About how much have global air temperatures near Earth's surface risen in the past century?

zero degrees Fahrenheit

ten degrees Fahrenheit

one and a half degrees Fahrenheit

five degrees Fahrenheit

1

What is happening to the levels of carbon dioxide now?

1

When we burn fossil fuels, we release carbon dioxide into the air. Carbon dioxide traps heat in Earth's atmosphere, raising the temperature of Earth overall.
What can you conclude based on this information?

If we want to stop Earth's temperature from rising, we have to stop burning fossil fuels.

We can stop Earth's temperature from rising by freezing huge chunks of the ocean.

There is no way for us to stop Earth's temperature from rising so we might as well accept it.

Earth's temperature is not really affected by human activities, but it is affected by animals.

What do other scientists study?

1

What is happening to the ice in the Arctic and around Greenland?

It is getting bigger.

It is getting smaller.

It is getting colder.

1

What is happening to glaciers?

1

How are glaciers changing?

They are melting.

They are freezing.

They are bigger.

1

Why might someone living on a beach be more aware of climate change than someone living on a mountain?

Because people living on a mountain would be just as affected by climate change

Because as the water level rises, coastal areas will look different

Because people living on beaches care more about the planet than other people
