The graph shows global temperature change, as measured by satellites , from 1980 to 2015. Based on the graph, Grace claims that global temperature changes are due to natural causes. Which question best supports her claim?

• What was the amount of fossil fuels burned between 2000 and 2015?

• How has the amount of energy received from the Sun changed from 2000 to 2015?

The graph shows the global temperature change compared to the average, over the past 2000 years, based on data collected from ancient climates. Based on this graph, Beneta claims that humans are not causing temperature change, because the warmest period in the past 2000 years did not occur within the last 100 years.

Identify the question that, when answered, whould help determine if Beneta's interpretation is correct.

• What is the atmosphereic CO2 concentration between 400 and 1000 year period?

• What is the atmosphere CO2 concentration during this time period?
