What natural object influences Earth’s climate?
The sun
Climate change can cause stronger rain and flooding. True or false?
True
Name one way to mitigate climate change
Recycling / saving energy / using renewable energy
Farming change to deal with droughts.
Growing drought-resistant crops
Why does deforestation increase CO₂ levels in the atmosphere?
Because fewer trees absorb CO₂
What role do ocean currents play in Earth’s climate?
They move heat around the planet
How does climate change affect water?
It can cause droughts or floods
Why are renewable energies more sustainable than fossil fuels?
They don’t run out and emit less pollution
What system helps cities remove extra rainwater during floods?
Drainage systems
Explain how daily human habits can have a global impact on climate.
When millions do them, emissions increase worldwide
Compare natural climate change in the past with today’s climate change.
Today's change is much faster
How can climate change increase food insecurity?
Droughts and floods damage crops
Why does saving electricity help mitigate climate change?
Because less energy means fewer emissions
What protects coastal cities from rising sea levels?
Sea walls
Why is meat production linked to climate change?
Livestock produce methane
Why can natural factors not fully explain current global warming?
Because greenhouse gas levels are rising due to human activities
Why is climate change a problem for humans, not just animals?
It affects health, homes, food, and water
Explain why mitigation requires changes in both technology and behavior.
Technology reduces emissions, and behavior lowers energy use
What helps people prepare before a natural disaster happens?
Early warning systems
