Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
D Correct answer
Explanation

The effects of global warming or climate damage include far-reaching and long-lasting changes to the natural environment, to ecosystems and human societies caused directly or indirectly by human emissions of greenhouse gases. It also includes the economic and social changes which stem from living in a warmer world. Global warming stresses ecosystems through water shortages in already water-scare areas. increased deaths from heat waves, extension of additional species of animals and plants etc.

Multiple choice business organisation and correspondence environmental pollution and industries air pollution and its effects the environment and us environment and conservation

Which of the following is not a pollutant?

  1. $SO _2$
  2. $CO _2$

  3. CO
  4. $NO _2$
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation

Carbon dioxide is described as pollutant or not a pollutant depending on the source of emission. The carbon dioxide which is released from the plants and animals as the end product of the respiration is not considered as a pollutant. The carbon dioxide gas which is released as the exhausts and emissions from the industries causes pollution and are referred as a pollutant. The main role of the gas is in increasing the temperature of Earth and so these are not pollutants. 

Thus, the correct answer is option B.

Multiple choice

What are some of the ways that food innovation can be used to address the problem of climate change?

  1. By developing new crops that are more resistant to drought and pests

  2. By creating new technologies that make it easier to store and transport food

  3. By developing new ways to process food that reduce greenhouse gas emissions

  4. All of the above
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
D Correct answer
Explanation

All of the above strategies can be used to address the problem of climate change through food innovation. Developing new crops that are more resistant to drought and pests can help to reduce the need for irrigation and pesticides, which can both contribute to greenhouse gas emissions. Creating new technologies that make it easier to store and transport food can help to reduce the amount of food that spoils, which also reduces greenhouse gas emissions. And developing new ways to process food that reduce greenhouse gas emissions can help to mitigate the impact of climate change.
