Question 13

Multiple Choice

Suppose scientists discover (somehow) that if ΔT\Delta T , the average global temperature increase since 1900, were to exceed 1.0C1.0^{\circ} \mathrm{C} , Greenland's ice sheet would irreversibly start to collapse within 20 years, raising ocean levels significantly. ΔT\Delta T is currently 0.8C0.8^{\circ} \mathrm{C} . What might we do to prevent this from happening?


A) Cut CO2\mathrm{CO}_{2} emissions in half.
B) Completely stop emitting CO2\mathrm{CO}_{2} now.
C) Actively start removing CO2\mathrm{CO}_{2} from the atmosphere.
