Greenhouse effect
Because of the combustion of fossil fuels, the concentration of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere is increasing. Research indicates that this will result in a greenhouse effect that will change the average global surface temperature. Assuming a vigorous expansion of coal use, the future amount A(t) of atmospheric carbon dioxide concentration can be approximated (in parts per million) by
where t is in years, t = 0 corresponds to 1980, and 0 ≤ t ≤ 60. Use the graph of A to estimate the year when the carbon dioxide concentration will be 450.
