Presentation Summary

Carbon is a building block of life on earth, yet a surplus carbon dioxide in the atmosphere has disturbed the balance of nature, contributing to devastating climate change. The carbon cycle moves carbon around our world, but human activities are causing CO2 emissions in our atmosphere to rise, leading to the enhanced greenhouse effect and climate change.
