this lab is to research and state reasons for the trend of carbon dioxide emissions from data provided by the Earth System Research Laboratory over the past 40 years. Introduction Fossil fuels, wood, and living organisms are only some of the things that carbon is found in. The Earth uses CO2 to sustain life using the Carbon Cycle. Plants use the carbon for photosynthesis as the humans release the same through respiration. However, carbon dioxide emissions are traced to be increasing with time among

What is carbon accounting? Carbon accounting is measuring, monitoring, benchmarking and reporting an organizations green house gas emission in a given accounting period. Carbon Accounting is not is a greener form of financial accounting. How do you perform Carbon Accounting? First the type and amount of emissions for which the business is responsible is identified and calculated for tCO²-e (tonnes of CO² or equivalent) using internationally recognised methods. The result is a detailed account or

are many unique and interesting birds, fish and plants found in Michigan and throughout the region that are integral to the health of the Great Lakes ecosystem. More than 140 species of birds depend on Michigan’s coastal habitat during their life cycle. Coastal wetlands, beaches, sand dunes and remote islands provide food and shelter for both resident and migratory species. Waterfowl such as Canvasback and Scaup are among the many species that use coastal wetlands as stopover sites to rest and

We inhale oxygen and exhale carbon dioxide.Carbon dioxide is taken into tiny holes in a plant.The plant uses the carbon dioxide and sunlight and water to make their food to survive. One the plant or animal dies decomposers come and break it down . The dead organism, then sinks into the earth, then after a long time they turn back into a fossil fuel. The water cycle is easy to explain it goes like this the water in a pond, it is starting to get hot
