Scientists know that increasing CO₂ traps more heat in Earth's atmosphere and causes global temperatures to rise.What type of data provides the strongest evidence of this relationship? A) Rising levels of atmospheric CO₂ from the Mauna Loa measuring station B) Comparisons of historical CO₂ levels in ice cores and global temperatures over 800,000 years C) The 1.8°F (1°C) rise in global temperatures since about 1880 D) The FACE experiments, which show increasing NPP with rising CO₂ levels E) Rising levels of carbonic acid in seawater, leading to decreasing ocean pH

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Comparisons of historical CO₂ levels in ice cores and global temperatures over 800,000 years provide the strongest evidence of this relationship because it shows a correlation between the two variables over a long period of time, indicating that increasing CO₂ levels lead to a rise in global temperatures.
