Question:

Examine the graph in Figure 1.14 and answer each question.

(a) What was the concentration of carbon dioxide in 1960?

(b) What was the concentration in 2010?

(d) What is the average rate of increase over this time?

(e) If the average rate of increase from part d remains constant, estimate the carbon dioxide concentration in 2050. (Use the concentration in 2010 as your starting point.) Carbon dioxide concentration (parts per million) 410 400- 390 380 370- 360 350 340 330 320 310 300 290
