Exploring Solutions to Climate Change in Ice On Fire

What has been the primary cause of the largest science experiment in history over the last 250 years?

• Deforestation

• Industrial Revolution

• Agricultural practices

• Natural disasters

Why are CO2 samples often collected from high altitudes?

• Because it's easier to access

• To get closer to the sun

• Because the air is well-mixed

• To avoid human interference

What is the significance of the 2 degrees Celsius limit in the context of climate change?

• It marks the point of no return for biodiversity loss

• It is the safe limit for human health

• It is the threshold for substantial and irreversible impacts

• It is the average global temperature increase since 1850

What is biochar and how does it help in combating climate change?

• A type of fossil fuel that burns cleaner

• A form of charcoal that sequesters carbon in soil

• A synthetic fertilizer that reduces emissions

• A renewable energy source

How can kelp farming contribute to mitigating climate change?

• By replacing fossil fuels

• By sequestering carbon and reducing ocean acidity

• By increasing fish populations

• By providing a source of biofuel

What is the primary benefit of marine snow in combating ocean acidification?

• It helps in the formation of thicker shells for marine life.

• It increases the oxygen levels in the atmosphere.

• It increases the temperature of the ocean.

• It reduces the salinity of the ocean.

Why is it challenging to communicate climate science to the public?

• Because there is no scientific consensus on climate change.

• Because the science is too simple.

• Due to the concerted efforts by fossil fuel interests to confuse the public.

• Because the public is not interested in climate science.

What is a significant source of methane emissions identified in the Four Corners region?

• Vehicle emissions

• Emissions from drilling and coal

• Natural forest fires

• Agricultural activities

What is the purpose of direct air capture technology?

• To generate electricity from CO2

• To convert CO2 into methane

• To extract CO2 from the air and store it safely

• To increase the amount of CO2 in the atmosphere

What is one of the economic benefits of transitioning to a green economy?

• It will make fossil fuels more profitable.

• It will reduce the number of jobs available.

• It will create millions of new jobs.

• It will increase the cost of living.
