How does climate change affect the demand for energy?

  1. It increases the demand for heating in winter.

  2. It decreases the demand for cooling in summer.

  3. It leads to a more balanced demand for energy throughout the year.

  4. It has no significant impact on energy demand.

Show answer
Correct Option:
Explanation:

Climate change is leading to warmer winters, which results in a decreased demand for heating. However, it is also leading to hotter summers, which increases the demand for cooling.

Which of the following is NOT a health risk associated with climate change?

  1. Heat-related illnesses

  2. Respiratory problems

  3. Cardiovascular diseases

  4. Dengue fever

Show answer
Correct Option:
Explanation:

Dengue fever is a mosquito-borne disease that is not directly caused by climate change. However, climate change can create conditions that are more favorable for mosquito breeding, which can lead to an increased risk of dengue fever transmission.

How can climate change affect the reliability of energy systems?

  1. It can lead to more frequent and severe power outages.

  2. It can make energy systems more resilient and reliable.

  3. It has no impact on the reliability of energy systems.

  4. It can improve the efficiency of energy systems.

Show answer
Correct Option:
Explanation:

Climate change can lead to more extreme weather events, such as heat waves, droughts, and storms, which can damage energy infrastructure and disrupt energy supplies.

Which of the following is NOT a way to reduce the health risks associated with climate change?

  1. Improving air quality

  2. Promoting physical activity

  3. Increasing access to healthcare

  4. Reducing greenhouse gas emissions

Show answer
Correct Option:
Explanation:

Reducing greenhouse gas emissions is a long-term strategy to address climate change, but it does not directly reduce the health risks associated with climate change in the short term.

How can climate change affect the availability of energy resources?

  1. It can lead to a decrease in the availability of fossil fuels.

  2. It can increase the availability of renewable energy sources.

  3. It has no impact on the availability of energy resources.

  4. It can improve the efficiency of energy use.

Show answer
Correct Option:
Explanation:

Climate change can lead to changes in weather patterns and sea levels, which can make it more difficult to extract and transport fossil fuels.

Which of the following is NOT a way to mitigate the effects of climate change on energy and human health?

  1. Investing in renewable energy

  2. Improving energy efficiency

  3. Promoting sustainable agriculture

  4. Reducing deforestation

Show answer
Correct Option:
Explanation:

Promoting sustainable agriculture is a way to address climate change, but it does not directly mitigate the effects of climate change on energy and human health.

How can climate change affect the cost of energy?

  1. It can lead to higher energy prices.

  2. It can lead to lower energy prices.

  3. It has no impact on energy prices.

  4. It can make energy prices more stable.

Show answer
Correct Option:
Explanation:

Climate change can lead to more extreme weather events, which can damage energy infrastructure and disrupt energy supplies. This can lead to higher energy prices.

Which of the following is NOT a health benefit of using renewable energy sources?

  1. Reduced air pollution

  2. Reduced greenhouse gas emissions

  3. Improved cardiovascular health

  4. Increased physical activity

Show answer
Correct Option:
Explanation:

Increased physical activity is not a direct health benefit of using renewable energy sources.

How can climate change affect the distribution of energy resources?

  1. It can lead to a more equitable distribution of energy resources.

  2. It can lead to a more concentrated distribution of energy resources.

  3. It has no impact on the distribution of energy resources.

  4. It can improve the efficiency of energy use.

Show answer
Correct Option:
Explanation:

Climate change can lead to changes in weather patterns and sea levels, which can make it more difficult to extract and transport energy resources from certain regions.

Which of the following is NOT a way to adapt to the effects of climate change on energy and human health?

  1. Developing early warning systems for extreme weather events

  2. Improving public health infrastructure

  3. Promoting sustainable agriculture

  4. Investing in renewable energy

Show answer
Correct Option:
Explanation:

Promoting sustainable agriculture is a way to address climate change, but it is not a direct way to adapt to the effects of climate change on energy and human health.

How can climate change affect the demand for cooling energy?

  1. It can increase the demand for cooling energy.

  2. It can decrease the demand for cooling energy.

  3. It has no impact on the demand for cooling energy.

  4. It can make the demand for cooling energy more balanced throughout the year.

Show answer
Correct Option:
Explanation:

Climate change is leading to hotter summers, which increases the demand for cooling energy.

Which of the following is NOT a health risk associated with extreme heat?

  1. Heat stroke

  2. Heat exhaustion

  3. Hypothermia

  4. Cardiovascular problems

Show answer
Correct Option:
Explanation:

Hypothermia is a health risk associated with cold weather, not extreme heat.

How can climate change affect the availability of water for energy production?

  1. It can lead to a decrease in the availability of water for energy production.

  2. It can increase the availability of water for energy production.

  3. It has no impact on the availability of water for energy production.

  4. It can improve the efficiency of water use for energy production.

Show answer
Correct Option:
Explanation:

Climate change can lead to changes in weather patterns and sea levels, which can make it more difficult to access and use water for energy production.

Which of the following is NOT a way to reduce the carbon footprint of the energy sector?

  1. Investing in renewable energy

  2. Improving energy efficiency

  3. Promoting sustainable agriculture

  4. Using carbon capture and storage technologies

Show answer
Correct Option:
Explanation:

Promoting sustainable agriculture is a way to address climate change, but it is not a direct way to reduce the carbon footprint of the energy sector.

How can climate change affect the health of vulnerable populations?

  1. It can exacerbate existing health conditions.

  2. It can lead to new health problems.

  3. It has no impact on the health of vulnerable populations.

  4. It can improve the health of vulnerable populations.

Show answer
Correct Option:
Explanation:

Climate change can exacerbate existing health conditions, such as respiratory problems, cardiovascular diseases, and mental health disorders, among vulnerable populations.
