Introduction
Earth would be too cold to inhabit without the greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide, and water vapor. These gases in
Earth's atmosphere absorb and emit heat energy,
creating the greenhouse effect that keeps our
planet's temperature livable.
Since the industrial revolution, people have burned
vast amounts of coal, petroleum, and other fossil
fuels to create heat and power. This releases carbon
dioxide, the most plentiful human-produced greenhouse
gas, into the atmosphere. The result: more heat is trapped in Earth's atmosphere instead of radiating out into space.
Nice graphs! I would recommend adding more writing to supplement the graphs. I also noticed you only have 3 sources so far, so I'm assuming you'll be adding more information to the website. I would like to know more about long term effects of CO2 emissions besides it causing temperatures to rise. Perhaps how living organisms or a particular ecosystem will be affected?
ReplyDeleteSome good graphics that are very informative and supportive about your topic. I would recommend adding more to this page since it is the introduction/backrground. You should try to include some more background on the topic.

I also think you could expand this section just a little more. Maybe you could provide a brief explanation of the main consequences of carbon dioxide emissions. The information and visuals you have so far are great!
