Understanding Climate Change Effects

What is climate change?

• Climate change is the long-term alteration of temperature and typical weather patterns in a place.

• Climate change refers to the increase in ocean levels only.

• Climate change is a temporary change in weather conditions.

• Climate change is the result of seasonal variations in weather.

How does climate change affect sea levels?

• Climate change has no impact on sea levels.

• Climate change causes sea levels to rise due to melting ice and thermal expansion of water.

• Climate change causes sea levels to rise only in polar regions.

• Sea levels decrease due to climate change.

What are some effects of climate change on wildlife?

• Effects of climate change on wildlife include habitat loss, altered food sources, changes in migration patterns, and increased disease susceptibility.

• Increased food availability for all species

• Decreased competition among wildlife

• Stable migration patterns year-round

How does climate change impact weather patterns?

• Climate change only affects temperatures, not weather patterns.

• Climate change causes more extreme and unpredictable weather patterns.

• Climate change leads to more stable and predictable weather patterns.

• Climate change has no effect on weather patterns at all.

What role do greenhouse gases play in climate change?

• Greenhouse gases have no impact on climate change.

• Greenhouse gases are only produced by natural sources.

• Greenhouse gases contribute to climate change by trapping heat in the atmosphere, leading to global warming.

• Greenhouse gases cool the atmosphere by reflecting sunlight.

How can climate change affect human health?

• Climate change affects human health by increasing heat-related illnesses, worsening air quality, spreading infectious diseases, and causing injuries from extreme weather.

• Climate change only affects wildlife and ecosystems, not humans.

• Climate change improves air quality and reduces respiratory issues.

• Climate change has no impact on human health or well-being.

What is the significance of melting glaciers?

• Melting glaciers have no effect on wildlife.

• Melting glaciers increase the amount of ice in the ocean.

• Melting glaciers create more freshwater lakes.

• Melting glaciers contribute to rising sea levels and impact freshwater resources.

How does deforestation contribute to climate change?

• Deforestation has no impact on climate change or carbon levels.

• Deforestation contributes to climate change by increasing atmospheric CO2 levels and reducing carbon absorption.

• Deforestation helps to cool the planet by increasing tree cover.

• Deforestation decreases atmospheric CO2 levels and increases carbon absorption.

What are some ways to reduce the effects of climate change?

• Increase fossil fuel usage

• Ignore climate policies

• Promote deforestation

• Reduce emissions, use renewable energy, increase efficiency, promote sustainable practices.

Why is it important to address climate change now?

• Addressing climate change is too expensive right now.

• We should wait for technology to solve climate change issues.

• It is important to address climate change now to mitigate severe impacts and ensure a sustainable future.

• Climate change is not a concern for future generations.
