1. Based on current models, the world’s current trajectory of carbon dioxide emission will result in between a 2ºC and 4ºC rise in average global temperature. What is the importance of this prediction?a. Temperature changes of this size will cause an ice age. b. A 4ºC increase in temperature increase the salt content of the ocean currents.c. There is no importance as this change will definitively not matter.d. Temperature changes of this size will likely cause increases in global sea levels. 2.A 84kg block of a material was heated by the addition of 456 kilojoules of energy. If the block was initially at 26ºC, what is its final temperature? The specific heat of the material is 900 J/(kg-ºC). 3.
