Comparing data on atmospheric carbon dioxide and global temperatures, scientists have concluded that:
There is a correlation between CO2 and global temperature.
There is no relationship between CO2 and global temperature.
CO2 is the only factor that affects global climate.
Increasing temperatures cause CO2 concentrations to increase.
CO2 concentration and temperature are both determined by the amount of methane in the atmosphere.
What is the carbon cycle?
An environmentally friendly type of bicycle.
A circular carbon formation found in sedimentary rocks.
Repeated layers of carbon dioxide gas found in ice cores.
The movement of carbon atoms over time through different substances.
The balance of carbon dioxide and oxygen has been upset by:
burning fossil fuels and deforestation.
increasing human population.
large scale deforestation.
excessive burning of fossil fuels.
increasing human population and deforestation.

destruction of the atmosphere.
destruction of the ozone layer.
greater absorption of the ultraviolet radiation by the atmosphere.
greater absorption of the infrared radiation by the atmosphere.
The Greenhouse Effect:
allows life to exist on planets that have carbon dioxide in the atmosphere.
is due to the light absorbing properties of some atmospheric gases.
negatively impacts life on Earth.
keeps the geosphere from absorbing and emitting thermal energy.
