5) These graphs show global temperatures (left) and carbon emissions (right) over time. The graph of global temperatures is based on
1951-1980 average temperatures, which was 14 degrees Celsius (57.2 degrees Fahrenheit). The data show how high or low Earth's
surface temperature was above that average (14 degrees Celsius). The Global Fossils Carbon Emissions graph shows annual carbon
dioxide emissions based on fuel type. Human activities such as fossil fuel combustion, cement production, and agriculture all
contribute to carbon emissions. Based on the data shown, what reasonable conclusion can be drawn?
