Q2 Review
• Why is the heating of the atmosphere called the “greenhouse effect.”
• What percent of sunlight that reaches Earth is absorbed by clouds and
the atmosphere?
Which greenhouse gas is considered the primary driver of climate change by many scientist today?
A climate “alarmist” will often reference what occurrences as evidence of climate change?
True or False
“The most abundant greenhouse gas in the atmosphere is carbon dioxide.”
What role does clouds play in the greenhouse effect?
True or False
“Greenhouse gases traps heat but does not block incoming sunlight.”

something and the real answer is “apple”. Mrs. Mahoney says that the answer is “apple”, but Mr. Johnson says that the answer is pine tree. Since they hate arguing they decide to settle on the answer being “pineapple”, so now neither of them are correct!
