Which of the following CANNOT be considered as a measure to control global warming?
-
A.
Efficiently using energy
-
B.
Reduction in emission of greenhouse gases
-
C.
Causing deforestation
-
D.
Cutting down use of fossil fuel
Correct Answer:
C. Causing deforestation
Explanation:
Global warming is primarily driven by the accumulation of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, which trap heat. Strategies to mitigate this include increasing energy efficiency, transitioning away from fossil fuels, and reducing the emission of gases like carbon dioxide and methane. Conversely, deforestation involves the clearing of forests, which are vital carbon sinks that absorb CO2. By removing these trees, carbon sequestration decreases and stored carbon is released, thereby exacerbating the warming effect rather than controlling it. Therefore, causing deforestation is the action that cannot be considered a measure to control global warming.
