If you got this right, congrats! Everyone gets 200+ points!
How do trees keep us alive?
They provide oxygen and take in all the extra carbon dioxide.
What is climate change, and how is it different from daily weather?
Climate change means long-term changes in temperature and weather. Weather can change in one day, but climate changes over many years.
Why do cars and factories increase climate change?
They burn fuel and release greenhouse gases into the air.
Climate change makes the Earth get ___ over time.
Warmer.

True or false:
Eating more meat than vegetables is a solution to climate change.
False
What is most paper made of?
Trees
Why is Earth getting warmer?
Earth is getting warmer because gases in the air trap heat from the Sun.
BONUS DOUBLE: How can eating meat effect climate change negatively?
Eating a lot of meat contributes to greenhouse gas emissions, mainly methane, and requires land and energy, which worsens climate change.
BONUS DOUBLE: The ice that is melting fastest in the world is found in these two places: ___ and ___.
Arctic and Antarctica.
What is one thing you can do with your clothes instead of throw away?
Recycle them.
How do plants help the Earth stay cool?
Plants take in carbon dioxide and give out oxygen, which reduces greenhouse gases and helps keep the Earth cooler.
What is the greenhouse effect?
The greenhouse effect happens when gases trap heat around Earth, making it warmer.
How do animals like cows affect climate change?
They produce methane gas, which traps heat.
Burning coal, oil, and gas for energy releases this gas that warms the Earth.
Carbon Dioxide.
using the sun to create electricity instead of burning coal is called ___.
Solar energy
How do forests affect rainfall?
Forests release water vapor into the air, which can help form clouds and rain.
Why does burning fossil fuels affect the climate more than natural causes today?
Because humans burn fossil fuels every day in large amounts, releasing more gases than nature does.
This gas is produced by cows, sheep, and landfills and is stronger than CO₂ at trapping heat.
Methane.
How bad is Philippines' climate change?
It has gotten so bad and there are many floods and typhoons.
BONUS DOUBLE: Countries can work together in international agreements to set ___.
Emission reduction targets
BONUS TRIPLE: When was the climate change humans caused first begin?
1750.
