Section B Read this paragraph and answer the questions. Burning fossil fuels is the main producer of greenhouse gases. To reduce this complex global problem, applying a carbon tax to coal, oil, and natural gas emissions has been successful. The aim of this tax is to limit carbon emissions, and so reduce the effects of climate change. However, few governments have introduced a carbon tax so far. Without this method to cut greenhouse gases, global temperatures are expected to rise by about 4°C above pre-industrial levels by the end of this century. Global temperatures have already increased by 1°C, to an average of 12.7°C. This has had damaging effects, including melting ice sheets and extreme weather events. Fill in the gap with ONE WORD from the paragraph. 3. Taxing the primary Answer Question 3[input] of damaging emissions has been successful in weakening their harm.简答题

Suppose that we succeed in raising the CO2 concentration in the atmosphere to a level twice as high as occurred for the thousands of years after the ice age and before the industrial revolution, and then we hold the concentration constant at that new, higher level for the next thousand years. What would happen to the average temperature of the planet?
