Climate Change and Climate Action

What are greenhouse gases and how do they contribute to climate change?

• Greenhouse gases trap heat in the Earth's atmosphere, and cause climate change.

• Greenhouse gases are only caused by natural sources, not human activities.

• Greenhouse gases cool the Earth's atmosphere, leading to climate change.

• Greenhouse gases have no impact on the Earth's atmosphere.

Name three renewable energy sources commonly used to reduce carbon emissions.

• Fuel energy

• Geothermal power

• Solar power, wind power, hydropower

• Coal power

How does climate change affect wildlife and their habitats?

• Climate change has no impact on wildlife and their habitats

• Climate change only affects wildlife in urban areas

• Wildlife and habitats benefit from climate change

• Climate change affects wildlife and their habitats through habitat loss, disrupted food chains, and increased extreme weather events.

What are some ways individuals can reduce their carbon footprint in daily life?

• Eating meat at every meal

• Using public transportation, biking or walking instead of driving, reducing energy consumption, using reusable bags and containers.

• Using private jets for transportation

• Leaving lights on when not in use

Discuss one global warming solution that can help mitigate the effects of climate change.

• Planting more trees

• Transitioning to renewable energy sources

• Using aerosol sprays

• Increasing coal consumption

How can planting trees help in combating climate change?

• Planting trees increases the greenhouse effect

• Planting trees releases more carbon dioxide into the atmosphere

• Planting trees absorbs carbon dioxide and reduces the greenhouse effect.

• Planting trees depletes oxygen levels in the environment

Describe the impact of melting ice caps on global sea levels and ecosystems.

• Melting ice caps result in reduced rainfall and desertification

• Melting ice caps have no impact on sea levels or ecosystems

• Melting ice caps lead to decreased sea levels and increased biodiversity

• Melting ice caps result in rising sea levels, leading to coastal flooding, habitat loss.

How can sustainable agriculture practices contribute to climate change mitigation?

• Sustainable agriculture practices have no impact on climate change

• Sustainable agriculture practices can increase greenhouse gas emissions

• Sustainable agriculture practices can trap carbon in the ground, make less air pollution.

• Sustainable agriculture practices lead to deforestation and loss of habitat.

How can individuals advocate for stronger climate action in their communities and beyond?

• Avoid engaging with local climate groups or events

• Spread misinformation about climate change

• Take part in local climate groups, spread awareness through social media.

• Ignore climate change issues and focus on personal interests

How do deforestation and land-use change contribute to climate change?

• Deforestation and land-use change have no impact on climate change

• Deforestation and land-use change can decrease greenhouse gas emissions

• Deforestation and land-use change can increase carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere

• Deforestation and land-use change lead to increased biodiversity
