Due to global warming, the temperature of the earth has increased by ________
-
A.
0.8°C
-
B.
0.5°C
-
C.
0.7°C
-
D.
0.6°C
Correct Answer:
D. 0.6°C
Explanation:
The global average surface temperature has risen by approximately 0.6 degrees Celsius between 1905 and 2005. This warming trend is primarily attributed to human activities, specifically the burning of fossil fuels, which increases the concentration of heat-trapping greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide and methane in the atmosphere. While the total increase since the pre-industrial era has now reached approximately 1 to 1.1 degrees Celsius, the specific historical increment recorded for the 100-year period ending in 2005 was roughly 0.6 degrees Celsius.
