PPT-Causes of Climate Change

When you complete this module you will be able to Explain natural causes of global climate change Trace the flow of carbon through the carbon cycle Explain the natural and humanrelated processes that cause increases and decreases in the concentration of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. According to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change rising global temperatures will very likely increase the frequency and intensity of heat waves droughts and heavy rainfall events adversely affecting agriculture forests water resources indu Ms. .
