Question

The following graph shows the historical concentration of atmospheric carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. Carbon dioxide concentrations began increasing in the 1800s as humans started to rely on combustion for energy (carbon dioxide is a product of combustion). The increase in atmospheric carbon dioxide is linked to the increases in global temperatures known as global warming.

  1. What is the total increase in carbon dioxide between 1950 and 2007?
  2. What is the average yearly increase in carbon dioxide over this period?
  3. What is the total percentage increase in carbon dioxide over this period?
  4. What is the average yearly percentage increase in carbon dioxide over this period?
38. The following graph shows the historical concentration of atmospheric carbon
dioxide in the atmosphere. Carbon dioxide concentrations began increasing in the
1800s as humans started to rely on combustion for energy (carbon dioxide is a
product of combustion). The increase in atmospheric carbon dioxide is linked to the
increases in global temperatures known as global warming
