  • Q1

    What is the greenhouse effect?

    Certain gases in the atmosphere trap heat and warm the Earth

    The tilt of the Earth changes the amount of solar energy the Earth receives

    Life on Earth 'exhales' gas that warms up the atmosphere

    The Sun is putting out more radiant energy over time

  • Q2

    If the greenhouse effect is natural, then why is today's climate change a bad thing?

    All of the choices  are correct

    A small increase in greenhouse gas concentration can have a large effect of increased warming.

    Once released into the atmosphere, greenhouse gases remain potent for many years, making it difficult to reverse the process.

    Abrupt changes to the climate system may have unintended outcomes that may pose challenges for societies, like more extreme weather, spread of diseases, a decline in marine life, or an alteration of ocean circulation patterns.

  • Q3

    If we stopped burning fossil fuels today, what would happen to the climate?

    Earth's average temperature would continue to rise.

    Temperatures would continue to warm, then begin to cool down in 100 years or more.

    Temperatures would stop increasing once greenhouse gas concentrations stopped increasing.

    Temperatures would fluctuate, but stay the same on average.
