Document Summary
Agriculture uses so much oil that biofuels probably use more oil than oil. We cannot experience climate, but we can experience weather . *show the video about the sun to professor: http://youtu. be/uuytcnn7tqk. Increasing albedo effect amplifies the effect of climate change, since more reflective, white permafrost is becoming dark soil. What difference does it make if humans caused climate change or not? . Greenhouse gases trap ir, which, although necessary for maintaining a liveable climate, can have drastic effects if too thick. Think about venus, which is, in fact, hotter than mercury, although it is further from the sun, since it has more greenhouse gases. Climate has been quite stable for the past 100k years, however, that has ensured the success of the agricultural revolution. Certain greenhouse gases trap ir in and some gases keep ir in. For example, some people cover mountainsides with plastic tarps. Every day, our world goes through ~1 million years of plant productivity .
