Question

13 multiple choice 1 point the greenhouse gas, carbon dioxide, is produced as a waste product of photosynthesis by the burning of fossil fuels by fatty acid production 14 multiple answer 1 point what are the motivations noted in lecture notes? (choose all that apply) we are entrusted with caring for creation. we are commanded to love our neighbor as ourselves. we are created in the image of god. 15 multiple choice 1 point which of the following does climate change affect? agriculture sea levels rain patterns all of these choices are correct.

Explanation:

13

• Photosynthesis produces oxygen as a waste product, not carbon dioxide.
• Burning fossil fuels (like coal, oil, and gas) releases carbon dioxide into the atmosphere.
• Fatty acid production is not a significant source of carbon dioxide.

• In many religious and ethical frameworks, the idea of being entrusted with caring for Creation (the Earth and its inhabitants) is a motivation for environmental stewardship.
• Loving one's neighbor as oneself can extend to considering the well - being of future generations (affected by environmental decisions) and those in different regions (affected by climate - related issues like resource scarcity).
• The concept of being created in the image of God can imply a responsibility to act in a godly (caring, responsible) way towards the environment.

• Agriculture: Climate change can affect temperature, precipitation, and the prevalence of pests. For example, changes in temperature can alter the growing seasons, and changes in rain patterns can lead to droughts or floods, both of which impact crop yields.
• Sea levels: Melting of glaciers and thermal expansion of seawater due to warming temperatures cause sea - level rise, which can flood coastal areas.
• Rain patterns: Global warming can disrupt atmospheric circulation patterns, leading to more extreme and less predictable rain patterns (e.g., more intense storms in some areas and prolonged dry spells in others).

Answer:

B. By the burning of fossil fuels
