Study Notes
Climate Change
- Climate change is a significant ecological concern.
- The Mauna Loa Observatory tracks CO2 levels.
- The latest CO2 reading is 422.12 ppm.
- CO2 levels at Mauna Loa have risen continuously since 1960.
- The Keeling Curve shows this rise, indicating a rising concentration of atmospheric carbon dioxide(CO2).
- Greenhouse gases like CO2, CH4 (methane), and H2O contribute to the greenhouse effect, trapping heat and warming the planet.
