Conclusion My first moment of surprise was learning that the

average temperature has increased by 1.4 degrees Fahrenheit around the world. After further research I know that temperatures will only continue to increase.

It was also new to me that volcanic emissions are a natural cause to global warming. When I think of global warming I think of carbon monoxide and solar activity.

This presentation was my first time using hyperlinks in a power point so it was interesting learning how to do so.
