Practice questions

1 of 16Practice questions for this set
A class compares two long-term data sets from 1880–2020. The CO2_2 concentration (ppm) rises from about 290 to about 415 over this period, and the global average temperature anomaly (°C, relative to 1951–1980) rises from about −0.2 to about +1.0. The graphs are aligned on the same time axis and both show an overall upward trend, even though temperatures wiggle up and down from decade to decade. Which statement about the relationship between the two data sets is best supported by the evidence (keeping in mind that correlation alone does not prove causation)?
