1ctq. In this chapter, we discussed some possible effects of
continued global warming. Which types of hazards would you expect to
increase in your area as the climate changes? Would you expect to see
any decrease in the types of hazards? Think about the ways that climate
change might alter the lives and lifestyles of people living in your
area. Do you see any evidence of climate change where you live? Get solution
2ctq. Assessing the rate and cause of change is important in many disciplines. Have a discussion with a parent or someone of similar age and write down the major changes that have occurred in his or her lifetime and in your lifetime. Characterize these changes as gradual, abrupt, surprising, chaotic, or another descriptive word of your choice. Analyze these changes, and discuss which ones were most important to you personally. Which of these changes affected your environment at the local, regional, or global level? Get solution
3ctq. How do you think climate change is likely to affect you in the future? What adjustments will you have to make? What can you do to mitigate the effects? Get solution
4ctq. Some people, for cultural, political, religious, or other reasons, do not accept the conclusion that climate change is primarily caused by human activities. What do you see as the basis for their opinions or beliefs? How do you think that they might be convinced otherwise? If you share their opinions or beliefs, indicate why you do and what it would take to convince you that climate change is the result of human activities. Get solution
