception that there is evidence of a positive correlation between the increases in anthropogenic CO 2 and increases in temperature. In turn, as temperatures increase, climates can change worldwide, unbalancing ecosystems across the globe. Strategies Strategies and prediction models can be used to decrease or eliminate the effects that are associated with a particular pollutant. First, the cause of the pollution must be identified.
