Effects of Climate Change

Why do we want to find ways to capture carbon dioxide in our atmosphere?

• it would increase global warming

• it would increase other gases in our atmosphere

• it would decrease global warming

What is the impact of melting polar ice caps on global sea levels?

• Sea levels decrease due to the cold water

• Sea levels remain unchanged

• Sea levels increase, leading to coastal flooding

• The change in sea levels is unpredictable

What role do oceans play in climate change?

• Oceans store and distribute solar energy, affecting global climate patterns.

• Oceans produce greenhouse gases that contribute to climate change.

• Oceans reflect sunlight, significantly cooling the Earth.

• Oceans absorb all excess CO2, preventing climate change.

How does deforestation contribute to climate change?

• Trees release oxygen, which is a greenhouse gas.

• It increases the amount of sunlight reflected back into space.

• Trees absorb carbon dioxide, a greenhouse gas, and cutting them down reduces this absorption.

• Deforestation cools the Earth's surface, disrupting weather patterns.
