climate change and energy use

The graph shows changes in carbon dioxide

(CO2) concentrations and surface temperatures

on Earth from the years 1880 to 2000.

Why do carbon dioxide concentrations and

surface temperatures show the relationship seen

in the graph?

• because lower carbon dioxide levels mean more

  heat is retained in Earth's atmosphere

• because higher carbon dioxide levels mean

  more heat is retained in Earth's atmosphere

• because lower carbon dioxide levels mean less

  heat is retained in Earth's atmosphere

• because higher carbon dioxide levels mean less

  heat is retained in Earth's atmosphere
