Climate Change Adaptation and Impact

The video discusses climate change, highlighting the rise in global temperatures due to increased CO2 and methane levels. It explains natural causes like orbital changes, volcanic activity, and solar output, and human impacts such as fossil fuel burning, agriculture, and deforestation. The effects include glacier melting, reduced agricultural yields, and increased flooding. Mitigation strategies like renewable energy and carbon capture, and adaptation methods such as changing agricultural practices and building floating cities, are explored.

What is the primary reason for the rise in global temperatures over the last century?

• Reduction in volcanic activity

• Decrease in solar output

• Increase in CO2 concentration

• Increase in methane levels

Which natural phenomenon is associated with the Earth's orbital changes?

• Volcanic eruptions

• Melanchovic's cycle

• Solar flares

• Greenhouse effect

How does volcanic activity affect the Earth's temperature in the short term?

• Has no effect on temperature

• Decreases temperature by creating a volcanic winter

• Increases temperature by releasing methane

• Increases temperature by releasing CO2

Which human activity is a significant source of methane emissions?

• Agriculture

• Burning fossil fuels

• Deforestation

• Industrial waste

What is one of the effects of climate change on agriculture in sub-Saharan Africa?

• Complete loss of agriculture

• No change in crop yields

• Increase in crop yields

• Reduction in crop yields by 15%

Which city is mentioned as being vulnerable to the effects of climate change due to its low-lying location?

• Miami

• Tokyo

• New York

• London

What is one of the main strategies to mitigate climate change?

• Increasing fossil fuel use

• Carbon capture and storage

• Deforestation

• Reducing renewable energy sources

How can agriculture adapt to climate change according to the video?

• By increasing water usage

• By reducing agricultural activities

• By changing crop types to suit new climates

• By growing the same crops regardless of climate

What is the purpose of international agreements like the Paris Agreement?

• To eliminate renewable energy sources

• To reduce the impact and causes of climate change

• To promote fossil fuel usage

• To increase carbon emissions

What adaptation strategy is being implemented by the Maldives to combat rising sea levels?

• Building higher skyscrapers

• Constructing a floating city

• Increasing fossil fuel consumption

• Reducing tourism
