How to Ace Greenhouse Effect Questions on Your Exam

Are you consistently losing points on Greenhouse Effect because of confusing the ozone hole with global warming? If so, you're making the exact same error as 80% of your class.

Inside the Professor's Mind

Professors don't write Greenhouse Effect questions to test your basic memorization. They write them to test if you will fall for the classic pitfall: confusing the ozone hole with global warming.

When you sit down for the exam, write that specific trap at the top of your paper so you don't forget it.

What A Correct Answer Looks Like

The ozone hole is caused by CFCs and lets in harmful UV radiation. Global warming is caused by CO2 and methane trapping infrared heat in the lower atmosphere. They are completely different mechanisms.

If your scratch paper doesn't look like that, you are losing points.
