Question

Remember, carbon dioxide helps to trap the Sun’s heat inside the atmosphere. What might happen to temperatures on Earth if your prediction is true?

Answer 1

Carbon dioxide levels will continue to increase in the future. Because carbon dioxide traps heat in the atmosphere, increased carbon dioxide levels would mean increased temperatures on Earth.

Answer 2

The temperatures will increase. This will cause global warming that results to phenomenon such as melting of polar ice, increase in ocean and sea levels, and extremities of weather. Carbon dioxide is a greenhouse gas that allows infrared light to pass through but does not allow heat to escape from the earth surface and atmosphere.
