Question

Describe how the rising CO2 levels affect weather patterns using the

terms el Nino, la Nina, greenhouse gases, the ozone layer, pollution, and climate.

Answer 1

Broadly speaking, the Earth warms proportionally with increasing carbon dioxide concentrations. Even though average global temperatures stayed the same, higher CO2 concentrations caused a significant increase in extreme heat and precipitation eventsin certain regions around the world.

Step-by-step explanation:

How does increased CO2 affect weather?

It absorbs less heat per molecule than the greenhouse gases methane or nitrous oxide, but it's more abundant, and it stays in the atmosphere much longer. Increases in atmospheric carbon dioxide are responsible for about two-thirds of the total energy imbalance that is causing Earth's temperature to rise.
