Exploring Solutions to Combat Climate Change

The video discusses the problem of climate change and presents three main solutions: prevention, undoing, and adaptation. Prevention involves reducing greenhouse gas emissions through renewable energy. Undoing focuses on removing CO2 from the atmosphere using technologies and natural processes. Adaptation involves developing ways to live with a warmer planet. The video emphasizes the need for a combination of these strategies to effectively address climate change.

What is the primary cause of climate change according to the video?

• Natural cycles of the Earth

• Human activities

• Solar flares

• Volcanic eruptions

Which energy sources are mentioned as part of the prevention solution?

• Biomass and hydroelectric

• Coal and natural gas

• Oil and peat

• Wind, solar, and nuclear

Why is it probably too late to prevent climate change entirely?

• Lack of global interest

• Because technology isn't advanced enough

• Due to the amount of CO2 already in the atmosphere

• Because it's a natural process

What is the significance of bringing our emissions to zero, as mentioned in the video?

• It will make renewable energy obsolete

• It's the only way to stop climate change

• It would avoid many of the worst consequences of a warming world

• It will immediately cool the planet

What is a major challenge of the undoing solution?

• It's too simple to implement

• It's already widely adopted

• It could be more expensive than prevention

• It doesn't require any new technology

What could be a consequence of adapting to climate change?

• Reduction in global population

• An increase in fossil fuel usage

• A shift in the world order

• A decrease in global temperatures

Why is the adaptation solution not enough to fix the problem of climate change?

• It doesn't stop the cause of climate change

• Because it's too expensive

• It's too complex to implement

• All countries are not in agreement
