We can solve this problem by using a simple linear equation, where the concentration of carbon dioxide(CO_2) is the dependent variable and time is the independent variable. Let's assume that the initial concentration of CO_2  is 415 ppm at time t = 0, and the rate of increase is 2 ppm per year. We can express this as:

CO_2 = 415 + 2t

where t is the time in years. To find the concentration of CO_2  after 50 years, we can substitute t = 50 into the equation and solve for CO_2

CO_2 = 415 + 2(50)

CO_2 = 415 + 100

CO_2 = 515\ ppm

Therefore, the answer is (1) 515 ppm.
