Question

The graph below shows records of temperature (light gray line) and CO_2 (dark gray line) over the past 1,000 years. CO_2 is If you focus on the data from the mid-1900s (indicated by the arrow) through today, the graph shows that there is no correlation between CO_2 and temperature: CO_2 fluctuates randomly and temperature is constant. there is no correlation between CO_2 and temperature; CO_2 is constant and temperature fluctuates randomly. there is a correlation between CO_2 and temperature, when CO_2 levels are high, temperature is low. there is a correlation between CO_2 and temperature when CO_2 levels are high, so is temperature.

Explanation / Answer

The graph suggests that there is an increase in temperature with random fluctuations. The levels of the CO2 is increasing constantly. But this does not mean that the temperature will increase according to the increasing levels of the CO2. The level of CO2 in the atmosphere has a long term effect and can't be seen be instant. The increase in temperature is because of other gasses along with the CO. So the correct option is B that is there is no correlation between the CO2 such as methane. So the correct option is B that is there is no correlation between the CO2 and temperature, the CO2 is constant and the temperature fluctuates randomly.
