PART 2- Climate Change and Biodiversity

How does the melting of permafrost contribute to global warming?

• By releasing methane, a potent greenhouse gas
• By increasing water vapor in the atmosphere
• By reflecting more sunlight into space

How would increased use of biofuels compare to traditional fossil fuels in terms of climate change impact?

• Biofuels would have less impact since they are renewable and emit fewer pollutants
• Biofuels would have no effect on climate change
• Biofuels would cause more damage due to deforestation for crop cultivation
