A)The climate forcings of volcanic eruptions are difficult to model.
B)Anomalous temperatures have become more common during the past 50 years as a result of natural forcings.
C)The volcanic eruptions shown have resulted in a long- term cooling trend over the past 50 years.
D)Models that include human emissions of greenhouse gases best explain global temperature trends during the time period shown.

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The models that include human emissions of greenhouse gases best explain global temperature trends during the time period shown. This is supported by the fact that the observed temperatures closely match the simulated temperatures from these models, while the models that do not include human emissions do not match as well. The other options are incorrect as there is no evidence to support them from the graphs shown.
