Guiding Activities

The Department of Public Information issued a press release in 2007 regarding the increase in population over the next 40 years. Read this press release to familiarize yourself with trends in global population. Once you have read the press release please look at the data provided on population growth as well as the data on CO2 emissions for the countries of the world. Compare the CO2 emissions of the top 5 countries in population growth with that of the United States. Use this information with what you have already learned about pollution to hypothesize the effects that population growth will have on global pollution.
