Make a multiple choice quiz for my year 8 science students based on the science in this transcript from a video: 3°C 0:04 It can be the difference between snow and sleet 0:08 Wearing a jacket or not 0:11 In your day-to-day life, it may not seem significant 0:15 But 3°C of global warming would be catastrophic 0:20 Heatwaves, droughts, extreme precipitation, even fire 0:25 3°C of warming is really disastrous 0:28 The scary thing is, the world is well on its way there 0:32 Since the industrial revolution, the Earth has warmed between 1.1°C and 1.3°C 0:40 This is a problem that babies you pass in the street will have to live with 0:46 Children born today... 0:47 ...are up to seven times more likely to face extreme weather than their grandparents 0:52 If global temperatures do rise by 3°C... 0:55 ...what would their world look like? Climate change is already having devastating effects 1:03 Rising sea levels 1:05 Desertification 1:07 Hollywood has always enjoyed imagining the end of the world 1:11 While blockbusters like this are clearly fiction... 1:14 ...this film will show the scenario we all face... 1:17 ...unless more drastic measures are taken to stop burning fossil fuels 1:30 In some parts of the world the effects of inaction are already clear 1:35 The slums of Bangladesh’s capital are filling up with climate migrants 1:41 Minara comes from Bhola District, an area in southern Bangladesh 1:46 There, like many other parts of the country... 1:49 ...rivers swollen by heavier rain and melting Himalayan glaciers... 1:53 ...are washing away people’s homes 1:56 Many, like her, have lost everything 2:00 Our home in Bhola had endless amounts of land 2:03 There was lots of space for farming, we had a spacious house 2:08 There were different types of fruits, vegetation and trees growing at home 2:12 We used to eat the fruit from our own trees 2:18 I can’t eat them now because they don't exist anymore 2:21 Since the river flooded for the third time, I had to flee to Dhaka 2:26 Life was much better back home 2:29 It was unbearable to live through, truly intolerable 2:33 We didn’t have the time to save anything at all 2:38 1.1°C to 1.3°C of global warming has already transformed Minara’s life 2:45 It’s one of the reasons why so many migrants like her... 2:47 ...are moving to the city each year... 2:50 ...nearly 400,000 according to the last estimate 2:53 And climate models show there could be much worse to come How climate modelling works 3:02 Climate scientist Joeri Rogelj... 3:04 ...has spent the last ten years modelling future climate scenarios... 3:08 ...for the United Nations 3:10 The models we use to carry out this exercise... 3:13 ...really represent the state of the art... 3:15 ...of our current knowledge of climate change and where we are heading 3:19 Joeri’s projections use data collected by hundreds of scientists around the world 3:26 Here this is the 3°C level... 3:28 ...and so there is at least a one-in-four chance that under current policies... 3:32 ...we would hit 3°C by the end of the century 3:36 This is just one of the scenarios Joeri looks at 3:40 Another one imagines that all policy promises are kept 3:44 The most optimistic assumes that all promises have been kept... 3:47 ...and net-zero targets are met 3:50 Where our best estimate ends up around 2°C at the end of the century... 3:54 ...there is still a one-in-20 chance that we end up with 3°C instead 3:59 One would not be entering a plane if there is a one-in-20 chance... 4:03 ...that the plane will crash Nowhere is safe from global warming 4:07 A rise of 3°C would affect everyone 4:10 Even wealthy cities in rich countries wouldn’t be immune to the consequences 4:15 European capitals like Paris and Berlin... 4:18 ...would bake under more extreme heatwaves 4:22 Frequent storm-surges in New York could turn parts of the city desolate 4:27 In many ways, cities magnify, intensify climate events 4:33 Cities are hotter than the places around them... 4:36 ...they tend to be more vulnerable to flooding 4:39 And you can get a really bad event in a city in a way that you can’t in the countryside 4:46 And because of their denser populations... 4:49 ...disasters in a city affect far more people 4:52 Some cities might be badly prepared for the changes coming 4:56 But they have the means to adapt 4:59 Cities tend to be wealthier than surrounding places 5:03 They have a lot of amenities 5:05 A city that has taken seriously the risks of a 3°C world... 5:08 …wouldn’t necessarily be a worse place to be in a 3°C world 5:12 But a city that hasn’t prepared for these sort of eventualities... 5:16 ...that might be a really nasty place The impact of prolonged droughts 5:20 So far, many developed cities have got off lightly... 5:24 ...but some rural parts of the world are suffering disproportionately 5:29 Smallholders—small-scale farmers—are particularly vulnerable to climate change 5:35 And there are over 600 million around the world 5:38 Smallholders with farms under two hectares... 5:40 ...produce around a third of the global food supply 5:46 Central America’s “Dry Corridor”... 5:48 ...supports a mix of smallholdings and medium-sized farms 5:53 Sandwiched between the Pacific Ocean and the Caribbean Sea... 5:56 ...the area is prone to droughts 6:08 Israel Ramírez Rivera is a smallholder in Guatemala 6:12 Here, climate change is making the dry seasons longer, and more severe 6:18 This is the biggest ear of maize that this plot could deliver 6:23 He depends on his crops of corn and beans 6:26 But they’re getting harder to grow 6:30 The surrounding mountains... 6:32 ...used to provide us with native food... 6:38 ...and now that isn’t an option anymore... 6:41 ...due to climate change and its effects 6:46 Nearly two-thirds of the smallholders in the Dry Corridor now live in poverty 6:52 The impact of all of this for us... 6:59 ...malnutrition among children 7:03 We’ve lost a few 7:07 For my crops especially, the midsummer heat is harder than before 7:16 The plant dries up and can’t provide us... 7:19 ...with the necessary food provision 7:24 Severe droughts in Central America... 7:26 ...are now four times more likely than they were last century 7:30 Many families from here have gone to the States 7:37 The economic despair and debts... 7:44 ...have pushed many people from this community to do this journey 7:53 Migration from Guatemala to the United States has quadrupled since 1990 7:59 Not all of this has been due to climate change 8:02 But longer droughts would force even more to move 8:05 In a 3°C world, annual rainfall in this region... 8:09 ...could drop by up to 14% 8:12 At 3°C, over a quarter of the world’s population... 8:16 ...could endure extreme droughts for at least a month of the year 8:19 Northern Africa could see droughts that last for years at a time Rising sea levels, storm surges and flooding 8:24 But for some, too much water will be the problem 8:29 10% of the world’s population lives on a coastline... 8:32 ...that’s less than 10 metres above sea level 8:35 For these coastal inhabitants, a 3°C world would spell disaster 8:40 By 2100, global sea levels could have climbed by half a metre from 2005 levels 8:46 Low-lying cities like Lagos would be especially vulnerable... 8:49 ...with up to up to a third of the population displaced 8:54 And in Fiji, rising waters are already upending lives 9:04 You can see the graveyard there, it’s all under water now... 9:08 ...due to this rising sea level and climate change 9:15 The village of Togoru in Fiji is being swallowed by the sea 9:19 Barney Dunn, the village headman, has seen over half the village disappear 9:24 Relatives’ houses have been abandoned, and family graves are now under water 9:29 We have been asked by the government to relocate... 9:32 ...but no one wants to relocate... 9:34 ...because we have our great-great-grandparents down there in the sea 9:39 This is the place we’ve been brought up in 9:41 ...it’s not easy to leave 9:44 Past attempts to build a seawall haven’t worked 9:48 But Barney sees building a new one as the village’s only hope 9:52 If they do that, maybe we can save whatever is left 9:56 But if we don’t have the seawall, then it will be keep eroding and time will come... 10:01 ...maybe in ten,15 years, Togoru will be all eroded 10:05 Rising seas also mean storms cause more floods 10:11 And many more countries could suffer 10:14 The Philippines and Myanmar are just two countries... 10:17 ...that will also see an increase in storm surges in a 3°C world 10:21 To escape, many will move… 10:24 …often, to urban areas Extreme heat and wet-bulb temperatures 10:27 Half the world’s population already lives in cities... 10:31 ...almost a third in slums 10:36 For them, a 3°C world could be deadly 10:40 Minara has moved to Dhaka to escape the impact of climate change 10:44 But life could get even worse for her 10:47 I’m struggling a lot nowadays 10:49 The heat during the day is unbearable 10:52 Even late at night it doesn’t cool down 10:57 The heat is getting more intense every day 10:59 I mean, it’s going to get much worse 11:03 I can barely survive it now, how will I live through it in the future? 11:08 Dhaka is getting hotter 11:11 In the last 20 years the average daytime temperature... 11:13 ...has crept up by nearly half a degree 11:17 Days that approach 40°C are now being reported 11:20 And high so-called wet-bulb temperatures are on the rise 11:26 A wet-bulb temperature is a measure of heat and humidity 11:30 Humans cool themselves by sweating… 11:32 But in these conditions, when relative humidity is near 100%... 11:36 ...sweat doesn’t evaporate well 11:38 So people can’t cool down… 11:41 ...even if given unlimited shade and water 11:45 At a high wet-bulb temperature, the body can’t lose heat... 11:49 ...and so it gets hotter and hotter... 11:51 ...and the body is designed to work at a given temperature 11:53 And if it gets too hot inside, you will die 11:58 The human limit for wet-bulb temperatures is 35°C... 12:02 ...around skin temperature 12:04 Dhaka will have a much higher chance... 12:05 ...of reaching dangerous wet-bulb temperatures... 12:07 ...if global warming reaches 3°C 12:12 You can’t really adapt to that 12:14 You have to get out. If the temperature is so high that you can’t work... 12:20 ...can’t do hard manual labour outside for significant parts of the year... 12:25 ...then many places will become functionally no longer part of the economy 12:33 Jacobabad in Pakistan, and Ras al Khaimah, in the United Arab Emirates... 12:37 ...have already recorded deadly wet-bulb temperatures 12:40 More of the tropics and the Persian Gulf... 12:43 ...as well as parts of Mexico and the south-eastern United States... 12:47 ...could all get to this threshold by the end of the century 12:50 Climate modelling might show us the weather Increased migration and conflict 12:52 But it doesn’t show us its other effects on society 12:56 Established migration patterns could change 12:59 Climate disasters may exacerbate reasons people cross borders 13:03 Within countries, more people will move to cities 13:07 In a 3°C world, tens of millions of people a year... 13:10 ...could be displaced by disasters made worse by climate change 13:15 When people are displaced by climate... 13:18 …they may well go to cities... 13:19 ...because cities are the places that attract people from the countryside already 13:25 A lot of people who can get to the developed world... 13:28 ...not least because the developed world tends to be less hot, will give that a go 13:35 As migration around the world increases... 13:38 ...there could be more competition for fewer resources 13:42 Water—already a highly contested resource—will be a focal point 13:47 Turkey’s new Ilisu dam has reduced the flow of water into Iraq 13:53 China lays claim to rivers vital to India and Pakistan 13:57 The prospect of a water-conflict makes people very uneasy 14:03 How national tensions would exacerbate those sorts of reactions... 14:08 ...in a 3°C world... 14:09 ...is the sort of thing that no one should really want to find out 14:14 I think you’d have to be incredibly sanguine... 14:16 ...not to think that the sort of climate extremes that we talk about... 14:19 ...in a 3°C world wouldn’t lead some places... 14:22 ...to the brink of societal collapse 14:25 Those lucky enough to escape unrest... Adaptation and mitigation are crucial 14:28 ...would still have to adapt to a radically different world 14:32 People can adapt to climate change in all sorts of ways, one of the most obvious ones... 14:37 ...is air conditioning 14:39 But other ways to adapt at a local or regional level... 14:42 ...I mean, one of the most obvious is diversifying agriculture 14:47 There are physical things you can do, like seawalls 14:52 The fact that people can adapt and that adaptation will reduce suffering... 14:57 ...doesn’t mean that it will eliminate suffering 15:00 Suffering is built into this whole process of heating up the planet 15:06 Adaptation will only get the world so far 15:09 The best way to deal with a 3°C world... 15:12 ...is not to go to a 3°C world 15:14 And that’s why increasing efforts on mitigation are important 15:17 It’s why working towards negative emissions... 15:20 ...that could bring down the temperature after it peaks are important 15:25 Once you get to a 3°C world, you are in real bad global trouble 15:33 The scale of change needed... 15:35 ...and the slow progress of governments so far... 15:38 ...means 3°C of warming is uncomfortably likely unless more is done 15:44 Despite existing pledges, greenhouse-gas emissions... 15:48 ...are still set to rise by 16% from 2010 levels by 2030 15:54 The need to act has never been clearer 15:57 There’s still time to reduce emissions, so that a 3°C world remains fiction... 16:02 ...rather than becoming fact

Crea un quiz utilizzando questo testo: Affacciato sull’ultima e più decorata loggia tra i due torricini, lo studiolo è l’ambiente più intimo del Palazzo e raffigura il ritratto interiore di Federico, la sua cultura, le sue scelte intellettuali ed estetiche. Sebbene Carlo Bertelli ne postici la data, tradizionalmente lo studiolo viene riferito al 1476, anno che appare nell’iscrizione che glorifica il Duca al di sotto del sontuoso soffitto a lacunari. Quest’ultimo, opera di GIULIANO e BENEDETTO DA MAIANO, riporta emblemi e onorificenze di Federico, le stesse che ricorrono nelle sottostanti decorazioni. Nella parte più alta dello studiolo si incontrano i 28 ritratti (oggi solo 14) degli Uomini Illustri attribuiti al fiammingo Giusto di Gand e a “Pietro Spagnolo”, riconosciuto da parte della critica in Pedro Berruguete. La loro presenza ha la funzione esemplare di ispirare il padrone di casa a imitarli nelle loro virtù. Originariamente erano inseriti in una doppia tribuna di bifore e accoppiati grazie al loro ambito di ricerca o professionale in un tacito dialogo di gesti. Nella tribuna inferiore si raffigurano personalità ecclesiastiche (dove appaiono anche i poeti cristiani Dante e Petrarca), in quella superiore le personalità laiche. L’ambivalenza tra sacro e profano o cristiano e pagano ricorre in tutta la decorazione dello studiolo e riappare nei due sacelli sottostanti (il Tempietto delle Muse e la Cappellina del Perdono) e quindi in Vaticano nella Stanza della Segnatura di Raffaello. Nel 1631, con la morte di Francesco Maria II Della Rovere, ultimo Duca di Urbino, i territori del Ducato tornano alla Chiesa e il Legato Cardinale Antonio Barberini, nipote di Urbano VIII, preleva malamente i dipinti, mutilandoli in singoli ritratti e privandoli di gran parte delle iscrizioni. Le tavole passano nella collezione romana dei Barberini e rimangono insieme fino al 1812, quando 14 di esse passano alla famiglia Colonna di Sciarra che le vende al Marchese Campana. Nel 1861 vengono acquistate da Napoleone III per approdare nel 1863 al Louvre. I 14 dipinti rimasti in Italia ritornano a Urbino nel 1934. Al di sotto dei dipinti tutto è rappresentato nella perfezione illusionistica della prospettiva intarsiata dei da Maiano. Sono raffigurate le tre Virtù Teologali, negli armadi e sui sedili sono simulate le serie degli oggetti che arredano solitamente gli studioli e che qui simboleggiano le virtù cardinali, le discipline del Trivium e soprattutto del Quadrivium, in sintonia con la cultura matematico-scientifica di Federico. Vi è ritratto anche il principe con veste da casa e lancia puntata a terra. Deposta l’armatura, simbolo della sua vita attiva, il Duca può dedicarsi nello studiolo all’otium, allo studio, alla contemplazione. Grande importanza è data alla musica con la presenza degli strumenti musicali, i più rappresentati tra gli oggetti, che rimandano alla tradizione pitagorica e platonica. Nella parete nord compare in un cartiglio la citazione dal libro IX dell’Eneide, “virtutibus itur ad astra” (per le virtù si giunge al cielo), che esemplifica il programma iconografico dello studiolo quale simbolo di un processo di perfezionamento interiore, che si raggiunge con la mediazione delle virtù e l’uso dell’intelletto.

Crea un quiz basandoti sul seguente testo: La Repubblica Popolare Cinese (中華人民共和國T, 中华人民共和国S, Zhōnghuá Rénmín GònghéguóP ascolta la pronuncia in mandarino standardⓘ), detta anche solo Cina (中國T, 中国S, ZhōngguóP; lett. "Paese di mezzo"),[7] è uno Stato dell'Asia orientale. La Repubblica Popolare Cinese è stata in passato indicata come Cina popolare, al fine di distinguerla dalla Repubblica di Cina, comunemente chiamata Taiwan (o Formosa), indicata invece come Cina nazionalista. Entrambe le entità reclamano il controllo sul territorio complessivo cinese. La Repubblica Popolare Cinese con 1 miliardo e 400 milioni di abitanti nel 2023 è lo stato più popoloso del mondo insieme all'India.[4] La Cina è una repubblica popolare in cui il potere è esercitato dal Partito Comunista Cinese (中国共产党 oppure 中共). Il governo ha sede nella capitale Pechino (北京首都) ed esercita la propria sovranità su ventidue province (省), cinque regioni autonome (自治区), quattro municipalità direttamente controllate (直辖市) (Pechino 北京, Tientsin 天津, Shanghai 上海 e Chongqing 重庆) e due regioni amministrative speciali 特别行政区 (Hong Kong 香港 e Macao 澳门) parzialmente autonome. La Cina rivendica la propria sovranità anche su Taiwan, che a propria volta rivendica la propria sovranità sulla Cina continentale. L'isola è rimasta dal 1949 sotto il controllo del governo della Repubblica di Cina (中華民國 o Taiwan), che precedentemente governava anche la Cina continentale, ed è rivendicata dalla Repubblica Popolare Cinese come provincia di Taiwan. La complessa condizione politica di Taiwan è una delle conseguenze della guerra civile cinese, che ha preceduto la fondazione della Repubblica Popolare Cinese. Con la sua superficie di circa 9 572 900 km², la Cina è il quarto stato più grande del mondo per superficie. Il paesaggio della Cina è vasto e diversificato: va dalle steppe della foresta e i deserti dei Gobi e del Taklamakan nell'arido nord alle foreste subtropicali e umide del sud. L'Himalaya, il Karakorum, il Pamir e il Tian Shan sono le catene montuose che separano la Cina meridionale dall'Asia centrale. Il Fiume Azzurro (长江) e il Fiume Giallo (黄河), rispettivamente il terzo e il sesto più lunghi del mondo, scorrono dall'altopiano del Tibet verso la costa orientale, densamente popolata. La costa della Cina lungo l'oceano Pacifico è lunga circa 14 500 chilometri ed è delimitata dal mare di Bohai, dal mar Giallo, dal mar Cinese Orientale e dal mar Cinese Meridionale. L'antica civiltà cinese, una delle più antiche al mondo, si sviluppò inizialmente nelle pianure comprese tra il Fiume Giallo e il Fiume Azzurro. A partire dall'età del bronzo, verso la fine del II millennio a.C., si ha evidenza di strutture feudali, in cui i nobili si raccoglievano intorno a monarchie ereditarie. Vi sono testimonianze di una casata regnante nella prima metà del I millennio a.C., nota come dinastia Zhou (周朝), il cui declino condusse alla nascita di un discreto numero di regni indipendenti in competizione per il predominio sulla regione (periodo delle Primavere e Autunni, 春秋), con stagioni di conflitto che si fecero particolarmente accese nel periodo che va dall'VIII al III secolo a.C. Nel 221 a.C. lo Stato di Qin sconfisse e conquistò i territori di tutti gli altri Stati combattenti, dando vita al primo impero della storia cinese sotto la guida del primo imperatore cinese Qín Shǐ Huángdì della dinastia Qin (秦朝). Da quel momento il titolo di imperatore della Cina divenne il sinonimo della raggiunta supremazia. La dinastia Qin non durò a lungo, infatti i popoli precedentemente conquistati vennero poco dopo riuniti sotto l'egida della dinastia Han (汉朝, III secolo a.C. - III secolo d.C.). I quattro secoli in cui regnarono i sovrani della dinastia Han sono considerati cruciali per la definizione e l'affermazione della identità culturale cinese, tanto da divenire il termine con cui i cinesi definirono se stessi (con il termine appunto di etnia o popolo han, 汉族). Da allora, la storia cinese ha visto l'alternarsi di periodi di divisione e fasi di unificazione, con conseguenti periodi di frammentazione, contrazione o espansione territoriale, sotto l'egida di diverse dinastie, talora di etnia straniera, come avvenuto nel caso dei mongoli o dei mancesi. L'ultima dinastia fu quella dei Qing, il cui regno si concluse nel 1911 con la fondazione della Repubblica di Cina (中华民国). Dopo la sconfitta dell'Impero giapponese (大日本皇国) durante la seconda guerra mondiale, il Paese fu scosso dalla guerra civile, che vedeva contrapposte le forze nazionaliste del Kuomintang (国民党), il partito che allora deteneva il governo del paese, e le forze facenti capo al Partito Comunista Cinese. Nel 1949 la guerra si concluse con la sconfitta del Kuomintang e la conseguente fuga del governo nazionalista sull'isola di Formosa, nella cui capitale Taipei (台北) ha tuttora sede l'attuale Repubblica di Cina, altresì nota come Taiwan. In seguito alla vittoria conseguita sul continente, il 1º ottobre del 1949 a Pechino le forze comuniste guidate da Mao Zedong proclamarono ufficialmente la nascita della Repubblica Popolare Cinese. Dopo l'introduzione di riforme economiche nel 1978, l'economia cinese è diventata quella dalla crescita più rapida al mondo. A partire dal 2013, è la seconda economia più grande al mondo sia come PIL totale nominale sia per parità di potere d'acquisto; per quanto riguarda solamente il PIL nominale, invece, la Cina ha sorpassato il Giappone, sino ad allora seconda potenza mondiale dal 1987, nel 2010. Nel 2022 il prodotto interno lordo cinese è sui ventimila miliardi di dollari.[8] Essa è anche il più grande esportatore e importatore di merci al mondo. La Cina è ufficialmente uno Stato munito di armi nucleari e ha il più grande esercito permanente del mondo, con il secondo più grande bilancio della difesa. È, inoltre, membro dell'ONU dal 1971, quando ha preso il posto della Repubblica di Cina tra i seggi dei membri permanenti del Consiglio di sicurezza delle Nazioni Unite, e quindi gode del potere di veto. La Cina è anche membro di numerose organizzazioni multilaterali,[9] tra cui l'OMC, l'APEC, il BRICS, l'Organizzazione di Shanghai per la cooperazione, il BCIM[10] e il G20. La Cina, unanimemente riconosciuta come grande potenza dal consesso internazionale, è una potenziale superpotenza secondo un certo numero di accademici e analisti che si occupano di questioni militari, politiche ed economiche. Dissidenti politici e gruppi per i diritti umani hanno denunciato la dittatura del governo cinese per diffuse violazioni dei diritti umani, tra cui repressione politica, repressione delle minoranze religiose ed etniche, censura, sorveglianza di massa e la violenza utilizzata nel reprimere il dissenso, come quella esibita durante le proteste di piazza Tienanmen del 1989.
