Which of the following statements accurately connects the concepts of global warming and atmospheric composition?
Which of the following statements accurately connects the concepts of global warming and atmospheric composition?
- Global warming leads to a decrease in atmospheric gases like carbon dioxide due to increased plant growth.
- The increase in gases like carbon dioxide in the atmosphere from cars and factories contributes to global warming. (correct)
