The driest month receives at least 6cm (2.4in.) of precipitation. All of the above Question 16 Which is false regarding global warming? Selected Answer: There is a surprising lack of correlation between CO2 levels and temperatures. Earth is within 1 C (1.8 F) of the warmest temperature of the last 125,000 years. The warmest year ever recorded was 1998, followed by 2001, and 1997. There is a surprising lack of correlation between CO2 levels and temperatures. The last two decades have been the warmest ever recorded. The rate at which global temperatures are rising is higher than anywhere else in the entire measured temperature record.

Question 18 Greenhouse gases act to temperatures by thermal infrared radiation. Selected Answer: increase; absorbing and releasing increase; reflecting decrease; absorbing and releasing increase; absorbing and releasing decrease; blocking Question 19 Which of these statements is/are true regarding carbon dioxide? Selected Answer: They are all true. Global emissions in 2000 were 400% greater than in 1950, and the U.S. produced 24% of that total. It is responsible for 64% of global warming. CO2 levels are now 31% higher than before the Industrial Revolution. https://swccd.blackboard.com/webapps/assessment/review/review.jsp?attempt_id=_8837927_1&course_id=_11924531_1&content_id=_2876801_1&return_... 4/6
