Is It Hot Out There?

This theme focuses on the controversial issue of global warming. Many people are concerned that the burning of fossil fuels, especially coal and gasoline, is sending carbon dioxide and other gases into the air. They believe these gases are causing our atmosphere to trap more of the sun's heat, thus changing our climate. Others believe that changes in our climate are a natural part of Earth's cycle. What do you know about this topic? What do you think you know but are not sure is correct? What would you like to know so that you can better understand this issue? Complete the chart below.
