ESS3-5 climate change geological history

CO2 and other green house gasses trap heat in the atmosphere like a warm blanket wrapped around the Earth. This leads to an increase in Earth's average surface temperature called:

• global heating

• global cooling

• global acid

• global warming

The Anthropocene is known "the age of humans" because:

• It is the first time in Earth's history where humans have had an impact on the environment.

• Technology we rely on is unsustainable and contributing to climate change and extreme weather events.

• We are releasing CO2 into the atmosphere at alarming rates.

• Human activities burn fossil fuels and this is leading to global warming.
