Flashcards: Natural Disasters and Climate Change

Screen shot 2020 06 17 at 10.17.31 am

The graph compares global surface temperature changes (red line) and the Sun's energy that Earth receives (yellow line) in watts (units of energy) per square meter since 1880. The lighter/thinner lines show the yearly levels while the heavier/thicker lines show the 11-year average trends. Eleven-year averages are used to reduce the year-to-year natural noise in the data, making the underlying trends more obvious. The amount of solar energy that Earth receives has followed the Sun’s natural 11-year cycle of small ups and downs with no net increase since the 1950s. Over the same period, global temperature has risen substantially.

Which of the following is an appropriate conclusion to draw from the graph of global temperature?

It is probable that humans caused the observed global temperature warming trend over the past half-century.

It is probable that the Sun has caused the observed global temperature warming trend over the past half-century.

It is unlikely that the Sun has caused the observed global temperature warming trend over the past half-century.

It is unlikely that humans caused the observed global temperature warming trend over the past half-century.
