11 - Stężenie CO2 (ppm)
✏️ This explanation does not yet exist in your language. Please fill this Google Form if you want to help us!
Pomiary CO2 są prowadzone od 1958 roku na Hawajach, na wyspie Hawaiʻi (Big Island), na zboczach wulkanu Mauna Loa. Zostały one zapoczątkowane przez Charlesa Keelinga. W niebieskim scenariuszu (2°C) wzrastają one do 2040-2050 r., a następnie spadają, ponieważ emisje zostaną ograniczone tak bardzo, że naturalne rezerwuary nie będą już ich absorbować.
1Cause
the card n11 represents the concentration in CO2, understood in the atmosphere (it's written behind the card).
1Consequence
You can recognize the molecules of the different GHGs on the card 13 : H2O (red and white), CO2 (grey and red), CH4 (grey and white), nitrious (blue and red).
1Wrong cause
Why not, but better link card 12 (Carbon sinks) to card 11. Card 12 is meant for that.
2Wrong consequences
It can be argued that CO2 emissions take place before reaching carbon sinks. But the opposite link has our preference.
Players often identify CO2 concentration as a cause for ocean acidification. But it is more logical to link back to carbon sinks.
