Question

which of the following predictions about global climate change is directly related to an increase in the burning of fossil fuels

Answer 1

Answer:

The answer should be C, global warming.

Burning of fossil fuels releases gases like carbon dioxide or nitrous oxides, which are greenhouse gases. Greenhouse gases absorbs heat from the atmosphere in order to keep the Earth warm. However, due to the increased urban activity in recent years, more and more greenhouse gases are produced and released to the atmosphere and greenhouse effect is intensified. The earth is getting hotter and hotter. This effect is called global warming.

On the other hand, increased extreme weather and decreased in food supply are also some consequences of global warming, but they're not direct effects of burning of fossil fuels. In addition, the sea level right now is rising instead of falling, also due to global warming.

Therefore, your answer should be C, global warming.

Answer 2

Which of the following predictions about global climate change is directly related to an increase in the burning of fossil fuels

a. Increased extreme weather

b. decreased food supply

c. global warming

d. falling sea levels

ANSWER: c. global warming

Explanation:

• Fossil fuels are rock, gas or liquid resources burned to generate electricity. These comprise natural gas, coal, and petroleum and are used as a source of energy in power and transport. They are also a leading global warming emissions source in the world.
• Carbon transforms to carbon dioxide when burning some carbon- coal. This carbon dioxide is normally released into the atmosphere unless it is collected and processed. When fossil fuels are burned, carbon and other greenhouse gases are released, trapping heat in our atmosphere and making it the primary contributing factors for climate change and global warming.
• If till the last fossil fuel on the planet —all 5.5 trillion tons of Earth's coal, natural gas, and oil now subterranean — was burned, the world could heat up to 18 degrees over the next three hundreds of years, in which the majority of the planet would be unable to be lived by human beings, as would all the world's largest coastal cities and all of the world's low-lying regions will disappear into  the ocean
