\"Global Climate Change\" refers to shifting trends in thelong-term weather patterns (\"climate\") across the globe, andincludes phenomena such as global warming. At its root is a steadyincrease in the atmospheric concentration of several gases called\"greenhouse gases\", some of which are released through burningfossil fuels such as gasoline, coal, and natural gas. Onegreenhouse gas is carbon dioxide, an input for photosynthesis andan output of cellular respiration. Your assignment for thisDiscussion Board to is investigate the following questions:
1.What is a greenhouse gas?
2.When and why is carbon dioxide considered a pollutant?
3.How do scientists know that humans are responsible for theincreasing levels of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere that lead toclimate change?
4.What are the consequences of increases in the concentrations ofcarbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases?
5.What are some options suggested to help combat this issue?
In your Individual Post, label your answers #1-5 so it is clearwhich question you are answering. Be sure to cite and referenceyour sources in APA format so others can check them out whenresponding to you.
