Question

Which of the following statements is/are incorrect for reducing global warming?

• A. Avoid burning of dry leaves, wood etc
• B. Minimize the use of automobiles
• C. Plant more trees to increase the green cover
• D. Excessive use of chlorofluro carbon

Answer 1

The correct option is D

Excessive use of chlorofluro carbon

Chlorofluorocarbon (CFC) is one of the greenhouse gases that absorb and emit infrared radiation and thereby raising the average temperature of the earth i.e. global warming. So, excessive use of chlorofluorocarbon (CFC) raises global warming.

Burning of dry leaves and wood along with combustion of fuel will produce carbon dioxide $C{O}_2$ which is one of the greenhouse gas and that raises the average temperature of the earth. So, avoiding this will reduce global warming. Planting more trees will increase the intake of $C{O}_2$ by plants and less concentration in the environment and hence, it reduces global warming.
