A greenhouse gas is a gas that...
protects us from UV rays
traps incoming heat from the sun
traps heat radiated up from the Earth's surface
has a high temperature
Energy enters the Earth's system as...
UV rays
heat from the sun
light radiation
energy molecules from the sun
Heat radiated up from the Earth's surface and then trapped or deflected by gases high in the atmosphere is called...
The Ozone Effect
Global Warming
Climate Change
The Greenhouse Effect
The Greenhouse Effect is a natural part of the Earth's energy system.
No, it's man-made
It started a few decades ago
The Greenhouse Effect has to do with UV rays and not energy.
Yes, it has always been a part of Earth's atmosphere.
The two main greenhouse gases are...
methane and oxygen
carbon dioxide and oxygen
CFC's and carbon dioxide
carbon dioxide and methane
Carbon dioxide is naturally released by...
eating meat
farting and belching cows
trees
forest fires or burning wood
Most of the carbon dioxide released by humans is from...
burning fossil fuels
cutting down trees
landfills
not recycling
Which one is NOT a greenhouse gas?
methane
oxygen
water vapor
carbon dioxide
Which one is not a greenhouse gas?
water vapor
methane
nitrous oxide
sulfur dioxide
Which of the following would make the surface temperature cooler?
increasing carbon dioxide
decreasing methane
increasing nitrous oxide
decreasing water vapor
When you increase carbon dioxide and methane then what happens to the energy in the Earth's system?
more energy enters than exits
the same energy enters as exits
less energy enters than exits
more energy exits than enters
What would happen if we had no greenhouse gases?
The world would be too cold.
There would be no climate change.
The Earth's surface temperature would stabilize.
Way more energy would enter than exit.
Which of the following things adds carbon dioxide to the atmosphere?
deforestation
burning coal
animals breathing
not recycling
What is this graph showing?
a fluctuation
a trend downward
a trend upward
a stable trend
Some consequences of climate change will be...
bigger hole in the ozone
rising sea levels
more deforestation
more intense storms
Albedo measures...
how much energy is reflected
how much light is reflected
how much light is absorbed
how much light is reflected and absorbed
The difference between climate and weather is...
weather only refers to temperature while climate can be other things like wind and precipitation.
Weather changes, but climate does not.
They are the same thing.
weather is short term atmosphere conditions while climate is weather over a long time.
The melting of the Arctic ice cap will...
cause sea levels to rise
not change sea levels much
cause massive cooling of the Earth's atmosphere
make storms more intense
Which of these is the LEAST concern with farming beef?
increase in methane
more carbon dioxide
breaking down of soil
it leads to deforestation
Why is it possible to put goats, cows and sheep on the same land?
they are natural enemies
they are awake at different times of the day
it is not possible to put them on the same land
they all eat different things
What % of people in industrialized countries are meat eaters?
Around 50%
Around three quarters
around 95%
almost 100%
Beef consumption is ....
going way up
starting to go down
about the same as it has always been
has plumeted
Plant based meats would be better than farmed beef because:
no animals will die
people will eat less harmful fats so less heart disease
less cows would mean less forests would be cut down
more farm land would be devoted to growing food for humans
An Impossible burger is worse than a natural beef burger because:
it is more expensive
it breaks down easier because of lack of scaffolds
it is saltier
it does not give you the exact same proteins and amino acids as real meat
How is a cell-based meat better than real beef?
it is faster to make
it does not release methane into the air
no forests need to be cut down
no animals need to be slaughtered
Which of these are problems with cell-based meat?
The animal is permanently injured when it gives up its cells
it is a little weird to eat meat made in a lab
animals are still slaughtered
it is really expensive
How do beef greenhouse gas emissions compare with greenhouse gas emissions from cars?
they are about the same
cars release way more greenhouse gases
beef greenhouse gas emissions are way more
they are both insignificant
