It sets learning goals for students to relate biochemical concepts to climate processes, identify greenhouse gases and their biochemical pathways, and interpret climate data. The content emphasizes the biochemical basis of feedback loops, the impact of climate change on ecosystems, and examines mitigation strategies.

Students must create an 8-minute presentation that includes an issue statement, background information, point/counterpoint, proposed solutions, conclusions, and references. Google Slides is recommended for organization and sharing, with guidance on collaboration and submission through a class website.

(The geological interval from 66 million years ago to now is called the Cenozoic Era and consists of 3 periods: the Paleogene until 23 MYA, the Neogene until 2.6 MYA, and the Quaternary.) A group, the Cenozoic Carbon Dioxide Proxy Integration Project (CenCO2PIP) Consortium, reviewed and reevaluated all "proxy" measurements used to determine past cli…

The aquatic medium—water— has different physical and chemical properties than air, however. Even if the water in a pond or other body of water is perfectly clear (there are no suspended particles), water, on its own, absorbs light. As one descends into a deep body of water, there will eventually be a depth which the sunlight cannot reach.

The pH level of the oceans is projected to decrease even more by the end of the century as CO 2 concentrations are expected to increase for the foreseeable future.

It examines the movement of carbon through various Earth systems, like the atmosphere and oceans, detailing the processes of photosynthesis, respiration, and rock weathering. Human activities such as fossil fuel combustion are highlighted as major disruptors, increasing atmospheric CO2 and driving climate change.
