Carbon Budget Quiz

What is the definition of carbon budget?

• The maximum carbon emissions allowed for each country.

• The maximum greenhouse gases that can be emitted to keep global warming below a target level.

• The total carbon stored in the Earth's atmosphere.

• The amount of carbon dioxide released without consequences.

What are three factors affecting the carbon budget?

• deforestation, volcanic activity, solar radiation

• ocean acidification, deforestation, soil erosion

• population growth, economic activity, energy consumption

• wind energy, nuclear energy, solar energy

How does deforestation affect the carbon budget?

• It reduces the carbon budget.

• It has no impact on the carbon budget.

• It increases the carbon budget.

• It releases large amounts of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere.

What are the effects of increasing carbon budget?

• Global warming, climate change, extreme weather, rising sea levels, loss of biodiversity, and negative impacts on human health and ecosystems.

• No effects.

• Leads to cleaner air and water.

• Reduces the risk of natural disasters.

What is the main source of carbon emissions?

• Industrial waste

• Deforestation

• Solar energy

• Burning of fossil fuels

How does population growth impact carbon budget?

• Population growth increases carbon emissions.

• Population growth has no impact on carbon budget.

• Population growth decreases carbon emissions.

• Population growth reduces carbon footprint.

What happens if we exceed the carbon budget?

• It leads to reduced greenhouse gas emissions

• It results in increased greenhouse gas emissions, global warming, climate change, extreme weather events, rising sea levels, loss of biodiversity, and negative impacts on human health and ecosystems.

• There are no consequences

• It has no impact on the environment

What are the benefits of reducing carbon emissions?

• Mitigating climate change, improving air quality, promoting sustainable development.

• Increasing carbon emissions, worsening air quality, hindering sustainable development.

• No impact on climate change, worsening air quality, hindering sustainable development.

• Promoting climate change, worsening air quality, hindering sustainable development.

How can we decrease the carbon budget?

• Increasing fossil fuel use, promoting deforestation, encouraging industrial emissions, implementing unsustainable land use, relying on non-renewable energy

• Transitioning to renewable energy, improving energy efficiency, implementing carbon capture technologies, promoting sustainable transportation, adopting sustainable land use.

How is carbon budget linked to climate change?

• It sets limits on greenhouse gas emissions to prevent global warming.

• It increases the production of greenhouse gases.

• It encourages deforestation.

• It promotes the use of fossil fuels.
