What does NASA think will happen if we stopped emitting greenhouse gases today? a) Global temperatures would stabilize to pre-industrial revolution levels in one year b) Global warming would continue to happen for at least several more decades c) The globe would go into a gradual cooling period and would stabilize at pre-industrial revolution temperature levels in about 5 years d) The globe would go into a rapid cooling period and we would be in danger of mass extinction during the next decade due to a global ice age e) This is a trick question since NASA is the space agency and only deals with outer space and other planets; they do not study the earth
