With reference to ‘NET - ZERO’ goal for 2050, which of the following statements is/are correct ? 1. It means that a country will bring down its emissions to zero by 2050. 2. It means that a country’s emissions to be compensated by absorption and removal of greenhouse gases from the atmosphere. Select the correct answer using the codes given below. 

With reference to ‘NET - ZERO’ goal for 2050, which of the following statements is/are correct ? 1. It means that a country will bring down its emissions to zero by 2050. 2. It means that a country’s emissions to be compensated by absorption and removal of greenhouse gases from the atmosphere. Select the correct answer using the codes given below.  Correct Answer Only 2

The correct answer is 2 only.Key Points
  • About Net Zero: Net zero refers to the balance between the amount of greenhouse gas produced and the amount removed from the atmosphere. We reach net zero when the amount we add is no more than the amount taken away. Hence, statement 2 is correct.

Additional Information

  • The aim of the recently held COP 26 summit in Glasgow was to reach a consensus on actions to keep global warming to 1.5 degrees Celsius (2.7 degrees Fahrenheit) above preindustrial levels and to secure net-zero emissions by 2070. Hence, statement 1 is not correct.
  • India - the world's fourth-biggest emitter of CO2 after China, the US and the EU - has promised to cut its emissions to net-zero by 2070.

Rearrange the given 5 sentences A, B, C, D and E in proper sequence to form a meaningful paragraph and mark the correct sequence from the given options as your answer. It is caused due to the greenhouse effect of increased level of green house gases such as carbon dioxide, CFCs, etc. There are various types of pollutants also which involved in increasing the atmospheric temperature of the earth. Water vapor is also a significant greenhouse gas which is not directly produced by humankind but involve in global warming hugely. Global warming is a gradual increase in the temperature of the earth surface and atmosphere all around the world. Increasing use of fossil fuels by the people and deforestation is increasing carbon dioxide emissions which trap heat and cause greenhouse effect.
In the question below is given a statement followed by two courses of action numbered I and II. You have to assume everything in the statement to be true and on the basis of the information given in the statement, decide which of the suggested course of action logically follow(s) for pursuing. Statement: Uncontrolled release of greenhouse gases, have resulted in the degradation of the ozone layer and global warming. Courses of Action: I: The consumption of the items emitting greenhouse gases should be limited. II: The Government should enforce penalties on the industries that emit greenhouse gases beyond the permissible limits.
The question below consists of a set of labelled sentences in which first and the last sentence is given. Out of the four options given, select the most logical order of the sentences to form a coherent paragraph. S1- Climatic changes have become more prominent now because of global warming which is a global concern. P- Such gases never let sun rays to go back to the atmosphere, however, trap heat from them.  Q- The release of various greenhouse gases in the atmosphere by many natural means and human activities causes an increase in atmospheric temperature because such gases have a capability to absorb all the heat of environment from the sun, burning coal, etc. R- Both are hot issues of the current time and it is the time to analyse causes and prevention methods to prevent global warming.  S- Fossil fuels burning release more carbon dioxide which is increasing day by day because of deforestation.  S6- Plants are the main source to utilize carbon dioxide as a food, however, we are disturbing the natural cycle by cutting more plants.

In the question below, a passage is given followed by three courses of actions numbered I, II and III. On the basis of the information given, you have to assume everything in the statement to be true, and then decide which of the following suggested courses of actions logically follow(s) for pursuing. Passage: Greenland's vast ice sheet may have melted beyond the point of return - a new research suggests. No matter how quickly the world cuts emissions that are heating the climate by using existing legislations, the ice is likely to disappear. However, researchers say that cutting climate-heating emissions could still slow the rate of ice loss. Courses of action: I. Global leaders must come together and bring about a legislation to cut down emissions. II. UNFCCC, the entity tasked with supporting the global response to the threat of climate change, must order a more detailed study on the subject to identify the dangers and suggest remedies. III. “Life on mars” mission must be expedited, and all human beings must be transported to Mars as life will not be able to sustain on Earth.
