Learning Materials for Lesson 22
Read the article Trends in the Sources and Sinks of Carbon Dioxide by C. Le Quere.
- Note: Don’t be intimidated by this relatively technical paper.
- Read the abstract and the first 2 paragraphs carefully.
- Under “Fossil fuel” make a note in paragraph 2 on the difference between production and consumption-based emissions.
- Under each heading read for the main point of that section.
- If there are parts that don’t make sense – read on and don’t worry too much.
- You DO NOT need to read the methods (at the end).
