Document Summary

Today there is a new plan for the government: to cut all of nasa"s plans to monitor the earth by cutting their budget. Calculates the average temperature of the planet every year. Co2: plants use co2 and convert to sugars and energy to give off oxygen. Typically measured in ppm (parts per million) or ppmv (parts per million per volume) Air today is mostly made up of n2, o2, ar (argon), and the rest are trace gases (or very little substance of other gases, including co2) Today the amount of co2 is about 404ppm. Before the industrial revolution, it was 280ppm. Thus we have almost doubled the amount of co2 in the air. Daimler (chrysler), benz (mercedes), watt (steam engine) all kick started the. Industrial revolution in the 1900s by combusting fossil fuels for energy. We took carbon that fell to the ocean floor and piled up over millions of years.
