Question

according to the ipcc, all of the following are likely to happen as a result of a warming planet except select one: a. increased risk of flooding. b. increased number of severe weather events. c. increased agricultural productivity. d. increased risk of illness and death due to heat.

Explanation:

The Inter - governmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) has identified that a warming planet leads to increased flooding risk due to sea - level rise and more intense precipitation, more severe weather events like heatwaves, storms, etc., and an increased risk of illness and death due to heat. However, while some regions might initially see a small boost in agricultural productivity in some cases, overall, climate change is expected to have a negative impact on agricultural productivity due to factors like droughts, heatwaves, pests, and changing precipitation patterns.

Answer:

C. increased agricultural productivity.
