Multiple Choice

Consider the following equation: $$\mathrm { GHG } = \frac { \mathrm { GHG } } { \text { Energy } } \times \frac { \text { Energy } } { \mathrm { GDP } } \times \mathrm { GDP } ,$$

Suppose GHG emissions increased by 10 percent between 2005 and 2010, a period when GDP increased by 5 percent and Energy/GDP was constant. We can conclude that GHG/Energy over the same period

• A) increased by 5 percent.
• B) was unchanged.
