Climate Change and Global Warming Quiz

What is the significance of limiting global warming to two degrees Celsius?

• It is a magic number that guarantees safety.

• It is the average temperature increase since the industrial era.

• It is the threshold beyond which impacts become widespread and dangerous.

• It is the maximum temperature the Earth can handle.

Which region is already experiencing dangerous levels of warming?

• The Arctic

• The Himalayas

• The Sahara Desert

• The Amazon Rainforest

Why is it difficult to determine a 'safe' level of global warming?

• Because there is no magic number for safety.

• Because the impacts of warming are unpredictable.

• Because scientists disagree on the data.

• Because climate models are inaccurate.
