The video discusses human activities that increase greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide and methane, leading to climate change. It covers the effects of climate change, such as rising sea levels and altered animal distributions. The video also addresses the scientific consensus on climate change, the peer review process, and challenges in modeling climate change due to its complexity and media bias.

What are the main objectives of the lesson on climate change?

• To understand human activities increasing greenhouse gases

• To study the impact of climate change on marine life

• To explore the history of climate change

• To learn about renewable energy sources

Which human activity is primarily responsible for the increase in carbon dioxide levels?

• Burning fossil fuels

• Using solar panels

• Recycling waste

• Planting more trees

How does deforestation contribute to climate change?

• It increases oxygen levels

• It cools the Earth's surface

• It increases rainfall

• It reduces carbon dioxide absorption

What is one potential effect of rising global temperatures?

• Decrease in sea levels

• Increase in polar ice

• More frequent storms

• Stabilization of weather patterns

How might climate change affect the distribution of animals?

• Animals will remain in their current habitats

• Animals will migrate to cooler areas

• Animals will become extinct

• Animals will adapt to warmer temperatures

What is the purpose of the peer review process in climate science?

• To promote biased research

• To validate scientific evidence

• To increase funding for research

• To simplify scientific models

Why is climate change difficult to model accurately?

• Because it is a simple process

• Due to the lack of scientific interest

• Due to its complexity and numerous variables

• Because it is not influenced by human activities

What role does the media play in public perception of climate change?

• It only reports on positive aspects of climate change

• It ignores climate change completely

• It often simplifies or biases the information

• It provides unbiased scientific data

What is a major uncertainty in predicting climate change?

• The exact increase in atmospheric temperature

• The existence of greenhouse gases

• The role of the sun in climate change

• The impact of climate change on technology

What is a common issue with climate change stories in the media?

• They are never published

• They focus only on local impacts

• They are always accurate

• They are often based on speculation
