 Introduction

• Over the last 30 years, many types of research have been

conducted, considering air pollution global warming and CO2
emissions, providing behavioral decisions and a clear
explanation of the risk perceived

Results

• Recent greenhouse gas emission trends in the United States are

upward (11), as are global emissions trends, with increases
between 0.5 and 1% per year over the past few decades

• The Met Office has a good record of forecasting global CO2

levels and predicts that the average rise over 2019 will be 2.75
parts per million

is fundamental, and also identifying that the correlation coefficient is

the most common method used in statistical scientific research, which
represents the link between 2 variables.

• Another research titled “Searching for Correlations Between CO2

Emissions and Selected Economic Parameters”
• argued that human activities are the main cause of the increasing
level of greenhouse gases.
 Methodology
• Quantitative Research
• by using statistical methods for data analysis and mathematical
techniques, the quantitative method tends to collect information
using samples, surveys, questionnaires

• Data
• was collected from Statista which is a data platform website that
contains facts and insights from 600 countries
• Independent variable
• Global CO2 emissions
• Dependent variables
• steel production, people without health insurance, solar power
net generation, survey concerning people awareness of air
pollution, another survey concerning Self-reported level of
understanding of global warming

• However, this limitation is due to the lack of sufficient data
provided till the date.
• Spearman correlation analysis should be implemented.
• Coefficient of determination
• 14% of the data has been explained by the regression
analysis
• No accurate prediction can be assumed

• This research predicts that people are more aware of the

climate change as a result of the global warming when there is
an increasing in the amount of CO2 emissions in general
• Effects in temperature change as more felt than effects of

Results
• In this research there is a strong positive correlation between
CO2 emissions and Solar power net generation in the USA
• People, government, companies tend to move into using
renewable energy sources as a result of the increasing level
of CO2 emissions
• Solar power panels production process involves CO2
emissions which might be the reason of the positive
relationship between these variables

Results
• conducted about global warming and air pollution in the U.S
while, the research also used CO2 global emission instead of U.S
• CO2 emission that might have varied the results of the
research.
• Adding on further research can be enhance the results by
increasing the number of variables considering the most suitable
for ones for this topic
