Some nations have begun to use carbon sinks to meet their targets for emission reduction. What are carbon sinks?
0%
Underground locations where trapped carbon is stored
0%
Natural fissures or holes that allow carbon to escape, thereby reducing the country's ownership of the issues created
0%
Special charged plates installed in chimneys to remove particulates from the air as they pass over them
0%
Forests, oceans, or other natural environments viewed in terms of their ability to absorb carbon dioxide from the atmosphere
Q.2.
Why is developing new types of crops and food technologies key to adapting to climate change?
0%
Rapid increase in human populations as the climate warms will lead to food shortages
0%
Changing diets means that people want to eat more. With added environmental pressures, crop yields will need to be increased
0%
Changing conditions, flooding, and desertification may lead to reduced capability for crops to grow
0%
Increased temperature means only genetically modified crops will grow
Q.3.

0%
30-40 years
0%
300-400 years
0%
3,000-4,000 years
0%
It would stop immediately
Q.4.
If CO levels remain below 550ppm climate change may be small enough to allow both human populations and plant and animal species to adapt and adjust - rather than facing extinction. Which is not a way countries are reducing the rise in CO levels?
0%

Deforestation
0%
Developing new carbon-neutral technologies
0%
Working on carbon capture technologies
