Document Summary
Students should be able to : define / explain the significance of red terms, describe the relationship between climate change and major extinction events in deep time. Describe the relationship between climate events within the past 100 million years and minor extinction events: explain why scientists think we are currently facing another major extinction event. Identify what this event is being called (hint: see title slide for this lecture): describe the greenhouse effect, and explain why it is necessary for life to exist. Identify the three main greenhouse gases discussed in lecture, and describe how their concentrations have changed over the past 200 years: explain how topography can impact the velocity of climate change. Describe the characteristics of species that are more at risk due to climate change: discuss the practical steps that we can take over the next 50 years to help mitigate climate change.
