Question-Answers: Climate Change
Solution 1
In my opinion, climate is the most important element of earth’s geography. Recently,
climate-change is the most critical issue of the geographical changes due to various kinds of
pollutions all around the world. As the technology and life-standard is getting advanced,
climate is changing abruptly resulting negative outcomes for human societies. Therefore,
research, policy making, effective implementation and on-time assessment of the
geographical changes should be mandatory to ensure a sustainable future at earth.
Solution 2
In this context, the Nobel Laureate Al Gore has focused the globe’s attention over the
world climate-crisis. Besides, I am delighted after knowing that he is demonstrating the way
how our earth is moving towards real solutions to climate-crisis problems. My reaction over
TED talks by AI Gore was of an optimistic person, because when I heard his talk, I felt
positive vibes in terms of a new thinking over the climate change crisis worldwide (Wheeler
& Von Braun, 2013).
Solution 3
After watching recent videos over the topic of climate change, my comprised reaction
is all about putting directional efforts for averting climate crisis and preventing global
warming effects as much as possible. My thinking has evolved as we all humans should be
united for cultivating our environment’s pure form while stopping processes which contribute
majorly to this climate crisis (Wernberg, et al., 2011).
Solution 4
The results of my carbon footprint exercise suggest that this exercise allowed me to
access valuable info over the issue related to climate change. Thus, suggestions are:
 People must assess their household’s Carbon Footprint

 National and global firms should make plans to reduce emissions (Upham, Janet,
& David, 2009).
 Individuals should support Carbon Offsetting Projects worldwide (Gossling &
Upham, 2009).
Solution 5
In my opinion, climate-change or crisis is not at all a controversial topic but it is an
important topic to be taken by the earth, as a whole. There should be no controversies over
this discussion as we all are human-beings and part of the eco-system. In this way, climate
change is not a controversial discussion and hence it is to be addressed all together (Gossling
& Upham, 2009).
Solution 6
Yes, technology has largely contributed towards the problem of climate change
(Dresner, 2010). For an example, modern technology has enabled tremendous progress with
autonomous vehicles which are considerably using natural resources in as systematic manner.
However, technological advancements can easily be utilised to mitigate the climate-change
impacts of globalization (Wheeler & Von Braun, 2013).
Solution 7
Technology has majorly contributed towards the solutions of the problem related to
climate change and hence it will remain contributing during the future in following ways:
 By using technology, we could head into space for the climate related research
(Upham, Janet, & David, 2009).
 Technology enabled pollution sensors everywhere for creating a healthier
environment (Wernberg, et al., 2011).
