GEOG 111 Lecture Notes - Lecture 7: Deforestation, Atmospheric Chemistry, Dust Bowl
Document Summary
Mainly the people who are publicly skeptical of climate change are politicians who are either stupid or willfully ignorant. Instrumental records, satellite data, and glacial ice data all confirm global warming. Climatologists, glaciologists, and atmospheric chemist all study different data and all agree, as do pretty much scientists in general. Resources: fossil fuel crisis in 100 years, high plains aquifer reduced, dust bowl, tropical deforestation, deforestation of europe, death of north american megafauna. Environment/ecology: damming of major rivers, next global extinction, invasive species. Greenhouse gases like co2 have more impacts than just climate change.
