Issues) and complete the virtual lab. In this lab
you will use a computer model to explore how
human activities are creating a blanket of
heat-trapping pollution in Earths atmosphere.
The model illustrates sources of top
heat-trapping pollutants and their general
impacts on Earths temperature.
Most of us are aware of the energy concerns of
today and the future. There are many pros and
cons to the energy sources we currently use. For
this forum choose one of the following to
