Question

question 18 of 29
the graph below shows forces affecting climate change. which claim does the graph support?
agents of climate change
thermal disruption (w/m²)
natural processes
human activities
halocarbons
ozone
net change in energy from sun
greenhouse gases
total aerosols
net change due to human activities
warming effect
cooling effect
a. human activity and natural processes have equal effects
b. human activity is the primary force affecting climate change.
c. natural processes are the primary force affecting climate change.
d. natural processes are a tiny cooling force on climate change.

Explanation:

The graph shows that human - activity related warming effects (e.g., from CO₂, halocarbons) are significant compared to natural processes. Natural processes have a small positive (warming) thermal disruption value, while human - activity related factors have a larger overall impact.

Answer:

B. Human activity is the primary force affecting climate change.
