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.

1. Bayesian regression model with carbon dioxide emissions as the dependent variable and year as the independent variable
2. 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).
