Could Climate Change Your Life?

The video discusses the growing concerns over global climate change and its potential impacts. While Northern Europe might experience some benefits like milder winters and longer growing seasons, these are outweighed by negative effects such as increased temperatures leading to droughts, disease spread, and rising sea levels. Low-lying countries face significant risks from flooding and storms. Authorities are implementing safety measures like coastal defenses and emergency procedures to mitigate these hazards.

What is one potential benefit of milder winters in Northern Europe due to climate change?

• Increased frequency of storms

• Higher sea levels

• Spread of tropical diseases

• Fewer cold-related deaths

How could a temperature rise above 3°C negatively affect agriculture?

• More cold-related deaths

• Droughts and lower crop yields

• Longer growing seasons

• Increase in crop yields

Which disease is mentioned as potentially spreading beyond tropical areas due to climate change?

• Diabetes

• Malaria

• Heart disease

• Asthma

What is a major risk for low-lying countries as a result of rising sea levels?

• More cold-related deaths

• Severe flooding

• Increased agricultural output

• Decreased frequency of storms

Which of the following is a mitigation measure being developed to combat climate change impacts?

• Increasing global temperatures

• Spreading tropical diseases

• Building coastal defenses

• Reducing crop yields
