Climate Change Strategies

What is the primary goal of mitigation?

• To ignore the potential risks associated with climate change

• To prevent or reduce the impacts of climate change

• To reduce the impact of impacts of climate change

• To react to the impacts of climate change.

How does adaptation differ from mitigation?

• Adaptation aims to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, while mitigation focuses on adjusting to climate impacts.

• Adaptation focuses on adjusting to climate impacts, while mitigation aims to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

• Mitigation is about preparing for climate impacts, whereas adaptation seeks to eliminate greenhouse gases.

• Adaptation and mitigation are the same processes aimed at combating climate change.

How do solar panels contribute to climate change mitigation?

• Solar panels help mitigate climate change by reducing greenhouse gas emissions and promoting renewable energy use.

• Solar panels increase fossil fuel consumption.

• Solar panels have no impact on energy production.

• Solar panels contribute to deforestation.

What greenhouse gas is primarily targeted by Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS)?

• methane (CH4)

• nitrous oxide (N2O)

• carbon dioxide (CO2)

• water vapor (H2O)

Why is reducing reliance on fossil fuels important for climate change?

• It has no impact on air quality or health.

• It increases the use of renewable energy sources.

• It helps reduce greenhouse gas emissions that contribute to global warming.

• It promotes the use of electric vehicles exclusively.

Can you name a renewable energy source used for mitigation?

• Solar energy

• Nuclear energy

• Natural Gas

• Oil

What are the potential benefits of adaptation for communities?

• Increased vulnerability to disasters

• Reduced access to essential services

• Decreased community engagement

• The benefits of adaptation include increased resilience to climate impacts, improved resource management, economic opportunities.

How does CCS technology work?

• CCS technology captures carbon dioxide emissions and stores them underground to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

• CCS technology converts carbon dioxide into oxygen for cleaner air.

• CCS technology generates renewable energy from carbon dioxide.

• CCS technology uses carbon dioxide to enhance oil recovery processes.

What percentage of carbon emissions since 1750 have been absorbed by forests?

• 15

• 20

• 25

• 30

What impact does climate change have on economies?

• Climate change negatively impacts economies by increasing costs related to disasters, agriculture, health care, and displacement.

• Climate change has no effect on economies whatsoever.

• Climate change boosts economic growth by increasing tourism.

• Climate change only affects the environment, not the economy.
