During the ice ages, the earth was covered in ice. as a result, a much higher percentage of solar power was reflected back out of earth’s atmosphere without ever warming the planet as compared to today.

a) using the imperfect single layer model, calculate the effect this change in albedo had on earth’s surface temperature.

b) is the change in albedo a positive feedback mechanism (in which the change leads to more change) or a negative feedback mechanism (is which the change tends to prevent further change). explain.

c) check your answer with the greenhouse phet simulation. what’s different between your calculation and what the phet might be taking into account?

Look at the data above. provide an explanation for europe’s projected population decrease by the year 2050. (i'm doing this for future kids) the answer is : the percentage of people over the age of 65 and under the age of 15 in europe is currently the same at 16% each. therefore, the majority of the population is between the ages of 16 and 64. in forty years from now, in 2050, a greater percentage of the population will be over the age of 65. europe also has a relatively long life expectancy of 75 years. this, combined with a low birth rate means that by 2050 europe’s population will actually be less than it is today.
