How Can We Help Our Planet

What is climate change?

• Climate change is long-term changes in temperature, precipitation, and atmospheric conditions primarily caused by human activities.

• Climate change is a result of natural cycles only

• Climate change is caused by aliens

• Climate change is a myth created by scientists

What are the effects of climate change on the planet?

• Increase in renewable energy sources

• The effects of climate change on the planet include rising temperatures, melting ice caps, sea level rise, extreme weather events, loss of biodiversity, and disruptions to ecosystems.

• Decrease in global population

• Expansion of agricultural lands

What are some ways individuals can reduce their carbon footprint?

• Driving alone in a car

• Using public transportation, biking or walking instead of driving, reducing energy consumption, eating a plant-based diet, supporting renewable energy sources

• Consuming products with excessive packaging

• Leaving lights on when not in use

Why is it important to reduce greenhouse gas emissions?

• Reducing greenhouse gas emissions is important to mitigate global warming and climate change.

• Global warming is a natural phenomenon and does not require intervention.

• Reducing greenhouse gas emissions is too costly for businesses.

• Greenhouse gas emissions have no impact on the environment.

What role do renewable energy sources play in combating climate change?

• Renewable energy sources increase greenhouse gas emissions

• Renewable energy sources are more expensive than fossil fuels

• Renewable energy sources have no impact on climate change

• Renewable energy sources help reduce greenhouse gas emissions and decrease reliance on fossil fuels.

How does deforestation impact climate change?

• Deforestation has no impact on climate change

• Deforestation increases the number of trees that can absorb carbon dioxide, reducing greenhouse gases

• Deforestation reduces the number of trees that can absorb carbon dioxide, leading to an increase in greenhouse gases and contributing to global warming.

• Deforestation leads to more rainfall and cooler temperatures

What are some sustainable practices that can help mitigate climate change?

• Transitioning to renewable energy sources, reducing waste and promoting recycling, adopting sustainable agriculture practices, protecting forests and planting trees, and advocating for policies that limit greenhouse gas emissions.

• Increasing fossil fuel consumption

• Clearing forests for development

• Ignoring environmental regulations

How can education and awareness help in the fight against climate change?

• Education and awareness can inform individuals about climate change, promote sustainable practices, encourage policy changes, and foster a sense of responsibility towards the environment.

• Education and awareness are only for academic purposes and do not affect climate change

• Education and awareness can worsen climate change

• Education and awareness have no impact on climate change

How do greenhouse gas emissions contribute to global warming?

• Greenhouse gas emissions trap heat in the Earth's atmosphere, leading to an increase in global temperatures.

• Greenhouse gas emissions have no impact on global warming.

• Greenhouse gas emissions cool down the Earth's atmosphere.

• Greenhouse gas emissions only affect the ozone layer.

What are the benefits of transitioning to renewable energy sources?

• Transitioning to renewable energy sources increases greenhouse gas emissions.

• Transitioning to renewable energy sources has no impact on the environment.

• Transitioning to renewable energy sources reduces reliance on fossil fuels and helps combat climate change.

• Transitioning to renewable energy sources is too expensive for businesses.
