Terms in this set (31)Why is the greenhouse effect necessary for life on Earth? It heats the Earth's surface. What will be the effect of global warming on global species diversity? Overall, biodiversity will drop. Which of the following greenhouse gases (GHGs) have decreased in the past few decades? None; all of these have increased. By burning less gasoline, a hybrid car produces less CO2, which might reduce __________. global climate change Which of the following are the main greenhouse gases contributing to global climate change? CH4 (methane), CO2 (carbon dioxide), N2O (nitrous oxide) One way to slow the rate of climate change could be through fertilizing the ocean with nutrients such as iron. This will increase the growth of algae. How would this reduce the greenhouse effect? Algae would use CO2 in photosynthesis, reducing atmospheric CO2, which would otherwise trap heat in the atmosphere. What can ice cores tell us about Earth's history? The atmospheric composition, greenhouse gases, and temperature trends from hundreds of thousands of years ago Considering the current scientific literature on global warming, which statement best summarizes the most recent findings? Worldwide, scientists agree that there is overwhelming evidence that the rise in temperature is due to increased greenhouse gas emissions that come from burning fossil fuels and deforestation. What was the main goal of the 1997 Kyoto Protocol? To reduce emissions of six greenhouse gases based on each country's history and phase of development Which of these countries do you suppose produces the most carbon dioxide per person? United States What can be said about using computer models in climate change research? Computer models can be used to forecast future climate change. Which greenhouse gas is the most significant contributor to global warming? carbon dioxide How can an El Niño/La Niña Southern Oscillation (ENSO) affect weather? All of these can occur due to ENSO. In 2007, how did the U.S. Supreme Court weigh in on the climate change issue? The Supreme Court ruled that carbon dioxide was a pollutant and that the EPA could regulate it under the Clean Air Act. What is the relationship between global warming and climate change? Global warming refers to an increase in Earth's average temperature, while climate change encompasses a wide variety of changes in Earth's climate. So far, global climate change is having its greatest effect on __________. arctic regions Which of the following is related to coral bleaching? climate change By burning less gasoline, a hybrid car produces less CO2, which might reduce __________. global climate change Which of the following has been predicted, and observed, as a consequence of global climate change? All of the answers are correct. The main cause of the increase in the amount of carbon dioxide in Earth's atmosphere over the past 150 years is __________. the clearing of large areas of forests and burning of fossil fuels Climate change, as demonstrated by observations such as the rise in average ambient temperatures and the melting of glaciers, has already had many effects on living organisms. Which of the following might best offer a solution to this problem? Limit the burning of fossil fuels and limit the loss of forested areas. The water reuse system on the campus of Georgia Southern University __________. conserves water by using treated city wastewater instead of city tap water for irrigation The bioenergy garden at Georgia Southern University is used to show plants that can be used __________. as biofuels that will not add any extra carbon dioxide into the atmosphere LEED standards in the construction of new buildings establishes criteria that __________. conserve energy and water and improve indoor air quality One common way to increase the sustainability of a food system is to buy and consume __________. foods that are grown locally What environmental problem is being addressed by the use of bio swales, large vegetated ditches or depressions, on the campus of Georgia Southern University? the pollution of streams by oily runoff water from parking lots
Your friend owns a restaurant in Brazil and wants to give the extra food away to those in need. Which of the following is true? She cannot give any of the food away. You stay at the Island Hideout in Thailand. Which of the following is least likely to be done with the food waste you produce while there? It will be taken to a landfill. Methane and carbon dioxide are both greenhouse gases. Which of the following is true? An increase in the amount of food decomposing will cause an increase in climate change. Members of the Indian government visit ITC Maurya's BioUrja plant and pass legislation requiring all food waste in India to be managed using the same technique. What would happen? Food waste would be used to generate electricity. You are the manager at Soneva Fushi. Based on the results at your resort, would you recommend a food audit to your colleagues at other locations? Yes, as the food waste your resort produces has decreased dramatically.

What is the relationship between the greenhouse effect and global warming quizlet?The Greenhouse effect is when the heat goes up into space, Greenhouse Gases, block the heat going into space, and it goes back to earth. Global Warming is when the earth being overheated by Fossil fuels and Greenhouse gases causing Greenhouse effect.
What is the relationship between the greenhouse effect and global warming and climate change Brainly?Explanation: The greenhouse effect is a natural process traps heat in the atmosphere - global warming tends to be when additional greenhouse gases are released into the atmosphere and this causes a warming event.
What is the relationship between global warming and climate change quizlet?What's the difference between global warming and climate change? Global warming is the increase of the Earth's average surface temperature due to build-up of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. Climate change is a broader term that refers to long-term changes in climate, including average temperature and precipitation.
