Climate Change at Museum of Natural History
On Thursday, we took a field trip to the Museum of Natural History to see the Climate Change Exhibit. When we first walked in the we saw a long line representing the rate of change of CO2 emission going from the 1900's to now. In the 1950's there was a big jump in the rate of change. We saw a a large screen showing us not to waste time driving cars and to plant more trees. We also learned that when the ice is melting in Greenland and Antarctica how it effects the sea level. We learned that floating ice shelves act as dams to glaciers. We learned that weather is really what we get everyday like rain and sun shine and that climate is the recorded temperature over a long period of time.
