Carbon Dioxide and Temperature Over Time
Summary
Carbon dioxide is increasing the global temperature. The data I used were pulled from various different data sets, including carbon dioxide emissions, temperature change, land temperature, and population on kaggle. I grouped them together by country and year. I also shortened them to only the years 1990 to 2018.
Model Summaries
I made 2 Bayesian regression models.
- Bayesian regression model with carbon dioxide emissions as the dependent variable and year as the independent variable
- Bayesian regression model with average land temperature as the dependent variable and year as the independent variable
Takeaway
Around 53,000 (+/- 2000) metric tons of carbon dioxide is going to be in the year 2050 and the average land temperature is going to be 20.6 C (+/- 0.6).
