Solution

The correct option is A Only A and B
The advantages of global warming are;

  • The Arctic, Antarctic, Siberia, and other frozen regions of the earth might experience more plant growth and milder climates.
  • The next ice age could possibly be prevented.
  • The Northwest passage through the formerly icy Canadian Arctic Archipelago could arguably open up to transportation.
  • Fewer deaths or injuries would occur due to arctic conditions.
  • Longer growing seasons could mean increased agricultural production in some areas.
  • Previously untapped oil and gas reserves might become available.

The migration of people derived from global warming will undoubtedly facilitate the migration of these pathogens, directly influencing public health and the economy (costs in prevention, control and treatment) and will have a negative impact on the world population. Also, increases in average annual temperatures create conditions that dramatically elevate the risk and severity of forest fires.

Q.

Directions for the questions:

Read the following passages and answer the items that follow each passage. Your answers to these items should be based on the passages only.

PASSAGE 3

The International Organization for Migration defines environmental migrants as “persons or groups of persons who, for compelling reasons of sudden or progressive changes in the environment that adversely affect their lives or living conditions, are obliged to leave their habitual homes, or choose to do so, either temporarily or permanently, and who move either within their country or abroad.”

Increased migration – or forced displacement – will continue to be driven by the effects of climate change, including extreme weather events like strong hurricanes. Without development efforts to stem the effects of climate change on children and families, the scale of forced displacement will “ramp up” by 2050 and then accelerate, according to the World Bank Group.

As disasters occur more frequently and become more dangerous, “some local areas will become increasingly marginal as places to live or in which to maintain livelihoods,” according to the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). And when that happens, forced displacement may become permanent relocation, particularly on atolls (rings of coral islands), adding pressures to the communities where people seek refuge. The IPCC finds an increased risk of forced displacement for some populations, including people in rural and urban areas with higher exposure to extreme weather events; low-income developing countries; and communities without the resources to plan for displacement.

Q. Consider the following statements

1. Migration of people to other lands in search of better economic opportunities can also be classified as Mitigation.
2. Communities from low income developing countries face a risk of Mitigation than the rest of the people.

Which of the statements given above is/are incorrect?

गद्यांश 3

प्रवासन के लिए अंतर्राष्ट्रीय संगठन पर्यावरणीय प्रवासियों को "ऐसे व्यक्तियों या व्यक्तियों के समूह के रूप में परिभाषित करता है, जो पर्यावरण में अचानक या प्रगतिशील परिवर्तनों के कारणों को मजबूर करते हैं जो उनके जीवन या रहने की स्थिति को प्रतिकूल रूप से प्रभावित करते हैं जिस कारण वे आदतन अपने घरों को या तो अस्थायी रूप से या स्थायी रूप से छोड़ने के लिए बाध्य हो जाते हैं। ” बढ़ा हुआ पलायन या जबरन विस्थापन जलवायु परिवर्तन के प्रभाव से जारी रहेगा, जिसमें तेज तूफान जैसी चरम मौसमी घटनाएं भी शामिल हैं। विश्व बैंक समूह के अनुसार बच्चों और परिवारों पर जलवायु परिवर्तन के प्रभावों को कम करने के लिए उचित प्रयास नहीं किये गए तो 2050 तक जबरन विस्थापन में और "तेजी" आएगी। जैसा कि आपदाएं बार बार आती हैं और अधिक खतरनाक होती हैं । "जलवायु परिवर्तन (आईपीसीसी) पर संयुक्त राष्ट्र के अंतर सरकारी पैनल के अनुसार" कुछ रहने लाइक स्थानीय क्षेत्र या जिसमें आजीविका बनाए रखने की क्षमता है वे तेजी से सिकुड़ जाएंगे। आईपीसीसी के अनुसार ग्रामीण और शहरी क्षेत्रों की आबादी में जलवायु परिवर्तन, कम आय वाले विकासशील देश और संसाधनों के बिना समूहों में जबरन विस्थापन का खतरा बढ़ जायेगा ।

Q. निम्नलिखित कथनों पर विचार करें

1 बेहतर आर्थिक अवसरों की तलाश में दूसरी भूमि पर लोगों के प्रवास को भी प्रवास के रूप में वर्गीकृत किया जा सकता है।
2 कम आय वाले विकासशील देशों के समुदायों में बाकी लोगों की तुलना में प्रवास का जोखिम होता है।

ऊपर दिए गए कथनों में से कौन सा गलत है / हैं?
