How has the global average temperature changed since the Industrial Revolution? *       a. The temperature has gone up and down, but remains overall the same       b.  Warmer by more than 1 degree C (2.07 degrees F)       c. Warmer by almost 2 degrees C (3.6 degrees F)   How does the rate of today's warming compare to previous episodes of rapid climate change on Earth? *       a. Today's climate warming is about as fast as the temperature swings that have happened in Earth's past.       b. Past changes in the climate have been faster than the changes we're seeing today.       c. Today, the Earth's climate is changing much faster than it has changed in the past.     We know that variations in Earth's orbit, solar output, and other factors cause changes in the climate. If we removed the human impacts of greenhouse gas emissions, what might the climate be doing today, on its own? *       a. Slight warming       b. Strong warming       c. No change       d. Slight cooling
