Mauna Loa, HawaiiBy Aria Chambers & Nina Fuentes
GLOBAL WARMING AND CARBON DIOXIDE EMISSIONS
July 2011
WHAT IS MAUNA LOA?
The largest volcano on Earth! Located on the island of Hawaii
It is called Mauna Loa meaning, “The Long Mountain”
Last erupted in 1984

DO THESE MODELS SUPPORT “GLOBAL WARMING????”
Definition: The current rise in average temperature of Earth’s oceans and atmosphere.
How it affects living beings:Sea Ice & Glaciers MeltBirds stay up NorthMore intense hurricanesSea level rises
My Answer:
Yes
CONCLUSIONS……
For both sets of data the graphs linear graphs increase. In particular both sets of data show that as more time passed, both the average yearly temperature and the carbon emissions levels increased.
However the correlation is stronger for carbon emissions than that for measuring the average yearly temperature. This is indicated by each correlation coefficient.
These results indicate that global warming is an issue that needs to studied for the future of the planet.
