SECTION C READING COMPREHENSION (10 MARKS)

Carefully read the following passage and then answer all the questions that
follow.

Climate is the average weather in a place over many years. Climate change is a shift in
those average conditions. The rapid climate change we are now seeing is caused by
humans using oil, gas and coal for their homes, factories and transport. When these
fossil fuels burn, they release greenhouse gases – mostly carbon dioxide (CO2). These
gases trap the Sun's heat and cause the planet's temperature to rise. The world is now
about 1.1°C warmer than it was in the 19th Century – and the amount of CO2 in the
atmosphere has risen by 50%
Temperature rises must slow down if we want to avoid the worst consequences of
climate change, according to climate scientists. They say global warming needs to be
kept to 1.5°C by 2100. With further warming, some regions could become
uninhabitable, as farmland turns into desert. East Africa is currently facing its fifth
season of failed rains, which has put up to 22 million people at risk of severe hunger.
Extreme temperatures can also increase the risk of wildfires – as seen in Europe in
summer. Hotter temperatures also mean that previously frozen ground will melt in
places like Siberia, releasing greenhouse gases trapped for centuries into the
atmosphere, further worsening climate change. In other regions, extreme rainfall
causes flooding, as seen recently in China, Pakistan and Nigeria. Other times, flooding
can be caused by rising sea levels. Major changes need to come from governments
and businesses, but scientists say some small changes in our lives can limit our
impact on the climate: take fewer flights, live car-free or use an electric car, reduce
consumption of meat and dairy products, reduce your energy use, buy energy
efficient products, such as washing machines, when they need replacing, improve
your home insulation and switch from a gas heating system to an electric heat pump.
