Question

The overarching goal of the carbon mitigation initiative is to _______.

a. develop alternative fuel sources
b. reduce carbon dioxide emissions
c. simulate and predict the future climate on Earth
d. find solutions to the global warming dilemma

Answer 1

Answer: (D) Find solutions to the global warming dilemma

Step-by-step explanation:

The carbon mitigation initiative is the process which bring all the fundamental science and the technological development together. The main goal of the CMI (Carbon mitigation initiative) is that it mainly find the solution on the dilemma of the global warming.

It basically ensure the actual fixation of the carbon so that it does not promote the global Warming by increasing the temperature in the atmosphere. Therefore, Option (D) is correct.

Answer 2

The answer is D. When carbon-based fuels are burned, they emit carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. Carbon dioxide is a greenhouse gas that causes a greenhouse effect that increases global temperatures hence global warming. However, it is important to note that carbon dioxide is not the only carbon-based greenhouse gas. Methane too is a greenhouse gas, several times more potent than carbon dioxide. Reducing the emission of these greenhouse gases, therefore, mitigates the risk of global warming.
