graph below shows a relationship between
human emissions of CO2 and atmospheric CO2
concentrations during part of the last century.
The table lists the concentrations of CO2 in
Earth's atmosphere and average surface
temperatures on Earth at two times in the past
century.
Which argument can BEST be made about the
contribution of human activities to changes in
global temperatures based on the data shown?
Human activities are decreasing the
concentration of CO2 in Earth's atmosphere,
which is decreasing global temperatures.
Human activities are increasing the
concentration of CO2 in Earth's atmosphere,
which is increasing global temperatures.
Human activities are increasing the
concentration of CO2 in Earth's atmosphere,
which is decreasing global temperatures.
Human activities are decreasing the
concentration of CO2 in Earth's atmosphere,
