 which of the following would best support the argument that people cause global climate change ? (1) the average globlal temperature has increase 1.5 degree Fahrenheit since 1880 (2) common greenhouse gases include carbon dioxide and water vapor (3) most of the green house gases today come from burning things like coal and other fossil fuels for energy . (4) the average person breathes out about 1.0kg of carbondioxide every day , while the average cow produces about 80kg of methane

The option that would best support the argument that people cause global climate change is:

(3) most of the greenhouse gases today come from burning things like coal and other fossil fuels for energy.

Here’s why:

  • (1) shows that global temperature has increased, but it doesn’t explain why or directly link it to humans.

  • (2) just lists greenhouse gases without connecting them to human activity.

  • (3) directly links human actions (burning fossil fuels) to the production of greenhouse gases, making it the strongest evidence that people are causing climate change. ✅

  • (4) points out natural sources of greenhouse gases from people and cows, but it doesn’t show large-scale human-driven causes like industry and energy use.
