Question 5 • FL-2002070-M/J Comprehensive Science 2

Which activity is least likely to increase greenhouse gases in the atmosphere?

Answer
A
using fertilizers on crops
B
using non-chlorofluorocarbon refrigerants
C
running a gasoline-based generator
D
driving in a bus

Explanation

Fertilizers can release nitrous oxide, while gasoline generators and buses burn fuel and emit carbon dioxide. Non-chlorofluorocarbon refrigerants are less likely to add greenhouse gases than the other listed activities, especially when they avoid refrigerants with high global-warming potential. Therefore, using non-chlorofluorocarbon refrigerants is the least likely choice.
