1. Carbon Dioxide, the Greenhouse Effect, and Recent Global Warming
Carbon dioxide is a greenhouse gas that strongly absorbs infrared radiation and plays a
major role in warming the lower atmosphere. We also know that carbon dioxide has been
increasing steadily in the atmosphere, primarily due to the burning of fossil fuels.
However, deforestation may also be adding to this increase as tropical rainforests are
removed and replaced with less efficient plants. In 1990, the annual average of carbon
dioxide was about 350 parts per million, and present estimates are that this value may
double sometime in century
To complicate the picture, three
gases such methane nitrous oxide and
chlorofluorocarbons, all of which readily absorb infrared radiation have been increasing in
concentration over the past century. Collectively, these gases are about equal to carbon
dioxide in their ability to enhance the atmospheric greenhouse effect Moreover, rising
ocean temperatures will cause an increase in evaporation rates and hence an increase in
atmospheric water vapor, which is the most potent greenhouse gas The added water vapor
accelerates the temperature rise Recent satellite measurements have confirmed this
as

Read the passage. excerpt from "why equal pay is worth fighting for" by senator elizabeth warren, april 17, 2014 i honestly can't believe that we're still arguing over equal pay in 2014. when i started teaching elementary school after college, the public school district didn't hide the fact that it had two pay scales: one for men and one for women. women have made incredible strides since then. but 40 years later, we're still debating equal pay for equal work. women today still earn only 77 cents for every dollar a man earns, and they're taking a hit in nearly every occupation. bloomberg analyzed census data and found that median earnings for women were lower than those for men in 264 of 265 major occupation categories. in 99.6 percent of occupations, men get paid more than women. that's not an accident; that's discrimination. the effects of this discrimination are real, and they are long lasting. today, more young women go to college than men, but unequal pay makes it harder for them to pay back student loans. pay inequality also means a tougher retirement for women. . for middle-class families today, it usually takes two incomes to get by, and many families depend as much on mom's salary as they do on dad's, if not more. women are the main breadwinners, or joint breadwinners, in two-thirds of the families across the country, and pay discrimination makes it that much harder for these families to stay afloat. women are ready to fight back against pay discrimination, but it's not easy. today, a woman can get fired for asking the guy across the hall how much money he makes. here in the senate, sen. barbara mikulski (d-md.) introduced the paycheck fairness act to give women the tools to combat wage discrimination. it would ensure that salary differences have something to do with the actual job that they are doing, and not just because they are women. senator warren states that the effects of pay discrimination are long-lasting. is this a valid argument supported by accurate evidence? no; warren weakens her point by claiming that the paycheck fairness act would "give women the tools to combat wage discrimination." yes; warren supports her point by noting, "for middle-class families today, it usually takes two incomes to get by." yes; warren supports her point by noting, "pay inequality also means a tougher retirement for women." no; warren weakens her point by noting, "today, a woman can get fired for asking the guy across the hall how much money he makes."
