The planet is about 1.2 DEGREES Celsius warmer than it was in 1850, and most of that arrived after 1975. The mechanism is not complicated: burning FOSSIL fuel adds CARBON dioxide and METHANE, the GREENHOUSE effect holds in more heat, and the rest follows, a GLACIER THAWING, SEALEVEL rising, a longer DROUGHT, a bigger WILDFIRE season. This word puzzle is the vocabulary a science class needs before the graphs.
Frequently asked questions
Is this global warming word search different from the environment one?
Yes. The environment grid is the broad topic; this one is narrower, the warming mechanism and its effects, so the two can run as a pair.
Why is METHANE on the list?
It traps far more heat per molecule than carbon dioxide over a twenty year span. It comes from livestock, landfills, and leaks, and it is the quickest lever to pull.
