Welcome to Mass Association of Science Teachers Attendees
and history teachers attending
the Global Issues Seminar at the Fletcher School!
Below you will find a special web page containing some of the materials presented by Rita Chang (scroll to the bottom). The workshop focused on activities using ice core data from Antarctica, and modern day measurements and future projections, to connect classrooms to current research and discoveries. To see more materials, please visit our Scientist Gallery to see Dr. Moomaw and Dr. Schrag's pages, and to see our Teachers' Forum.
Global Anthropogenic GHG Emissions
a) Global annual emissions of anthropogenic GHGs from 1970 to 2004.
b) Share of different anthropogenic GHGs in total emissions in 2004 in terms of carbon dioxide equivalents (co2-eq).
c) Share of different sectors in total anthropogenic GHG emissions in 2004 in terms of C02-eq. (Forestry inclues deforestation.)
