Natural Resources and Climate Change

What are the main causes of climate change?

• Solar activity and natural climate cycles

• Human activities such as burning fossil fuels and deforestation

• Volcanic eruptions and earthquakes

• Alien interference and supernatural forces

How does global warming impact the environment?

• Global warming has no impact on the environment.

• Global warming leads to cooler temperatures and increased ice caps and glaciers.

• Global warming causes a decrease in sea levels and stable weather patterns.

• Global warming causes extreme weather and changes in ecosystems and biodiversity.

What are the consequences of global warming on ecosystems?

• Loss of biodiversity, disruption of ecosystems, shifts in species distribution, and rising sea levels.

• No impact on ecosystems, stable biodiversity, and unchanged species distribution.

• Decreased rainfall, increased temperature, and increased carbon dioxide levels.

• Increased rainfall, decreased temperature, and reduced carbon dioxide levels.
