Below are sample questions representative of the exercises included on this worksheet and related 9.137 Climate Change Evidence and Impacts skill assessments:

Problem 1Difficulty: Mastery

A 100-year climate record shows short-term ups and downs, but the 20-year moving average rises steadily. What conclusion is best supported?

AA moving average cannot be used to analyze climate data.

BThe record shows only one afternoon's weather.

CNatural variability occurs, but the long-term trend shows warming over the record.

DAny short-term decrease eliminates the long-term warming trend.

Solution & Explanation:Short-term variability can occur within a longer warming trend. A moving average helps reveal the long-term pattern.

Problem 2Difficulty: Mastery

Which argument best uses evidence from temperature, greenhouse gas, ice, sea-level, ocean chemistry, and model data?

AClimate models are useful only when no observations exist.

BMultiple independent observations and model comparisons support ongoing climate change and associated Earth-system impacts.

COne local weather event is enough to explain every global climate pattern.

DOcean chemistry, ice, and sea level are unrelated to climate.

Solution & Explanation:The strongest argument synthesizes several independent evidence lines and uses models to connect observed change with mechanisms and impacts.

Problem 3Difficulty: Mastery

Use the provided coastal flooding diagram. Sea level is 30 cm higher, and the same storm surge reaches farther inland than before. Which conclusion is best supported?

AStorm surge affects only mountain glaciers.

BSea-level rise can increase the inland reach of storm-driven flooding.

CSea-level rise prevents storm surge from reaching land.

DHigher baseline sea level has no effect on coastal flooding.

Solution & Explanation:When the baseline sea level is higher, the same storm surge can ride on top of it and flood farther inland.
