Given the information in the graph, what conclusion can you make concerning the relationship between climate change (increasing global temperatures) and the amount of carbon dioxide released into the atmosphere by land ecosystems? Explain, using information from the graph to support your explanation.
Explain why you agree or disagree with at least 90% the world's climate scientists that (a) climate change is happening now, (b) human activities play an important role in this climate change, and (c) human actions can slow down the rate of climate change and avert or delay its projected harmful environmental, health, and economic effects.
