Climate Change and Its Impacts

The video discusses climate change, its causes, and impacts, such as rising sea levels and biodiversity loss. It highlights the role of human activities, particularly CO2 emissions from fossil fuels, in global warming. The video also presents solutions like renewable energy, reducing plastic use, and recycling to mitigate climate change effects. It concludes with a call to action for viewers to contribute to environmental conservation.

What has been one of the significant effects of global warming in recent decades?

• Decrease in sea levels

• Increase in sea levels

• Stabilization of sea levels

• No change in sea levels

How is climate defined in the context of climate change?

• Short-term weather patterns

• Long-term atmospheric conditions in a specific area

• Daily temperature variations

• Seasonal changes

What are some of the common consequences of climate change mentioned in the video?

• More stable weather patterns

• Water scarcity, desertification, and rising sea levels

• Decreased frequency of natural disasters

• Increased rainfall and cooler temperatures

What is the primary role of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere?

• Blocking all solar radiation

• Reflecting solar radiation back into space

• Absorbing solar energy and maintaining Earth's temperature

• Cooling the Earth's surface

Which gas is identified as a major greenhouse gas contributing to global warming?

• Nitrogen

• Carbon Dioxide (CO2)

• Hydrogen

• Oxygen

What significant change occurred during the Industrial Revolution that impacted climate change?

• Decrease in CO2 emissions

• Increase in the use of renewable energy

• Rise in CO2 emissions due to fossil fuel use

• Reduction in industrial activities

By how much has the average global temperature increased in the last 150 years?

• Almost one degree

• Almost three degrees

• Almost two degrees

• Almost four degrees

What is one of the potential future consequences if global temperatures continue to rise?

• Disappearance of thousands of animal and plant species

• Increase in biodiversity

• Stabilization of sea levels

• Decrease in ocean temperatures

What is one of the suggested solutions to reduce CO2 emissions from transportation?

• Using more plastic products

• Increasing the use of public transport, cycling, or walking

• Driving more cars

• Building more roads

How can planting trees help mitigate climate change?

• By producing more plastic

• By reducing the need for renewable energy

• By absorbing CO2 during their lifetime

• By increasing CO2 emissions
