Albedo is how good at absorbing vs reflecting infrared something is

A. It takes around 200,000 years for carbon dioxide levels to peakB. Before the 1950s, there had never been more than 300 parts per million of carbon dioxide in the atmosphereC. Today's carbon emissions are likely much higher than they used to be because of how much more human activity there is now than in the past, for instance only 300 years ago they did not have cars, they were just starting to use coal so it was not as bad.D. Outgoing radiation is more likely to be trapped in earth because there are more greenhouse gasses to re-emit outgoing radiation to the surface. This would lead to an increase in the earth's temperature because more infared radiation is trapped on earth.E.

Even though this manure produces tons of nitrous oxide I think it is worth it
Man, this methane producing landfill stinks!
Man don't you just love this cool carbon dioxide producing car?
