Description

This flow chart shows the sources and activities across the U.S. economy that produce greenhouse gas emissions.

Science and Engineering Practices

  • Analyze data using tools, technologies, and/or models (e.g., computational, mathematical) in order to make valid and reliable scientific claims or determine an optimal design solution.

Disciplinary Core Ideas

  • Resource availability has guided the development of human society.
  • Changes in the atmosphere due to human activity have increased carbon dioxide concentrations and thus affect climate.
  • All forms of energy production and other resource extraction have associated economic, social, environmental, and geopolitical costs and risks as well as benefits. New technologies and social regulations can change the balance of these factors.
