The charts below show the parts per million of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere and the average temperature of four cities from the year 1750 to 2000.
The line graph illustrates the amount of carbon dioxide in the air,
while
the bar chart depicts the mean temperature
of four different metropolises, namely Seoul, London, New York, and Los Angeles from 1750 to 2000.
Overall
, there was a significant rise in the volume of carbon dioxide, and all cities experienced an upward trend in temperature
, except for London.
As can be seen from the line graph, the carbon dioxide concentration went up steadily from just 270 parts per million in 1970 to 280, before surging to around 355 parts per million by 2000.
Regarding the bar chart, Los Angeles had the highest average temperature
among the cities in question. The city's average temperature
increased by 5 degrees
Celsius
, from 18 degrees
in 1850 to 23 degrees
in 2000. New York and Seoul followed a similar trend, with their temperatures rising steadily from 12 and 13 degrees
Celsius
to 14 degrees
in 1950, before increasing to 15 and 16 degrees
Celsius
respectively in 2000.
Meanwhile, after several notable rises during the first 100 years, London's temperature
level decreased slightly to approximately 12 degrees
Celsius
in 1900 before remaining stable until the end of the period.Submitted by weezel on
