Climate Change Policies

What are some examples of renewable energy sources?

• Solar energy, wind energy, hydroelectric power, geothermal energy, biomass

• Natural gas, nuclear power, coal power

• Wave energy, tidal energy, fossil fuels

• Coal energy, nuclear energy, oil energy

Name one international agreement aimed at reducing emissions.

• Geneva Protocol

• Kyoto Protocol

• Vienna Convention

• Paris Agreement

How does deforestation contribute to climate change?

• Deforestation increases the number of trees that absorb carbon dioxide, reducing carbon emissions.

• Deforestation reduces the number of trees that can absorb carbon dioxide, releasing stored carbon back into the atmosphere.

• Deforestation has no impact on climate change.

• Deforestation leads to the growth of new forests that offset carbon emissions.

Discuss one government policy implemented to reduce greenhouse gases.

• Solar panel ban

• Coal production increase

• Carbon tax

• Methane subsidy

What are some technological innovations used for climate change mitigation?

• Renewable energy sources, energy-efficient buildings, electric vehicles, carbon capture and storage technologies, smart grids

• Single-use plastics

• Coal-powered plants

• Deforestation

Why is solar energy considered a sustainable energy source?

• Solar energy is sustainable because it is derived from the sun, which is a renewable source.

• Solar energy is not renewable

• Solar energy comes from fossil fuels

• Solar panels are harmful to the environment

Explain the concept of carbon pricing and its role in reducing emissions.

• Carbon pricing involves planting more trees

• Carbon pricing is a tax on oxygen levels

• Carbon pricing is a reward system for high emissions

• Carbon pricing is a policy tool that puts a monetary value on carbon emissions to incentivize polluters to reduce their emissions.

How can reforestation projects help combat climate change?

• Reforestation projects absorb carbon dioxide through photosynthesis, reducing the greenhouse effect and mitigating global warming.

• Reforestation projects accelerate global warming

• Reforestation projects have no impact on climate change

• Reforestation projects release more carbon dioxide into the atmosphere

Describe the impact of methane emissions on global warming.

• Methane emissions have no impact on global warming

• Methane emissions contribute to global warming by trapping heat in the atmosphere.

• Methane emissions lead to cooling of the atmosphere

• Methane emissions reduce global warming

What role do electric vehicles play in reducing carbon emissions?

• Electric vehicles play a significant role in reducing carbon emissions by eliminating tailpipe emissions.

• Electric vehicles have no impact on reducing carbon emissions

• Electric vehicles increase carbon emissions

• Electric vehicles contribute to deforestation
