Today, Atticus and I continued discussing sustainability in the context of climate change and global warming. We read through chapter two of our "The Down-to-Earth Guide to Global Warming." We paused after each paragraph and took notes on the key terms and processes: greenhouse gases, short-wave energy, and long-wave energy. We colored coded our diagram in our notes. We listed several examples of greenhouse gases and discussed the process of sunlight being absorbed by the Earth/bodies of water and radiating that energy back into the atmosphere to be absorbed by greenhouse gases. We discussed that even though the global temperature has risen by 1 degree over the last 100 years and that doesn't seem like a lot, 1 degree can mean a lot of changes take place that may be irreversible. Additionally, the global temperature is still rising every year.
