Strategies to minimise the impact of Climate change Flashcards
1

Developing countries increase afforestation
A
- TMT more trees are being planted
- TMT more carbon dioxide will be absorbed from the air
2
Q
Developed countries start to switch from fossil fuels to alternative sources
A
- TMT solar, wind, tidal and hydro-electric power can be
used instead - TMT there will be less carbon dioxide produced from
the decrease of burning of fossil fuels
3
Q

A
- TMT carbon dioxide rates are lowered
- TIDT less cars being used
4
Q
Recycling + reusing plastics + oil based products
A
- TMT less plastic and chemicals are being produced +
global warming will slightly decrease - TIB less factory toxins are going into the atmosphere
5
Q
Installing solar panels/windpower + switching to an energy supplier that supplies green electricity
A
- TMT burning of fossil fuels is reduced
- TMT less carbon dioxide is produced
6
Q
Using energy-efficient lightbulbs and rechargable batteries
A
- TMT these new technologies use less of the worlds
resources - Also TMT the amount of energy consumed is reduced
