CLEAN : Nuclear power crucial UN climate goal: top scientis

The video discusses the ongoing issue of climate change, emphasizing the need for clear communication to avoid being misled by leaders. It highlights the importance of imposing fees on carbon emissions to reflect their true societal costs, including health impacts and climate change consequences. The speaker stresses the urgency of reducing emissions to stabilize the climate and prevent catastrophic sea level rise. The role of nuclear power in achieving carbon-free electricity, especially in rapidly developing countries like China and India, is also discussed.

What is the main reason the speaker believes a carbon fee is necessary?

• To increase government revenue

• To make fossil fuels appear cheaper

• To reflect the true societal costs of fossil fuels

• To encourage more fossil fuel usage

According to the speaker, what is a significant consequence of not reducing emissions?

• Stabilized sea levels

• Astronomical costs due to climate change

• Increased agricultural productivity

• Decreased global temperatures

What temperature increase does the speaker consider very dangerous?

• 2 degrees Celsius

• 3 degrees Celsius

• 1.5 degrees Celsius

• 1 degree Celsius

What is the primary energy source in rapidly developing countries like China and India?

• Hydroelectric power

• Coal

• Wind power

• Solar power

What energy solution does the speaker suggest is necessary for China and India to reduce emissions?

• Complete transition to wind energy

• Exclusive reliance on solar energy

• Carbon-free electricity with nuclear power
