To determine the average temperature change in the year 2000 using the graph on page 14 of "The Future of Life on Earth" Express edition by Michael Bright, we would need to calculate the difference between the average temperature for the year 2000 and the average temperature for the base period (1961-1990).
On the graph, the average temperature for the year 2000 is shown to be around 0.5 degrees Celsius, and the average temperature for the base period is around 14 degrees Celsius.
Therefore, the average temperature change in the year 2000 can be calculated as:
Average temperature for 2000 - Average temperature for base period = 0.5 degrees Celsius - 14 degrees Celsius = -13.5 degrees Celsius
Therefore, the average temperature change in the year 2000 was a decrease of 13.5 degrees Celsius compared to the base period.
Based on "The Future of Life on Earth" Express edition by Michael Bright (MyOn book)
Use the graph on page 14 of the reading to answer the following question. What was the average temperature change in the year 2000?
