The graph below shows the global concentration of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere over Earth s recent history CO Concentration ppm all of these 400 380 360 340 320 300 280 260 L 1880 1900 1920 1940 1960 1980 2000 Year Data courtesy of NOAA Scientists agree that increased concentrations of carbon dioxide in Earth s atmosphere have caused global temperatures to rise over time Many species can only survive within a certain temperature range For this reason species that are unable to adapt to rising temperatures may eventually become extinct A solution designed to preserve Earth s biodiversity could include OA placing critically endangered species in climate controlled environments OB supporting natural and artificial processes that extract carbon dioxide from the air reducing the total amount of carbon dioxide entering the atmosphere OC On
