Pregunta 6
Pregunta
Why do you think we use 1951-1980 as our "normal" or zero value, especially considering climate change was likely happening during this time?
Respuesta
-
That was probably when we started burning fossil fuels
-
The data, especially ocean data, was pretty inaccurate and started getting better starting in 1950's...
-
scientists do not want to scare people so they use a "normal" value that keeps the temperature anomalies lower.

the maximum anomaly
-
the minimum anomaly
-
unknown data
-
the "normal" or baseline data.
Pregunta 8
Pregunta
Temperatures did not rise from 2005 to 2010, this means climate change may not be happening. This is an example of...
