Introduction

You are a scientist looking for the evidence that global warming is really happening. Many are putting the blame for this on the increase in travel. More cars and the increase in the numbers of people travelling by plane. This has increased the rate at which fossils fuels are being burnt.

You have average global temperature data for the last 40 years. There seems to be some connection between the temperature on the planet and the amount of at least one gas in the atmosphere. You have the concentration measurements of this gas in the atmosphere for the same time period.

This gas is produced when fossil fuels are burnt.
