Question

scientists are trying to reduce the amounts of carbon dioxide and methane that enter the atmosphere. which statement explains what will most likely happen as a result of these efforts? these efforts will cause earths average temperature to increase. these efforts will decrease the amount of heat that the atmosphere traps. these efforts will reduce the amount of sunlight that reflects off the clouds. these efforts will allow more thermal energy to enter the atmosphere.

Explanation:

Carbon dioxide and methane are greenhouse gases that trap heat in the atmosphere. Reducing their atmospheric levels reduces the atmosphere's heat-trapping capacity, which would counteract warming rather than increase temperatures, reduce sunlight reflection, or let in more thermal energy.

Answer:

B. These efforts will decrease the amount of heat that the atmosphere traps.
