Based on the above graph, the concentration of Carbon Dioxide in our atmosphere began to increase exponentially around 1860.
Today, CO2 is at the highest concentration is has ever been. What do scientists attribute this exponential increase around the 1860s to?
• Glaciers melting and causing ocean acidification
• Increased agriculture and farm animal reproduction
• Combustion of fossil fuels by humans
• Deforestation by humans

Scientists attribute the exponential increase in the concentration of Carbon Dioxide around the 1860s to the combustion of fossil fuels by humans. This release of CO2 into the atmosphere through the burning of coal, oil, and natural gas has been a major contributor to climate change and global warming.
