Answer:

When the carbon dioxide concentrations rise, the air temperature will rise as well due to the greenhouse gases heating up and multiplying.

Explanation:

Carbon dioxide causes about 20 percent of Earth's greenhouse effect; water vapour accounts for about 50 percent; and clouds account for 25 percent. ... Likewise, when carbon dioxide concentrations rise, air temperatures go up, and more water vapour evaporates into the atmosphere—which then amplifies greenhouse heating.
