ASSIGN;ENT 03

Basic Instructions:

Choose one man-made source of the Greenhouse Effect and describe one or two ways it is contributing to climate change in our world.

Detailed instructions:Review the content discussed in Videos 2, 4, 5, 7, and 8. Choose a man-made source of the Greenhouse Effect that you want to discuss. This could include the burning of fossil fuels, deforestation, farming, or the disposal of waste. First, introduce the man-made source and define what it is. Then give one to two examples of how it is contributing to climate change in our world. Remember to include:

1. A clear definition of your source (burning of fossil fuels, farming, or disposal of waste). Note: Do not use "deforestation" as our model is of this man-made source of the Greenhouse Effect.

2. One or two specific examples of how it is contributing to climate change

3. Accurate use of the present progressive

4. Cause and effect language (so, therefore, consequently, because of, as a result of, due to)

You should write a paragraph.

Model (Deforestation):There are many things that humans are doing in our world today that are contributing to the Greenhouse Effect. One thing humans are doing that is having a big impact on the environment is deforestation. Deforestation is the destruction or clearing of forests to make land available for other uses. People want land for things like farming and housing, therefore deforestation is happening more. Trees release carbon dioxide when they are cut down. Because of deforestation there are more trees being cut down, as a result more carbon dioxide is being released into the atmosphere. This extra carbon dioxide in the atmosphere created by humans is adding to the problem of climate change.
