Question

question 47
increasing carbon sinks will
○ increase global warming and decrease climate change.
○ decrease global warming and decrease climate change.
○ decrease global warming and increase climate change.
○ increase global warming and increase climate change.

Explanation:

Carbon sinks, like forests or oceans, absorb carbon dioxide (\(CO_2\)). Since \(CO_2\) is a greenhouse gas, reducing its concentration (by increasing sinks) lessens global warming. Climate change is closely tied to global warming - less warming means less severe climate change impacts.

Answer:

decrease global warming and decrease climate change.
