Part E
Although scientists don't know what the daily weather was like thousands or millions
of years ago, they are able to determine what the climate was like through clues in
rocks, ice, and fossils. The graphs show the percentage of CO₂ in Earth's atmosphere
and the atmospheric temperature over time. CO₂ is considered a greenhouse gas.
Based on the graphs below, what conclusions can you make regarding the amount of
CO₂ in the atmosphere and the atmospheric temperature over time? How do you think
human activity pertaining to CO₂ concentrations might alter Earth's temperatures?
