General
What is the main topic of the video?
The video is about climate change and the scientific evidence behind it.
What do we call the action of cutting trees down in large scale?
We call it DEFORESTATION.
What does the video mention as the root cause of climate change?
It says that the main cause is the increase of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere due to human activities.
What can we do to help save the environment?
We can do a lot of things such as reduce, reuse, and recycle.Try to produce less waste by reusing materials and recycling whenever possible.
Save energy.Turn off the lights, TV, or computer when you’re not using them. Choose energy-efficient appliances.
Use public transport or walk or carpool.Cars produce a lot of CO₂. Using buses, bikes, or walking helps reduce pollution
Explain the concept of 'carpooling'
Carpooling is the practice of sharing a car journey with other people who are going to the same destination or in the same direction.
Has the quantity of Carbon Dioxide (CO2) been increasing or decreasing in recent years?

What do you understand by the term “being skeptical”?
It means not believing everything immediately and asking for proof or evidence before accepting something as true.
Can the global changes we’re seeing now be explained by natural phenomena?
No, scientists say the changes are too fast and strong to be explained only by natural causes.
Explain the term “data.”

Some effects are rising sea levels, melting ice, stronger storms, and changes in weather patterns.
Do you live a green life? (A sustainable and eco-friendly life) What do you do or don't do?
I recycle my waste, use reusable bags instead of plastic ones, and turn off the lights when I leave a room. I also try to walk or use my bike instead of driving short distances. I don't take long showers and I never litter.
What do people produce in large amounts that goes into the atmosphere?

How do you say "efeito estufa" in English?
You say "GREENHOUSE EFFECT".
Is the video based on scientific facts? Support your answer.
Yes, it is. The video uses data from scientists, research, and real evidence to explain climate change.
Is it possible to measure its quantity from far back in the past? Explain.
Yes, scientists can measure it by studying ice cores and other natural records from thousands of years ago.
Suggest ideas to raise people's awareness about the importance of the environment.
We can raise people’s awareness about the importance of the environment by organizing community clean-up events, planting trees, and promoting recycling at schools and workplaces. Social media campaigns and educational programs can also help people understand how their daily choices affect the planet and encourage them to live more sustainably
