• B. Cutting down the use of fossil fuels
• C. Planting more trees
• D. Slowing down the growth of human population

Answer 1

Answer: (A)

Temperature rise leads to odd climatic changes

The rise in temperature due to global warming is leading to deleterious changes in the environment and resulting in odd climatic changes like EL Nino effect. El Nino effect is the abnormal warming of surface ocean water. It affects the weather in large parts of the world. Moisture carrying capacity of air will increase. Pattern of air-mass movement will change. Precipitation will increase at higher latitudes both in summer and winter and in southern as well as Eastern Asia in summer. Frequency of droughts and floods will increase. Threat to human health will increase in tropical and subtropical countries due to changed ranges of disease vectors and water borne pathogens.

So, the correct answer is 'Temperature rise leads to odd climatic changes'.
