You Compile a Model to Test How Dissolved Carbon Dioxide

Multiple Choice

You compile a model to test how dissolved carbon dioxide levels are affecting calcium deposition in the Pacific Ocean as a result of climate change.Your model indicates that many species relying on carbonate for shell deposition will not be able to survive due to the projected future changes in dissolved carbon dioxide levels as a result of climate change.What is the likely conclusion to draw from this result?

A) All species are doomed and there is nothing that can be done
B) Your model is only a prediction and can be applied cautiously to help land managers and other researchers
C) The result should not be generalized and you should not be cautious; the models right
D) The model is a perfect description of what will happen and you should let land managers know exactly what is going to happen as a result of climate change
