Below are sample questions representative of the exercises included on this worksheet and related 6.87 Human Impacts and Climate Change skill assessments:

Problem 1Difficulty: Mastery

A student designs a plan to reduce their school’s climate impact.

Which statement best describes why combining these actions can be especially effective?

AMultiple actions cancel each other out, so nothing changes.

BThey target multiple emission sources (food, energy, transportation) and can add up to a larger total reduction than any single change.

CCombining actions increases emissions because it is more complicated.

DOnly transportation matters; food and buildings never emit greenhouse gases.

Solution & Explanation:Emissions come from many sources. A multi-part plan reduces several categories at once, so the total reduction can be larger and more reliable.

Problem 2Difficulty: Mastery

A school considers planting trees on a former grassland habitat that supports rare species.

Which statement best describes the most thoughtful conclusion?

ABiodiversity has no connection to human impacts.

BPlanting trees can store carbon, but converting a natural grassland may harm biodiversity; the best choice depends on comparing climate benefits with ecosystem costs and considering other locations.

CTree planting is always best, even if it eliminates rare species.

DGrasslands store no carbon, so they are worthless ecosystems.

Solution & Explanation:Ecosystems provide multiple values. Some grasslands store carbon in soils and support unique species. Good decisions weigh carbon gains against habitat loss and consider alternatives.

Problem 3Difficulty: Mastery

A graph description: In one decade, a country’s CO2 emissions fall 20%.

Which statement best describes the most likely reason?

AGlobal concentration depends on worldwide emissions and removals; if global emissions remain above what sinks remove, CO2 will still rise even if one country cuts emissions.

BIf one country cuts emissions, global CO2 must drop immediately.

CCO2 concentration rises only because of ocean waves.

DCO2 concentration is unrelated to emissions.

Solution & Explanation:Atmospheric CO2 increases when total global emissions exceed total global removal by oceans and land. A single country’s cuts help, but worldwide totals still matter.
