KEY CLIMATE SCIENCE CONCEPTS From the ACE Assembly
LIVING LARGE • It takes a lot of energy to live so large.
GREENHOUSE GASES • Greenhouse gases make up less than 1% of Earth’s atmosphere.
GREENHOUSE GASES • Just the right CO2 means just right for life as we know it.
GREENHOUSE GASES • CO2 is measured in ppm – parts per million.
GREENHOUSE GASES • We’re producing TONS of CO2!
GREENHOUSE GASES • All those EXTRA greenhouse gases trap in lots of EXTRA heat, cranking up the dial on the thermostat.
CARBON SINKS • Carbon sinks – gotta love ‘em.
ICE CORES • CO2 and temperature have always gone together (aww…).
C02 STAYS IN THE ATMOSPHERE • It’s like a giant carbon party up there.
METHANE • Methane is 20 times as powerful as CO2 at trapping heat. In fact, over 20% of all methane we emit comes from livestock farting and burping.
97% • 97% of climate scientists agree that people are responsible for global warming.

LIVING LARGE • “All that space you’re using that you never see…”
CO2 LEVELS • Right now we’re at 390 ppm, increasing 100 times faster than ever measured before!
EARTH’s 10 HOTTEST YEARS • Since you were born, we’ve had the Earth’s 10 hottest years – in recorded history!
