How do scientists collect evidence about climate?

• Using remote sensing from space satellites.

• By ground based measurements of surface temperature carbon dioxide concentration and sea level.

• . By collecting "proxy data" from tree rings, ice cores and historical records

• All of the above

Climate researchers in Greenland can use ice core samples to tell them about methane in the atmosphere in the past. Researchers found a sample that showed a time period when methane in the atmosphere increased. What happened to amount of energy absorbed by Earth's surface during this time?

During this time, the amount of energy absorbed by Earth’s surface

• stayed at a constant level.

• changed unpredictably.

• increased.

• decreased.
