How do scientists collect evidence about climate? 

• using remote sensing from space with satellites

• by ground-based measurements of surface temperatures, carbon dioxide concentration and sea level

• by collecting “proxy data” from tree rings, ice cores, and historical records

• all of the above

Which of the following is a positive feedback loop?

• As it gets hotter, more clouds form and reflect light away from the earth.

• Water as a greenhouse gas heats the earth so more water evaporates.

• Ice melts when it gets hot, so less light is reflected from earth, which makes the earth more hot.

• Options B and C
