Global Climate Change

Question 2 • AP Environmental Science - SC5181 B

Which of the following activities would not contribute to global climate change?

Answer
A
Carpooling or taking public transit
B
Riding a bicycle or walking to work
C
Flying to a tropical island for vacation
D
Driving a gasoline- or diesel-powered vehicle

Explanation

Walking or riding a bicycle to work does not burn fuel and produces little to no direct greenhouse gas emissions. Flying and driving gasoline- or diesel-powered vehicles burn fossil fuels, releasing greenhouse gases that contribute to climate change. Carpooling or taking public transit can reduce emissions per person, but the vehicles still generally produce emissions.
