Which of the following problems is caused by exploding population and increasing consumption?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Exploding population and increasing consumption contribute to climate destabilization through the release of greenhouse gases, such as carbon dioxide, which trap heat in the atmosphere and cause global temperatures to rise. This also leads to other issues, such as melting ice caps, rising sea levels, and more frequent and severe weather events. Decreased atmospheric methane (A) is not typically caused by population growth or consumption, but rather changes in land use and agricultural practices. Species migrating toward the Equator (C) may be a consequence of climate change, but is not directly caused by population growth and consumption. Similarly, diminishing of the warming greenhouse-gas blanket (D) is a result of climate change, not a cause.
