ANSWER KEY (for self-marking)
• CLIMATIC ISSUES & CARE OF PLACES Global warming: causes - fossil fuels, deforestation; effects - heat waves, sea-level rise, droughts. Ozone: CFCs; skin cancer risk, weaker shield. Deforestation: clearing for farms/timber; soil erosion, lost habitats. Sea-level rise: melting ice + warming seas; flooding of coasts.
• Traditional: planting by seasons, coastal tabu areas, using stone/leaf mulch. Contemporary: solar panels, carbon rules (cap and trade), recycling laws.
• Greenpeace; UNFCCC.
• 1. Agriculture - crops fail in droughts, food prices rise; health - asthma from bad air, more disease after floods.
• 2. no littering; plant trees; reduce-reuse-recycle; join clean-up campaigns.
• 3. reefs give food (fish), income/tourism, coastal protection; harmed by coral mining, over-fishing, pollution/rubbish, anchors.
