Computer models are not yet sophisticated enough to predict actual consequences of global warming, but many scholars believe that there will be rapid and increasing variations in extreme weather patterns (e.g. dramatic changes in rainfall, freezing temperatures, storm systems, heat waves, etc.), possible aggravated melting of the polar glaciers causing a rise in ocean levels, disruption of global agriculture, and adverse health effects resulting from unplanned temperature changes (Gore, 2006).

8. Compare and contrast results from previous disciplinary or interdisciplinary research.

(Chemistry, Geology, Ecology, Biology, Botany). While still controversial, the theory that industrialization, pollution, and human technological events affect weather and climate patterns is relatively undisputed. Modern industrial methods release greenhouse gases (GHGs), the most consequential being carbon dioxide (CO2). Of course, some greenhouse gases are already part of the Eco-System, occurring from volcanic activity, forest fires, etc., it is the volume of burning fossil fuels, improper agricultural practices, and...
