Assignment:

1. Identify a method to reduce CO2 emissions that can be accomplished over the course of 7 weeks.

2. The a scientific paper "Impacts of Climate Change on Marine Organisms and Ecosystems" list threats and consequences of increasing greenhouse gases in the atmosphere in Table 2 (Brierley and Kingsford 2009.pdfDownload Brierley and Kingsford 2009.pdf). You can also watch this videoLinks to an external site. to get an overview of these consequences. For this question, review the paper and video and discuss:

1. Two major ways (threats) the increase in CO2 is adversely affecting the ocean globally.
2. One way increased CO2 is adversely affecting Florida (regionally). Think of which ecosystems listed in Table 2 of Brierley and Kinsford, 2009 are seen in Florida. Discuss how Florida might be directly affected by increased atmospheric CO2.
3. One way increased CO2 is adversely affecting local communities. From the ecosystems listed in Table 2 (Brierley and Kinsford, 2009) or other resources, which ecosystems are seen in Pinellas County, Hillsborough County, or your county? Describe how your local community might be directly affected by increased atmospheric CO2 emissions. Please make sure you inform your community on the threats and consequence you choose as you approach them with your action plan to avert CO2.

3. Do you think these affect you and/or future generations? Discuss why you think it will or will not affect you and/or future generations.
