Climate Change Managment Strategies

Question 1

Fully explain charge on single use carrier bags As a climate change management strategy

Answer 1

• The UK Government now levy a charge of 10p for every carrier bag

• Less plastic produced – so less co2 emitted in production reducing the enhanced
greenhouse effect

Question 2

Fully explain renewable energy as a climate change management strategy

Answer 2

• Developed countries increased investment in solar, wind, or tidal to create electricity
(e.g. Robin Rigg)

• This reduces the need for burning fossil fuels reducing CO2 in the atmosphere
reducing the enhanced greenhouse effect

Question 3

Fully explain alternative fuels as a climate change management strategy

Answer 3

• The UK is to ban the sale of new petrol and diesel cars by 2035

• Alternative fuel sources are being encouraged e.g. electric cars

• No CO2 emitted in running the car reducing the enhanced greenhouse effect

Question 4

Fully explain removing older vehicles as a climate change management strategy

Answer 4

• Road tax is significantly reduced on vehicles with low CO2 emissions

• Encourages people to get rid of older more polluting vehicles meaning less CO2 in
the atmosphere reducing the enhanced greenhouse effect

Question 5

Fully explain improving home efficiency as a climate change management strategy

Answer 5

• The Warm Home Scotland Grant gives homeowners money to insulate houses

• This means people do not have to use as much energy to heat their homes

• Meaning less CO2 produced from gas boilers reducing the enhanced greenhouse effect

Question 6

Fully explain recycling as a climate change management strategy

Answer 6

• Local councils supply bins to help householders recycle various products – this means the waste is no longer going to landfill meaning less methane is produced reducing the enhanced greenhouse effect
