2 Global Warming Quiz Since the invention of the thermometer, what decades have the 12 warmest years occurred in?
3 Global Warming Quiz Since the invention of the themometer, what decades have the 12 warmest years occurred in? Answer s and 1990 s
4 Global Warming Quiz What was the warmest year in the last 1,000 years?
5 Global Warming Quiz What was the warmest year in the last 1,000 years? Answer: 1998 > 2005
6 Global Warming Quiz The CO2 concentration in 1900 was 299 ppm. The 1959 level was 316 ppm. What was the concentration in 2003?
7 Global Warming Quiz The CO2 concentration in 1900 was 299 ppm. The 1959 level was 316 ppm What was the concentration in 2003? ppm. rise/run = 17/59 Answer: 376 ppm rise/run = 60/44
8 Atmospheric Carbon Dioxide Concentration and Temperature Change (160,000 years) + The next 100 years
9 Farming the Wind The mission of our lab is to develop agricultural systems in the Midwest that are environmentally, economically and socially sustainable by providing knowledge and technologies for proper land, crop and weed management to enhance the biological, chemical and physical properties of soils and to improve environmental quality.
