Read the text. Answer the question. The greenhouse effect: fact or invention? Living beings need energy to survive. The energy that life on Earth receives comes from the Sun. Due to its enormous heat, it radiates energy into space. A tiny part of this energy reaches the Earth. The atmosphere of the Earth acts as a protective blanket over the surface of our planet, preventing the temperature fluctuations that would occur in an airless world. A large part of the incoming solar energy penetrates through the Earth's atmosphere. The Earth absorbs a part of this energy, and another part is radiated back from the Earth's surface. This reflected energy is partially absorbed by the atmosphere. As a result, the average temperature above the Earth's surface is higher than it would be if there were no atmosphere. The Earth's atmosphere has the same effect as a greenhouse, hence the term greenhouse effect. The greenhouse effect is said to have intensified in the 20th century. The fact is that the average temperature of the Earth's atmosphere has increased. In newspapers and magazines, the main reason for the rise in temperature in the 20th century is often stated to be the increased carbon dioxide emissions. The student Alex begins to be interested in the possible connection between the average temperature of the Earth's atmosphere, and the emissions of carbon dioxide on Earth. In a library, he finds the following two graphical representations. Your classmate Alex concludes from these two graphical representations that the increase in the average temperature of the Earth's atmosphere is most certainly due to the increase in carbon dioxide emissions. What feature of the graphic representations supports Alex's conclusion? As emissions decreased, the temperature increased. Both graphs are sinking. The temperature falls when carbon dioxide is emitted. As emissions increased, so did the temperature. The increase in the average temperature of the Earth's atmosphere is most certainly due to the increase in carbon dioxide emissions, because both graphs began to decline in 1960. The increase in the average temperature of the Earth's atmosphere is most certainly due to the increase in carbon dioxide emissions, because both graphs began to rise in 1960. The information lines on the graphs rise differently. The temperature in the 19th century remains pretty much the same, but the first graph continues to rise.

The greenhouse effect: fact or invention?
Living beings need energy to survive. The energy that life on Earth receives comes from the Sun. Due to its enormous heat, it radiates energy into space. A tiny part of this energy reaches the Earth.

The atmosphere of the Earth acts as a protective blanket over the surface of our planet, preventing the temperature fluctuations that would occur in an airless world.

A large part of the incoming solar energy penetrates through the Earth's atmosphere. The Earth absorbs a part of this energy, and another part is radiated back from the Earth's surface. This reflected energy is partially absorbed by the atmosphere.

As a result, the average temperature above the Earth's surface is higher than it would be if there were no atmosphere. The Earth's atmosphere has the same effect as a greenhouse, hence the term greenhouse effect.

The greenhouse effect is said to have intensified in the 20th century.

The fact is that the average temperature of the Earth's atmosphere has increased. In newspapers and magazines, the main reason for the rise in temperature in the 20th century is often stated to be the increased carbon dioxide emissions.

The student Alex begins to be interested in the possible connection between the average temperature of the Earth's atmosphere, and the emissions of carbon dioxide on Earth. In a library, he finds the following two graphical representations.

Your classmate Alex concludes from these two graphical representations that the increase in the average temperature of the Earth's atmosphere is most certainly due to the increase in carbon dioxide emissions.

What feature of the graphic representations supports Alex's conclusion?

As emissions decreased, the temperature increased.
Both graphs are sinking.
The temperature falls when carbon dioxide is emitted.
As emissions increased, so did the temperature.
The increase in the average temperature of the Earth's atmosphere is most certainly due to the increase in carbon dioxide emissions, because both graphs began to decline in 1960.
The increase in the average temperature of the Earth's atmosphere is most certainly due to the increase in carbon dioxide emissions, because both graphs began to rise in 1960.
The information lines on the graphs rise differently.
The temperature in the 19th century remains pretty much the same, but the first graph continues to rise.
