Carbon Cycle

After comparing the carbon emissions of a single car to the amount of carbon a tree absorbs each year, what conclusions can we draw from this activity? (3 correct answers)

• The amount of carbon in the atmosphere is increasing rapidly.

• We need to make cars that emit less carbon.

• We do not have to worry; the trees have more than enough capacity to clean up the carbon in the atmosphere.

• Clearing forests for more homes and businesses will only worsen the problem due to fewer trees to clean the atmosphere.

• The amount of carbon in the atmosphere does not affect the temperature of the Earth and its atmosphere.
