32 mm

Answer

32 cm

Answer

3.2 mm

Question 14

14. Based on the article, which of the following is a likely consequence of a 1.7°C global temperature rise?

Decreased frequency of extreme weather events.

Answer

Reduced sea-level rise.

Answer

Stabilization of coastal ecosystems.

Question 15

15. The article emphasizes the importance of using data from sources like Reuters and The Guardian, in addition to IPCC reports. Why are news sources like Reuters and The Guardian valuable in this context?

Accepted Answer

They offer up-to-date reports on extreme weather events and climate trends, providing regional context and recent data.

Answer

They provide more scientifically rigorous data than IPCC reports.
