Which of the following agriculture practices could contribute the most to reducing GHG emissions. 

• Reducing access of cattle to watercourses.

• Reducing use of pesticides.

• Cultivating varieties of rice that grow under drier conditions.

• Increasing irrigation.

Which of the following statements about carbon capture and storage (CCS) techniques is true?

• CCS is proven to be a reliable option.

• CCS is a relatively cheap option.

• CCS makes a rapid difference to atmospheric carbon dioxide levels.

• CCS has potential for future use.

UN-REDD projects involves which of the following?

• Paying communities who live in the area to grow and protect trees.

• Using volunteers to grow and protect trees.

• Improving availability of tree products.

• Excluding local people from forested areas.

Which of the following is true about adaptation to climate change?

• Adaptation involves adjusting to a changing environment.

• Adaptation is not necessary if mitigation occurs.

• Adaptation conflicts with sustainable development.

• Adaptation only occurs as a response to disaster situations.

Which of the following is not an adaptation measure?

• Developing coastal defenses.

• Use of nuclear power.

• Improving water supplies.

• Improving sustainable urban drainage.

Why are carbon offset schemes often criticized?

• Because they are expensive.

• Because they do not allow individuals to invest in environmental projects.

• Because they do not encourage people to alter their polluting activities.

• Carbon offset schemes do not have any disadvantages.

• Iron

• Aluminum

• Copper

• Uranium

Carbon-capture-and-storage are:

• An ecocentric strategy of reducing carbon dioxide emissions.

• An anthropocentric strategy of reducing carbon dioxide emissions.

• A technocentric strategy of reducing carbon dioxide emissions.

• A biocentric strategy of reducing carbon dioxide emissions.

What are CCS techniques?

• Commercial-carbon-sequestration techniques.

• Continental-carbon-storage techniques.

• Carbon-catch-storehouse techniques.

• Carbon-capture-and-storage techniques.
