Question 1-10

If humans were to stop emitting greenhouse gases today, how would the ocean slow the impacts of this decision on global climate change?

A) Heat energy
that is stored in the ocean will be released for decades to come.

B) The stored carbon dioxide in the ocean will be released to replace the manufactured greenhouse gases.

C) Without greenhouse gases the ocean will no longer have heat energy to absorb causing severe cold weather periods.

D) The ocean holds most of the organisms that do photosynthesis and they would die without the extra greenhouse gasses.

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

The oceans absorbs aproximately 25% of the carbon dioxide emissions and 90% of the excess heat generated during these emissions, if the humans were to stop emitting greenhouse gases the heat that is stored in the ocean will be released for decades to come (a), the temperature of the Earth would continue to rise, because the carbon dioxide will continue to accumulate and move along the Earth by the carbon cycle, and the effect of natural heat of the ocean and Earth will continue, but in a slower pace than with the emitting of greenhouse gases by human activity.
