Integrating and Evaluating Multiple Sources of Information

In this assignment, you will integrate and evaluate information from various sources to address questions related to climate change. You will analyze textual data, a graph, and a table to draw conclusions and solve problems. This exercise will help you develop skills in synthesizing information from different media and formats, a key component of critical thinking and problem-solving.

Use the provided textual, visual, and quantitative data to answer the following questions about climate change and its impact.

In 2020, the global average temperature was about 1.2°C above the pre-industrial level, making it one of the hottest years on record.

Table: CO2 Emissions by Country (2019)
| Country | Emissions (MtCO2) |
|---------|------------------|
| USA     | 5,416            |
| China   | 10,065           |
| India   | 2,654            |

Source 1.3: Global Carbon Project, 2020

Based on the excerpt from the World Meteorological Organization, what can be inferred about the trend in global temperatures over the past decades?

What does the graph of global temperature anomalies suggest about the frequency of temperature increases?

Temperature increases have been consistent each year.
There have been fluctuations, but an overall upward trend is evident.
Temperature increases have only occurred in the last five years.
There is no clear trend in temperature changes.

Evaluate the relationship between CO2 emissions by country and global temperature changes. Consider the data provided in the table and the graph. Discuss how these sources of information complement each other and what challenges might arise when integrating them.
