Explanation Given Information: In 2016, the CO 2 level in the atmosphere was 405 ppm and the rate of increase remains constant at 2.1 ppm from 2016 until 2100. Calculation: Consider the given values, In 2016, the CO 2 level in the atmosphere was 405 ppm. The rate of increase in CO 2 level remains constant at 2.1 ppm from 2016 until 2100. Let, x is increase in CO 2 level until year 2100. So, the CO 2 level in 2100 is calculated as, x = ( 2100 − 2016 ) 2.1 x = 84 × 2.1 x = 176.4 Round this product to significant digit, which is the accuracy of the least accurate measurement

To determine

To calculate: The expected CO₂ level in our atmosphere by the end of the year 2100 if the rate of increase is 2.1 parts per million (ppm) per year from 2016. The rate of increase remains constant from 2016 until 2100. In 2016, the CO₂ level in the atmosphere was the highest levels in 650,000 years, standing at 405 ppm.
