Question

5 select the correct answer. as an environmental scientist, mike wants to address the issue of climate change. studying which aspect will help mike address the issue? a. higher levels of ultraviolet rays reaching earth b. higher number of fish eaters c. emission of greenhouse gases d. burning of forests

Explanation:

To address climate change, the key factor to study is the emission of greenhouse gases (like CO₂, CH₄). Greenhouse gas emissions trap heat in the atmosphere, driving global warming and climate change. Higher UV rays (A) are linked to ozone depletion, not direct climate change drivers. More fish eaters (B) relates to food chains, not climate change. Forest burning (D) is a source of emissions but studying emissions (C) is more fundamental to understanding and addressing climate change as it targets the root cause of heat trapping.

Answer:

C. emission of greenhouse gases
