Methane emissions over the past 275 years are the result of extracting fossil fuels, raising cattle and sheep, and constructing reservoirs behind large dams China and the United States together are the source of nearly half of the world's annual greenhouse gas 6. cmissions 7. Earth would be uninhabitable for humans if not for the greenhouse effect 8. A sharp drop in the ability of oceans to absorb CO; is one of several possible climate change tipping points. 9. Approximately 70% of land-based species assessed so far could go extinct if the average global temperature increases beyond 3.5 degrees C. 10. Summer ice in the Arctic Sea may be gone by 2040. 11. Sea levels rise because the glaciers are melting. 12. Sea levels are rising more slowly than IPCC scientists thought in 2007 13. Computer modeling has been used to show climate change with and without human influences. 15 Land use changes have had a role in climate change. Volcanic eruptions are a natural event that can alter climate. 17. There has been some success in slowing down global warming. I8. Global warming has not yet resulted in significant changes. 19. 16. The political processes involved with climate change are more difficult to work on than the physical 21. Patrick Michaels, author of "Lukewarming." agrees that anthropogenic carbon dioxide emissions are change, the rapid 20. Because of climate change, there are more droughts in some places. significantly contributing to climate change and that humans should stop burning fossil fuels and invest in renewable energies instead 22. According to the American Meteorological Society's policy statement on climate warming of the climate system since the 1950s is unequivocal. 24. People who have limited diets usually have chronic malnutrition. 25. In Nepal, only about 25% of thecountry is agricultural. 26. Famine is not always just about food. 27. As a result of climate change, the winter monsoons in Nepal have increased. 28. Food systems are functioning very efficiently so that less food is wasted and more goes to people. 29.

In Massachusetts, farmers receive tax credits for the food they donate. 36. The Boston Area Gleaners collect only the poorer quality produce for distribution that can't be sold in regular markets.Explanation / Answer
True. Climate change affect the entire planet and will be long term. This is because climate change cannot be undone in an instant manner and it takes a lot of time to change.
False . Milankovitch cycles are caused by changes in the shape of the Earth's orbit around the sun, the tilt of the Earth's rotation axis, and the wobble of our axis and thus caused naturally.
False: The impacts of climate change will not be distributed equally. Some individuals, sectors, systems, and regions will be less affected—or may even benefit; other individuals, sectors, systems, and regions may suffer significant losses.
False. It required many years of data to predict that the Earth climate is changing
