Climate Change Conditionals

Greenhouse gases are a major contributor to climate change. Use the Internet or other resources to research the effects of climate change.

Write three conditional statements based on your research.
Write the converse, inverse, and contrapositive of each statement. Then explain whether each statement is true or false.
Find a conjecture about climate change, and a counterexample that shows that the conjecture is false.

The greenhouse effect is not all bad. It is needed to beep Earth's climate comfortable for existing life forms. Without it, temperatures would be cooler by about 60°F and many species would die.
Greenhouse gas emissions increased by 70% between 1970 and 2004.
Increased levels of carbon dioxide does more than change Earth's temperature. The ocean absorbs about 30% of the carbon dioxide that is released in the atmosphere. In a process called ocean acidification, a series of chemical reactions occur that forms carbonic acid. Ocean acidification is a problem that impacts the ocean ecosystem as well as commercial fishing and tourism industries.
