The anthropogenic greenhouse effect is the effect of greenhouse gases that were emitted as a result of human activity

Percent increase = ( new – original) * 100 / original

Carbon Dioxide = (384 – 280) * 100 / 280 = 37.1%

Methane = (1.785 – 0.700) * 100 / 0.700 = 155%

Nitrous Oxide = (0.321 – 0.270) * 100 / 0.270 = 18.9%

b) Scientists are most concerned about the gases that not only act as greenhouse gases, but dissociate into water to form acidic rain which harms bodies of water

Percent increase = ( new – original) * 100 / original

Increases in atmospheric carbon dioxide lead to increases in average temperature since carbon dioxide is a greenhouse gas and greenhouse gases increase the Earth’s temperature due to the blanketing greenhouse effect

a) a carbon sink is a region (often forested) where lots of carbon is used up in natural chemical processes. Forests are carbon sinks as they use carbon dioxide for photosynthesis to create energy and oxygen

b) By decreasing carbon dioxide concentrations, they can lower greenhouse gases, effectively cooling the Earth

Industry has recently grown tremendously following the industrial revolution. This revolution was created by technological advancements of human activities. Industries often release lots of chemical byproducts such as carbon dioxide into the environment

These temperatures may have occurred before, but the rate of temperature growth to these temperatures has not, which is the problem

The model would only include sources of anthropogenic greenhouse gases, so any source that is human related
