With reference to Fig. 7, describe the relationship between atmospheric carbon dioxide and global warming and their changes over the years.                                                                                                                                                                                                     [4]                                                                                             
  • Global warming increases with increase in carbon dioxide/Global temperature has a direct relationship with carbon dioxide.
  • During pre-industrial level, carbon dioxide increased gradually by 260ppm with only 1 degree celsius increase in atmospheric temperature.
  • During industrial period, carbon dioxide accounting for anthropogenic warming has increased by 280ppm. Carbon dioxide accounting for natural warming has remained constant.
  • Carbon dioxide given out during industrialisation has resulted in increase of  temperature of 6.6 degree celsius.
