does that have to do with climate change? As China and its neighbors economies grow‚ the need for more energy increases. In order to meet their energy demands‚ industries have to use fossil fuels for energy. Fossil fuel burning accounts for 75% of the total global energy use (Ciserone‚ 2000‚ p. 1). When fossil fuels are burned‚ greenhouse gases are released into the atmosphere thickening the air‚ trapping heat and other pollutants increasing the chances for climate change thru human induced activities

Lab 4: Climate Variables and the Change in Western United States’ Levels Abstract: The purpose of the lab was to determine the outcome of the daily time steps from 1958-2062 of the Western United States and compare them. That was done by using three factors in three different time periods; was placed in a global change model simulation of complex models and were then compared to determine the outcome of the experiment. What all these graphs meant was that the overall Ocean Mixed-Layer Temperature
