Which data best supports the claim that the current climate change is linked to human caused increases in greenhouse gases.
Which reasoning below would explain the annual up and down seasonal pattern in CO2 at Mauna Loa Observatory?
During the winter in the northern hemisphere, we use more CO2 to heat our homes, so CO2 increases.
During the winter in the northern hemisphere, we drive less so CO2 decreases.
During winter in the northern hemisphere, there is less vegetation to absorb CO2 therefore CO2 rises.
During the winter in the northern hemisphere, we burn less fossil fuels in industry than in the spring, therefore CO2 decreases.
