Learning Targets“I Can…”
-Read a world map and identify the continents and the most heavily populated countries.-Describe how population growth, along with rapid industrialization over the past two centuries, has affected carbon emissions.-Discuss the relationship between population growth and carbon dioxide emissions, as well as the future implications and responsibilities that come with growing affluence around the world.

Introduction
Introduction
• Carbon dioxide (CO2) is the primary greenhouse gas contributing to global climate change
• Since the Industrial Revolution, humans have been altering the Earth’s climate at an accelerated rate with the increase of CO2 emissions from the burning of fossil fuels.
What you will do today…
• Analyze an on-line simulation of carbon emissions and population change
• Discuss the relationship between population growth and carbon dioxide emissions, as well as the future implications and responsibilities that come with growing affluence around the world
