Which of the following CANNOT be considered as a measure to control global warming?
-
A.
Cutting down use of fossil fuel
-
B.
Efficiently using energy
-
C.
Reduction in emission of greenhouse gases
-
D.
Causing deforestation
Correct Answer:
D. Causing deforestation
Explanation:
Deforestation is the process of clearing or thinning forests, which significantly contributes to global warming rather than controlling it. Trees play a vital role in the environment by absorbing carbon dioxide, a primary greenhouse gas, through photosynthesis; when they are removed, this carbon-storing capacity is lost, and the carbon previously stored in the wood is released back into the atmosphere. In contrast, measures like reducing fossil fuel use, increasing energy efficiency, and lowering greenhouse gas emissions are all effective strategies for mitigating rising global temperatures.
