Environmental Science Lab 3

In this lab, you will gather data about CO2 emissions using the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration Web site (Earth System Research Laboratory, n.d.) to help you write up a scientific report centered around known phenomena of CO2 emissions, related to the following question:

  • Would you expect to see an increase or decrease in CO2 emissions in the data over the past 40 years? Why?

Sources of CO2 Emissions

Using the M.U.S.E. link, review the background information, and access the Web site to gather your data.
