In Data Set 1, it is seen that the carbon dioxide levels are on the rise and will most likely to continue to rise at the same, or faster rate than they presently. If this continues to happen, a potential issue it that temperatures for this Earth will soar, because as more greenhouse gases enter the atmosphere, more heat is getting trapped. This will lead to the warming of our Earth, and the more greenhouse gases emitted into our atmosphere, the more the temperature will increase and the hotter it will get.
In Data Set 2, it is noted that average global temperature variations are on the rise as well. A potential issue in the future because of this is the continuous melting of the ice caps. If average global temperatures continue to rise as they …show more content…
Relating to the first data set, a potential issue with this is that global temperatures will increase more and more as the years increase. If carbon dioxide levels are increasing, that means there are more greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, which means that more heat is being trapped, eventually heating the Earth up. More potential issues relating to the Earth warming up can include decrease in ice caps, decrease in glaciers, rise in sea level, etc. but it all depends with the amount of CO2 emitted into the atmosphere and how the Earth heats up depending on …show more content…
A potential issue this can cause is an imbalance in the global temperatures of Earth. It is crucial that the ice caps are frozen because the snow on them actually reflects light back into space; this reflection keeps the temperatures balanced, whereas if they were gone, temperatures would increase faster. Clearly, this a serious issue. The ice caps help keep Earth at a balanced, nice temperature, but the melting of polar ice caps increases the temperature and with the rate at which global warming is progressing, these temperatures can become dangerously high for our
