The video emphasizes the need for urgent action to reduce global warming pollution and transition to sustainable practices to prevent severe consequences for human civilization.

What is a significant factor contributing to the increased intensity of hurricanes like Michael and Harvey?

• Warmer ocean waters

• Increased wind speeds

• Colder ocean waters

• Decreased atmospheric pressure

According to the UN Scientific Panel, how much extra heat energy is trapped daily due to man-made pollution?

• Equivalent to 100,000 atomic bombs

• Equivalent to 50,000 atomic bombs

• Equivalent to 500,000 atomic bombs

What percentage of the extra heat energy trapped by global warming is absorbed by the oceans?

• 90%

• 70%

• 30%

• 50%

What is one of the new patterns observed in hurricanes like Florence and Harvey?

• They weaken before reaching the coast

• They move rapidly across land

• They remain stationary for extended periods

• They dissipate quickly

What is a crucial step mentioned to mitigate the existential threat posed by climate change?
