Question
What will happen to the climate, if we stop burning of fossil fuels today?
- Earth's normal temperature would continue to increase.
- Temperatures would remain to warm, then start to cool down in 100 years or more.
- Temperatures would keep on fluctuating but continue to be the same on an average.
- Temperatures will not be rising once greenhouse gas concentrations stopped rising.
Hint:
Burning of fossil fuels emit greenhouse gases
The correct answer is: Temperatures will not be rising once greenhouse gas concentrations stopped rising.
Greenhouse gases affect temperature hence once it is decreased in concentration, temperature will also stop rising.
