  1. KEY CLIMATE SCIENCE CONCEPTS From the ACE Assembly

  2. LIVING LARGE

  3. LIVING LARGE

  4. LIVING LARGE • It takes a lot of energy to live so large.

  5. GREENHOUSE GASES • Greenhouse gases make up less than 1% of Earth’s atmosphere.

  6. GREENHOUSE GASES • Just the right CO2 means just right for life as we know it.

  7. GREENHOUSE GASES • CO2 is measured in ppm – parts per million.

  8. GREENHOUSE GASES • We’re producing TONS of CO2!

  9. GREENHOUSE GASES • All those EXTRA greenhouse gases trap in lots of EXTRA heat, cranking up the dial on the thermostat.

  10. CARBON SINKS • Carbon sinks – gotta love ‘em.

  11. ICE CORES • CO2 and temperature have always gone together (aww…).

  12. C02 STAYS IN THE ATMOSPHERE • It’s like a giant carbon party up there.

  13. METHANE • Methane is 20 times as powerful as CO2 at trapping heat. In fact, over 20% of all methane we emit comes from livestock farting and burping.

  14. 97% • 97% of climate scientists agree that people are responsible for global warming.

  15. Jessie Fischer, ACE | Kansas City Educator Jessie.fischer@climateeducation.org

  16. LIVING LARGE • “All that space you’re using that you never see…”

  17. CO2 LEVELS • Right now we’re at 390 ppm, increasing 100 times faster than ever measured before!

  18. EARTH’s 10 HOTTEST YEARS • Since you were born, we’ve had the Earth’s 10 hottest years – in recorded history!
