Global climate change is increasing our planet’s temperature at an alarming rate.
A
True
B
False
C
Either A or B
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -According to NOAA’s 2021 Annual Climate Report the combined land and ocean temperature has increased at an average rate of 0.14 degrees Fahrenheit ( 0.08 degrees Celsius) per decade since 1880; however, the average rate of increase since 1981 has been more than twice as fast: 0.32 °F (0.18 °C) per decade.

Detailed explanation-2: -Since 1880, average global temperatures have increased by about 1 degrees Celsius (1.7° degrees Fahrenheit). Global temperature is projected to warm by about 1.5 degrees Celsius (2.7° degrees Fahrenheit) by 2050 and 2-4 degrees Celsius (3.6-7.2 degrees Fahrenheit) by 2100.

Detailed explanation-3: -Global average surface temperature has risen at an average rate of 0.17°F per decade since 1901 (see Figure 2), similar to the rate of warming within the contiguous 48 states.

Detailed explanation-4: -Global warming describes the current rise in the average temperature of Earth’s air and oceans. Global warming is often described as the most recent example of climate change.

Detailed explanation-5: -Global temperatures rose about 1.8°F (1°C) from 1901 to 2020. Sea level rise has accelerated from 1.7 mm/year throughout most of the twentieth century to 3.2 mm/year since 1993. Glaciers are shrinking: average thickness of 30 well-studied glaciers has decreased more than 60 feet since 1980.
