You have learned in Biology class that co2 in the atmosphere is taken out of the air by plants and trees through photosynthesis and replaced with breathable oxygen. a. does this statement support global warming deniers? Explain. b. Does this statement support climate science research? Explain. c. Does your answer change when you consider deforestation and increased demand for paper and housing? zz19105 https://padlet.com/lisle202/5aukrta7u8ea/wish/335397494 a. yes. CO2 traps heat radiation in the earth and plants not being able to convert CO2 to O2 contributes to global warming. 
b. Yes. refer to question 23 and then question 18.  
c. No. The less trees we have the worse our CO2 levels will get. The more CO2 the more heat that is trapped. ]]> 2019-02-26 15:06:43 UTC https://padlet.com/lisle202/5aukrta7u8ea/wish/335397494 Droughts and forest fires are on the rise all around the world. If there is no water for the plants to drink and survive, how can they effectively remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere? zz19105 https://padlet.com/lisle202/5aukrta7u8ea/wish/335398927 Since photosynthesis requires H2O, plants will not be able to effectively remove CO2 from the earth with out water. There are oceanic plants that will be okay so humans will not completely run out of oxygen but the ratio of oxygen to CO2 will be worse. ]]> 2019-02-26 15:08:49 UTC https://padlet.com/lisle202/5aukrta7u8ea/wish/335398927 How does tree ring growth or lack of growth support or refute climate changes in the last 100 years? zz19105 https://padlet.com/lisle202/5aukrta7u8ea/wish/335399980 Tree rings are sensitive to climate conditions. "tree rings usually grow wider in warm, wet years and they are thinner in years when it is cold and dry. If the tree has experienced stressful conditions, such as a drought, the tree might hardly grow at all in those years" Since many trees are much older than 100 years, scientists can compare recent growth years to years from the past to either. Lack of growth supports the argument that our climate is changing for the worse.
