Name:

Paragraph 2

when carbon dioxide increases in the atmosphere temperatures on Earth’s surface also

increase which seems fine at first glance but a more careful look shows that slightly

higher temperatures over time can have dramatic effects on the planet. Fortunately

the ocean is an excellent absorber of excess carbon dioxide. However there is a

downside to the ocean cleaning up the air it turns the water more acidic. Delicate sea

life such as coral clams and plankton cannot tolerate high acidity. Scientists are

currently studying the risks of acidity on marine life survival and reproduction.

Paragraph 1

have you ever entered a greenhouse on a cool, sunny day. anyone who has ever been

inside a greenhouse knows how warm it can get despite the cooler temperatures

outdoors. Interestingly Greenhouses trap the energy from the sun and keep the plants

flowers and other living things inside warm throughout the day and night. In the

same way gasses like carbon dioxide from Earth’s atmosphere work like a

greenhouse roof by keeping the energy from the sun close to the earths surface. At

night Earth cools down and the heat is released back into space.

Write a one sentence summary of paragraph 1.

Write a conclusion/clincher sentence for paragraph 2 that expresses your opinion.
