Assignment: Global Climate Change Q & A In a Word document, answer the following questions: 1.In 1-2 paragraphs, explain the difference between Command and Control and Market Based implementation. 2.In 1-2 paragraphs, explain why it isn't cost-effective to eliminate pollution completely. Use the interactive graphing activity to analyze data on global atmospheric CO2 concentration and global surface temperature, collected at the Mauna Loa Observatory in Hawaii. As you work, answer the five questions. Global Climate Change > Atmospheric CO2 and Temperature Changes 1.What does the first graph tell you about changes global atmospheric CO2 concentration? 2.What does the second graph tell you about the relationship between global atmospheric CO2 concentration and global surface temperatures? 3.Which scales suggest that there is not a connection between global atmospheric CO2 concentration and global surface temperature? 4.How do the scales you identified in question 3 differ from the scale you used in making the original graph? What effect do these differences have on the way a curve on the graph looks? How might this affect interpretation of the graph? Explore this website on Carbon Cycle Science, at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Association's (NOAA) Earth System Research Laboratory. Use the website to answer the following questions: 1.What are the two sources of anthropogenic flux in the carbon cycle? 2.What does the U. S. need to learn in order to manage carbon outputs? 3.Which of the long-lived greenhouse gases has the second greatest contribution to increasing global surface temperature (Give the chemical formula and common name)? Be sure to answer all questions in complete sentences and with enough information to thoroughly convey your key points. Format your paper in APA style with a title page and headings that delineate each topic. The web site is: http://www.esrl.noaa.gov/research/themes/carbon/
