Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The rise in the average global temperature is primarily attributed to increased greenhouse gas emissions, particularly carbon dioxide, which is not directly linked to a decrease in atmospheric oxygen. However, it can indirectly affect oxygen levels through changes in oceanic and land biosphere processes that affect the exchange of carbon and oxygen between these reservoirs and the atmosphere.
