The plant life will grow exponentially, and many of the fish living in this area will die.

The plant life will be destroyed, and many of the fish in this area will die due to a lack of food.

The fish in this area will multiply exponentially, and they will destroy the plant life.

Fertilizer will not affect the area because it only affects the growth of plants that grow on land.

CO2 absorbs heat which makes global temperature rise as CO2 concentration increases.

CO2 levels do not affect the global temperature because the graph shows no correlation between the two.

Global temperature is going to increase so much that the ice caps and glaciers will melt in a few years.

Global temperature is increasing which means CO2 concentration will decrease in the next few years.

As CO2 concentration increases, average global temperature increases.

As CO2 concentration increases, average global temperature decreases.

As CO2 concentration increases, global temperature stays the same.

CO2 concentration and average global temperature have no relationship.
