A steady increase in global temperature has been recorded between 1900 and today. Before concluding that this rise in temperature is the result of the increased burning of fossil fuels since that same time, which of the following questions would have to be answered?

• Which gases are released when burning fossil fuels?

• What, if any, temperature rise was occurring prior to 1900?

• How have humans adapted to temperature change?
