     * Unit 3  A: 1991 Warmth, Chill May Follow B: Carbon Dioxide in the Atmosphere Unit 3- About global warming Warm up 1. What is the relationship between global warming and greenhouse effect? 2. Are we experiencing global warming? Unit 3- 1991 Warmth, Chill May Follow Carbon Dioxide in the Atmosphere Global Warming and Greenhouse effect Since the industrial revolution The use of fossil fuels Deforestation and clearing and burning of grasslands to raise crops Cultivation of rice in paddies and use of inorganic fertilizers greenhouse gases release, brought on such as CO2, CH4, N2O, etc. Enhancement of Greenhouse Effect Raising the average global surface temperature Global Warming Fig. 1 Increases in average concentrations of the greenhouse gases CO2 in the troposphere between 1900 and 2000. Fig. 2 The measured changes in the average temperature of the atmosphere at the earth’s surface between 1880 and 2001. Perhaps, we are experiencing global warming The concentration of CO2 in the troposphere is higher than it has been in the past 42,000 years. About 75% of the human-caused emission of CO2 since 1980 are due to fossil fuel burning. Unit 3- 1991 Warmth, Chill May Follow Carbon Dioxide in the Atmosphere The 20th century was the hottest century in the past 1,000 years. Since 1861, the average surface temperature of the earth has risen 0.6±0.2℃, with most of this increase taking place since 1946. Since 1861, nine of the ten warmest years have occurred since 1990, with the two hottest years in 1998 and 2001.
