These graphs show increases in greenhouse

gasses in Earth’s atmosphere. As levels of

greenhouse gasses have increased, the

temperature of Earth’s surface has risen.

Which change has most likely contributed to a

rise in surface temperatures on Earth?

• The world birth rate dropped to less than 22

  births per 1,000 people per year.

• The president of the United States signed a law

  that created one of the country’s largest nature

  parks.

• Farmers increasingly use chemical fertilizers

  that allow nitrogen and phosphorous to enter

  water sources.

• Humans began using work-saving technologies

  that release carbon dioxide and methane.
