  1. The Greenhouse Gas effect on Climate Change Alain Delandsheer Senior Seminar

  2. Greenhouse Gas Effect

  3. Greenhouse Gases? • Methane (CH4) • Water Vapor • Carbon Dioxide (CO2) • Nitrous Oxide (N2O) • Fluorinated Gases

  4. Causes of Climate Change • Natural- radiation, tilt, volcanoes • Anthropogenic- Fossil fuel burning, deforestation, Waste management

  5. Ice Cores • http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kr02VF3ralc

  6. Global CO2 emissions

  7. U.S Greenhouse Gas Emissions

  8. Projected greenhouse emissions

  9. G.W.P

  10. NY Times Article

  11. Methane Bubbling from northern lakes Thermokarst and differing methane concentrations.

  12. Conclusion calculations suggest that tens of thousands of teragrams of CH4 will be released from thermokarst lakes as permafrost warms and thaws in the future, but that, eventually, disappearance of permafrost altogether will result in a net, approximately 50%, loss of lake area and associated CH4 emissions from lakes

  13. Climate model simulation of anthropogenicinfluence on greenhouse-induced climatechange (early agriculture to modern):the role of ocean feedbacks

  14. Great Ocean Conveyor Belt
