1. Read the following passage carefully and answer the questions given below it.
Climate change is one of the most pressing challenges facing humanity today. It is primarily driven by
the increase in greenhouse gases, such as carbon dioxide, methane, and nitrous oxide, which trap heat
in the Earth’s atmosphere. The consequences of climate change are far-reaching, affecting ecosystems,
weather patterns, sea levels, and human health. From more frequent and severe natural disasters like
hurricanes and wildfires to the melting of polar ice caps and the rising sea levels that threaten coastal
communities, the impact of climate change is becoming increasingly evident.
One of the primary contributors to climate change is the burning of fossil fuels, such as coal, oil, and
natural gas, for energy. This process releases significant amounts of carbon dioxide into the
atmosphere. Deforestation also plays a major role, as trees that absorb carbon dioxide are cut down,
reducing the planet’s ability to regulate the amount of carbon in the atmosphere.
To mitigate the effects of climate change, a multi-faceted approach is needed. First and foremost,
reducing the dependence on fossil fuels by transitioning to renewable energy sources, such as solar,
wind, and hydropower, is crucial. These alternatives generate energy without emitting greenhouse
gases. Additionally, reforestation and afforestation efforts can help absorb carbon dioxide from the
atmosphere, restoring the natural balance.
Another important solution is improving energy efficiency in buildings, transportation, and industry.
By using energy more wisely, we can reduce overall greenhouse gas emissions. Moreover,
governments and businesses can implement policies and incentives to promote sustainable practices,
such as carbon pricing, which charges polluters for the amount of carbon they emit, encouraging them
to reduce their emissions.
It may be argued that individuals can play a role by adopting more sustainable lifestyles. Simple
actions, such as reducing energy consumption, using public transport, recycling, and supporting
environmentally friendly products, can collectively make a significant difference in combating climate
change.
