What do CO2 and atmospheric CO2 levels and the global temperature from the last 150 years have in common?

They're both increasing, in pretty good correlation with each other. Most of the increase in carbon dioxide is a result of human activities. Additionally, and similarly, much of the observed increase in temperature is a result of humans.

What has happened to global temperatures as atmospheric levels of carbon dioxide have increased?
They both have increased.
What is the relationship betwee carbon dioxide and atmospheric temperature?
CO2 is a greenhouse gas, meaning that as atmospheric levels of it rise, the temperature should gradually increase. This has, in fact, been observed.
Why will a rise in temperature result in a rise of sea levels?
Atmospheric pressure will rise due to the heat level
What has increased the earth's temperature?
Most climate scientists believe that the increase in atmospheric carbon dioxide levels is the principal cause of recent global warming, and that human activities are substantially responsible for that increase. These activities include burning fossil fuels, manufacturing cement and deforestation.
Does global warming affect intertidal zone?
global warming would indeed affect the intertidal zone, it would affect the water levels, salinity and most likely temperature.
An increase in the atmospheric levels of carbon dioxide is the biggest contributor to What?
An increase in the atmospheric levels of carbon dioxide is the biggest contributor to global warming.
What is an increase in the atmospheric levels of carbon dioxide is the biggest contributor?
An increase in the atmospheric levels of carbon dioxide is the biggest contributor to global warming.
What has happened to global temperatures as atmospheric levels of carbon dioxide have increased?
They both have increased.
What happens when carbon dioxide levels decrease in the atmosphere?
The atmospheric temperature will decrease
What is a hypothesis and what are some examples?
Increased levels of atmospheric carbon dioxide might cause global warming.
What evidence indicates that the rising atmospheric carbon dioxide levels are caused by the combustion of fossil fuels?
the average global temp and the atmospheric co2 level has risen
What is the relationship betwee carbon dioxide and atmospheric temperature?
CO2 is a greenhouse gas, meaning that as atmospheric levels of it rise, the temperature should gradually increase. This has, in fact, been observed.
In which layer does temperature decrease as altitude increases?
Temperature will decrease as the altitude increases at all levels due to the thinning of atmospheric gasses.
In which layers does the temperature decrease as altitude increases?
Temperature will decrease as the altitude increases at all levels due to the thinning of atmospheric gasses.
Why will a rise in temperature result in a rise of sea levels?
Atmospheric pressure will rise due to the heat level
What gas is produced when we burn fossil fuel. How does the gas contribute to global warming?
Fossil fuel is comprised largely of carbon. The oxidation reduction of this carbon (combination of the carbon with atmospheric oxygen) liberates carbon dioxide gas. CO2 is a heat trapping gas. Ergo, raising CO2 levels is expected to raise global temperature levels, and this has been observed.
What is the increase of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere the biggest contributor to?
An increase in the atmospheric levels of carbon dioxide is the biggest contributor to global warming.
