Hi,

Here are some places to look for ideas:

The best experiment that I can think of is to gather historical data on average temperature over the last two hundred years and average CO2 concentrations over the same period and data on the use of fossil fuels over the same time frame, and plot the data on top of one another. Do you see a correlation between them?

This is a very important and timely project. Good luck on it!

Hi!

I just read this article in the Wall Street Journal Newspaper, Friday, January 18,2008 p W3:

It talks about what people are doing themselves to mitigate carbon emissions that contribute to global warming.

This is another good site to visit. See if you can spark an idea from it. If you have any further questions, post them!

There are faults with all these experiments
All allow heat to escape through walls of the containing
vessel. Two of them allow warm air to escape from the air
vessel which is replaced by cooler air so causing it to cool .
In the only refereed experiment it explains that insulation
causes air and CO2 to warm up at same rate.
In my view none of the experiments which are used extensively
in schools etc are scientifically valid.
