Question

which of the following activities is an example of reducing personal carbon footprints? a. eating a diet high in meat b. leaving lights on when not in use c. driving alone in a car d. using public transportation what is the significance of glaciers melting due to climate change? a. they increase earths albedo b. they create new habitats for species c. they threaten freshwater resources d. they reduce global temperatures which agreement focuses on limiting global warming by reducing emissions? a. paris agreement b. kyoto protocol c. montreal protocol d. geneva convention

Explanation:

• For the first question, public transportation uses less energy per - person compared to individual car - driving, meat - production has high carbon emissions, and leaving lights on wastes energy. So using public transportation reduces personal carbon footprints.
• For the second question, glaciers are a major source of freshwater. When they melt, it can disrupt the balance of freshwater resources. Melting glaciers reduce Earth's albedo, don't create new habitats in a positive sense for most species, and are a result of global warming, not a reducer of it.
• For the third question, the Paris Agreement aims to limit global warming by reducing greenhouse - gas emissions. The Kyoto Protocol also aimed at emission reduction but is less comprehensive than the Paris Agreement in the current context. The Montreal Protocol is about ozone - layer protection, and the Geneva Convention is about the laws of war.

Answer:

1. d. Using public transportation
2. c. They threaten freshwater resources
3. a. Paris Agreement
