Climate Change Solutions: Mitigation and Adaptation

What is the primary cause of climate change according to the video?

• Natural cycles of the Earth

• Human activities

• Solar flares

• Volcanic eruptions

Which energy sources are mentioned as part of the prevention solution?

• Biomass and hydroelectric

• Coal and natural gas

• Oil and peat

• Wind, solar, and nuclear

Why is it probably too late to prevent climate change entirely?

• Lack of global interest

• Because technology isn't advanced enough

• Due to the amount of CO2 already in the atmosphere

• Because it's a natural process

What is the significance of bringing our emissions to zero, as mentioned in the video?

• It will make renewable energy obsolete

• It's the only way to stop climate change

• It would avoid many of the worst consequences of a warming world

• It will immediately cool the planet

What role does solar geoengineering play in combating climate change?

• It's focused on reducing water pollution

• It increases solar energy production

• It reduces the Earth's temperature by reflecting sunlight

• It involves planting more trees

What could be a consequence of adapting to climate change?

• Reduction in global population

• An increase in fossil fuel usage

• A shift in the world order

• A decrease in global temperatures

Why is the adaptation solution not enough to fix the problem of climate change?

• It doesn't stop the cause of climate change

• Because it's too expensive

• It's too complex to implement

• All countries are not in agreement
