| The concentrations of greenhouse gases GHG are increasing. The emissions are not uniformly distributed globally. Most of the emissions come from the more developed countries, where power generation, power consumption, and living standards are highest.
In this activity, students will examine graphs of GHG emissions and their increases associated with human activity. They will focus on CO2, CH4, N2O, CFCs, and O3. Students will calculate some personal contributions to CO2 emissions.
