a) Column 2 measures atmospheric carbon dioxide concentration in parts per million (ppm), while Column 3 measures global pollution represented by various indicators.
b) Two specific data points are: For 1920, the atmospheric carbon dioxide concentration is 303 ppm (Column 2), and for 2020 the global pollution indicators include values such as 6.12 (Column 3). -
The data in column 2 shows a consistent increase in atmospheric carbon dioxide concentration over the years, and the data in column 3 shows increasing levels of global pollution indicators, suggesting a correlation between rising carbon dioxide levels and increasing pollution.
-
The relationship might exist because higher carbon dioxide levels contribute to climate change, which can exacerbate pollution levels and affect air quality, leading to more pollution outputs.
-
Actions could include reducing fossil fuel consumption, transitioning to renewable energy sources, enhancing energy efficiency, promoting public transportation, and implementing stricter regulations on emissions.

1. Describe the overall pattern/trend you see in columns 2 and 3. Include in your description:
a) what is being measured in each column and
b) state two specific data points from Columns 2 and/or Column 3.
Next, describe the relationship of the data in column 2 and column 3 (in other words, how is the pattern in column 2 related to the pattern in column 3?).
3. Explain why the data in column 2 and column 3 are related in the way you described in part 2. You are making a hypothesis/educated guess here!
4. State the actions that could be taken to slow or reverse the pattern/trend in column 2
