Take Action for Climate

What is a renewable energy source?

• Energy that cannot be replenished

• A renewable energy source is energy that is generated from natural processes that are continuously replenished.

• Energy generated from nuclear reactions

• Energy derived from fossil fuels

Name one effect of climate change on weather patterns.

• Lower global temperatures overall.

• Consistent weather patterns year-round.

• Increased frequency of extreme weather events.

• Decreased rainfall in all regions.

How can solar panels help reduce carbon emissions?

• Solar panels help reduce carbon emissions by providing a clean, renewable source of energy that replaces fossil fuels.

• Solar panels are primarily used for heating water.

• Solar panels increase reliance on fossil fuels.

• Solar panels emit more carbon than they save.

What is one way climate change affects sea levels?

• Increased rainfall leads to lower sea levels.

• Melting ice caps and glaciers increase sea levels.

• Rising temperatures cause ocean currents to slow down.

• More vegetation on land absorbs excess water.

List a technique for conserving water at home.

• Take longer showers to relax

• Install low-flow showerheads

• Use a garden hose for watering plants

• Leave the tap running while brushing teeth

Why is it important to use renewable energy?

• It is important to use renewable energy to reduce environmental impact and ensure sustainable energy for the future.

• Renewable energy sources are not reliable for electricity generation.

• Using renewable energy increases carbon emissions.

• Renewable energy is more expensive than fossil fuels.

What impact does deforestation have on climate change?

• Deforestation improves local climates and weather patterns.

• Deforestation has no effect on climate change.

• Deforestation contributes to climate change by increasing greenhouse gas emissions and disrupting local climates.

• Deforestation helps to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

How can planting trees help combat climate change?

• Planting trees increases soil erosion and depletes nutrients.

• Planting trees absorbs carbon dioxide, improves air quality, and supports biodiversity, helping to combat climate change.

• Planting trees has no impact on local wildlife.

• Trees release more carbon dioxide than they absorb.

What is one benefit of using wind energy?

• Wind energy has no impact on local wildlife.

• Wind energy is more expensive than coal.

• Wind energy can reduce reliance on fossil fuels and lower greenhouse gas emissions.

• Wind energy is a finite resource.

How does climate change affect biodiversity?

• Climate change only affects plant species.

• Climate change improves biodiversity by creating new habitats.

• Climate change can lead to habitat loss and increased extinction rates for many species.

• Climate change has no effect on biodiversity.
