The graph shows data on the carbon dioxide emitted when producing different foods. Which of the following claims is supported by the data?

• The highest carbon emissions come from the production of dairy products.

• Producing 1 lb of carrots results in more CO2 emissions than producing 1 lb of tomatoes.

• Carbon emissions are higher for the production of beef than for chicken and pork combined.

Which of the following are considered to be greenhouse gases? (Select all that apply)

• Carbon Dioxide

• Water Vapor

• Argon

• Methane

What is the role of greenhouse gases in the Earth's climate?

• They help keep the Earth’s temperature stable by trapping heat.

• They reflect sunlight away from the Earth, causing cooling.

• They are released only during volcanic eruptions.

• They react in the atmosphere to distribute nutrients and warmer climates throughout Earth.
