Abstract

These exercises focus on two issues of global importance: global warming (the “greenhouse effect”) and tropical deforestation. We hope that by doing these exercises and through class discussions, the students will develop an understanding of the biological phenomena related to each issue. They should then, as world citizens, be able to form intelligent, fact-based opinions as these issues evolve and new information becomes available.

Keywords:  global warming, deforestation
