Assignment 3

Plants and Global Warming


There is currently a great deal of effort being invested in studying the effects of various "greenhouse gases" on global warming. Some models predict rather dire consequences to the climate of Planet Earth if greenhouse gas accumulation continues at its present rate. This assignment asks you to explore the relationship between plants and the global warming caused by the accumulation of green house gases.
