1. 97% of climate scientists agree that
climate warming trends over the past
century are likely due to human activities
2. Yes, Earth has experienced change
due to the tilt of Earth’s axis and
tectonic plate movement; some
changes gradual while others are rapid
3. Yes, global warming is a result,
greenhouse gases, CO2 has increased 43%
in the last 150 years
4. 1990 – 6,000 million metric tons
5. Poor economic management, slow
infrastructure, demonstrations
6. Leading producer of greenhouse emissions,
grew by 182% from January – July 2014, and

9. Since Brasil has one of the 10 largest economies
in the world and is the 8th largest emitter of
greenhouse gases. Brasil should be resonsible for
providing other countries with money to clean up the
effects from climate change
10. A countries economy, amount of
emissions, and vulnerability to climate change
11.Government should decide on acceptable
levels between now and 2050 – the world
can emit no more than 1 trillion metric tons
of carbon; needs to be 80% below 1990 levels
by 2050, range of 350-400 ppm
12. In the Brasilian Amazon, the cost has
declined to $2.80 per ton of carbon – total
cost = $25 million + additional $8 million
13. Our goal is to cut back on deforestation which will
reduce carbon emissions and help developing
countries save their forests and improve their way of
