There is no relationship between carbon dioxide concentrations and temperatures

We have added carbon bacause of industrilization, travel, and trade.

We have removed more forms of clean energy due to the fact that it is expensive.

We have removed more trees from the Amazon, Central Africa, and South East Asian rainforests.
