Question
Chapter 57, Problem 10TYU
Summary Introduction
Introduction: Stratosphere is one among the layer of the Earth’s atmosphere. It is the second layer of the atmosphere. The troposphere is the lowest layer of the atmosphere and is present just below the stratosphere. Mesosphere lies above the stratosphere.

- Why is carbon dioxide, a life sustaining, compound considered pollution and how do scientists know that humans are responsible for the increasing levels of CO2 in the atmosphere and global warming? When does carbon dioxide become a pollutant? Global warming has caused a rise in the world’s oceans. How is this affecting world coastlines? How is this affecting the coastline closest to you? Can you envision some popular tourist locations that might be endangered by a rising ocean? Are “greening” efforts like using biofuels and low-carbon imprint practices too little, too late?
