Answer:
The level of carbon dioxide in the now is [tex]386 \ ppm[/tex]
Explanation:
It is given that carbon dioxide at the beginning of industrial revolution is [tex]280 \ ppm[/tex]. It then increased by 38%.
[tex]\frac {final level-initial level}{initial level} \times 100=38[/tex]
[tex]final \ level = 38/100 \ initial\ level+initial\ level[/tex]
[tex]=\frac{38}{100} \times 280 + 280=386 ppm[/tex]
Thus the current amount of carbon dioxide is [tex]386.4 \ ppm.[/tex]
Increasing carbon dioxide level is a growing concern. It is a result of industrialization and urbanization which has serious consequences. Increased level of carbon dioxide accelerates global warming and it increases the temperature of earth.
Question:This data set was created from examining several ice cores drilled at Antarctica's Vostok Station in 2001. Examine the data and write about one correlation that you see. What does the correlation tell you about Earth’s historic atmosphere or climate? (ybp = years before present, ppb = parts per billion, and ppm = parts per million)

edmentum Explanation: There is a positive correlation between the changes in greenhouse gas concentration (methane and carbon dioxide) and temperature. As the concentration of greenhouse gases increases, the temperature increases. As they decrease in concentration the temperature decreases.
