Detailed explanation-1: -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-2: -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-3: -The correct answer is b. If humans had not interfered with nature by building industrial societies, the global climate would not have changed significantly. The given statement is true as industrial gases have proved to be the most important factor associated with greenhouse gases.
Detailed explanation-4: -No, “global warming” means Earth’s average annual air temperature is rising, but not necessarily in every single location during all seasons across the globe.
