Opening

What do you see?
Where does this occur?
Why does this occur here?
Is this desired?
Is this the case everywhere? 

Goals

At the end of the lesson, you can:

• Explain how the enhanced greenhouse effect works
• What fossil fuels are
• What renewable energy is

Opening video

Write this questions in your notebook

1. What is the greenhouse effect?

2. What is the enhanced greenhouse effect? 

Koolstofkringloop

Greenhouse gases

Consists of greenhouse gases (hydrogen, nitrogen, carbondioxide etc)

Fossil fuel

Fuel (natural gas, oil and coal) formed over millions of years from plant or animal remains.

Atmosphere

The air around us.

Enhanced greenhouse effect

The bigger picture

CO2 measurements last 2000 years

Discuss with neighbour

How will global warming affect NL?

Name three consequences!

Consequence: sea level rise

The small picture

Impact of climate change in the Netherlands

• Sea level rise
• More extreme weather (extreme rainfall, long period of drought)
• Warmer average annual temperature

More in paragraph 2

Energy transition

In order to emit less CO2, energy saving and renewable energy sources instead of fossil fuels can be used.

Fossil fuels

• Fuel formed over millions of years from the remains of dead plants, trees and animals (natural gas, petroleum and coal)

Renewable energy sources

• Resources that, when used, never run out.
• They also do not contribute to the enhanced greenhouse effect, as they release (virtually) no CO2.
