Read the following scenario and answer the question below.
Many geologists have proposed naming the current time period of Earth's history the Anthropocene epoch. The rationale for doing so includes the fact that erosion rates and greenhouse gas levels in the atmosphere have increased rapidly over the past 300 years. Almost all environmental scientists agree that increases in greenhouse gases contribute to global climate change. Carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide, ozone, hydrochlorofluorocarbons, and water vapor are the main culprits. Human activities, chief among them the tapping and burning of fossil fuels for energy, have significantly increased these "greenhouse gases" in our atmosphere in the last 300 years. With rising standards of living in developing countries, emissions of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases are expected to continue to rise. If unchecked, carbon dioxide levels will reach twice preindustrial levels by midcentury and double again by the end of the century. Computer models have shown that this rise alone could raise Earth's temperatures by 3 to 10 degrees Fahrenheit by 2100.
-The primary source of increased levels of greenhouse gases on Earth is __________.
Subclavian Vein
A large vein located under the collarbone that helps return blood from the arm to the heart.
Intravenous Catheter
A thin tube inserted into a vein, primarily for the administration of medications, fluids, or to obtain blood samples.
Central Venous System
The part of the circulatory system comprising the heart and the major veins that return blood to the heart, often referenced in the context of central venous catheter placement.
Large Arm Vein
A major vein in the arm, typically used for medical procedures such as the insertion of intravenous lines for medication delivery or blood withdrawal.
