Thank you for the comments and the question. As we have talked about in class, CO2 may be one of the factors that is causing the climate to change around the world. It is one of the gases that trap heat in the atmosphere and we seem to be getting a lot more lately than we are used to. Some people think it is because of cars and machines burning gasoline, coal, and natural gas, along with some other factors.Does that make sense?
Thanks,
Mr. Wood
