Climate Change Quiz: Global Temperature Rise

What is the primary cause of global temperature rise?

• Natural climate variability

• Increase in greenhouse gas emissions

• Decrease in greenhouse gas emissions

• Increase in renewable energy use

How much has the global temperature risen in the past century?

• Approximately 10 degrees Celsius

• No change in global temperature

• Approximately 1 degree Celsius

• Approximately 5 degrees Celsius

What are some of the consequences of global temperature rise?

• Melting ice caps, rising sea levels, extreme weather events, and loss of biodiversity

• Decreased frequency of natural disasters

• Increased crop yield and agricultural productivity

• Expansion of polar bear habitats

What are greenhouse gases and how do they contribute to global temperature rise?

• Greenhouse gases only trap heat in the oceans, not the atmosphere.

• Greenhouse gases have no impact on global temperature.

• Greenhouse gases trap heat in the Earth's atmosphere, contributing to global temperature rise.

• Greenhouse gases cool the Earth's atmosphere, leading to global temperature decrease.

What are some natural factors that can contribute to global temperature rise?

• Solar radiation, volcanic eruptions, changes in Earth's orbit

• Greenhouse gas emissions, urbanization, industrialization

• Ozone depletion, soil erosion, overpopulation

• Deforestation, ocean acidification, air pollution

How does deforestation contribute to global temperature rise?

• Deforestation increases the number of trees that can absorb carbon dioxide

• Deforestation reduces the number of trees that can absorb carbon dioxide, leading to an increase in greenhouse gases in the atmosphere.

• Deforestation leads to a decrease in greenhouse gases in the atmosphere

• Deforestation has no impact on global temperature

What are some ways that individuals can help mitigate global temperature rise?

• Reducing energy consumption, using renewable energy sources, supporting sustainable transportation, and advocating for policies to address climate change.

• Supporting policies that increase carbon emissions

• Ignoring the impact of deforestation

• Using more fossil fuels

What role does the burning of fossil fuels play in global temperature rise?

• It only affects local temperature, not global

• It actually helps to lower global temperature

• It has no impact on global temperature rise

• It contributes to global temperature rise by releasing greenhouse gases.

How does global temperature rise impact weather patterns?

• It has no impact on weather patterns

• It only leads to slightly warmer temperatures

• It can lead to changes in weather patterns such as increased frequency of extreme weather events, shifts in precipitation patterns, and changes in wind patterns.

• It causes a decrease in extreme weather events

What are some potential solutions to combat global temperature rise?

• Increasing carbon emissions and reliance on fossil fuels

• Implementing renewable energy sources, reducing carbon emissions, promoting sustainable practices, and investing in climate change adaptation measures.

• Investing in non-renewable energy sources

• Ignoring climate change and its impacts
