Answer:

Decreased Temperatures

Step-by-step explanation:

Because carbon dioxide traps heat in the atmosphere, a lessening of atmospheric carbon dioxide concentrations would mean that more heat could escape into space. This would result in a net decrease in the Earth's average temperature, assuming other factors remain the same.
