According to many scientists, what effect does pollution have on global temperatures? a. pollution causes acid rain, which leads to rising sea levels. b. chemicals in pollution end up in the oceans, causing water temperatures to rise. c. pollution decreases ozone, which prevents the earth from absorbing heat from the sun. d. many chemicals in pollution act like greenhouse gases, which trap heat in the atmosphere.

D. Many chemicals in pollution act like greenhouse gases, which trap heat in the atmosphere.

Explanation:

    The main causes of global warming are related, for most scientists, to human practices carried out in a non-sustainable manner, ie without ensuring the existence of resources and the environment for future generations. Thus, forms of degradation to the natural environment, such as pollution, burning and deforestation, would be on the list of the main causes of this climate problem.

    In addition, water pollution is also a factor related to global warming. In the case of the oceans, there are living beings responsible for carbon dioxide absorption and oxygen emission: phytoplankton and seaweed. Therefore, habitat destruction can also directly interfere with global atmospheric dynamics.
