Getting Organized 1. In your team of 5 students, get some background information about the greenhouse effect. Write down some ideas about what you know about carbon dioxide and the greenhouse effect. Decide who will be responsible for each topic listed below. Each of you must use word processing to type up your findings for your topic.

At present, it appears that green plants cannot remove the carbon dioxide from the air as fast as humans produce it. An excess of carbon dioxide is a threat. The greenhouse effect is beneficial up to a certain level. It is difficult to predict all the possible effects of a higher concentration of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. Decide how your team will gather the facts about the topics.
