Question

Which of the following strategy is not a correct approach to reduce global warming?

• A. Reducing the green house gas emission by limiting the use of fossil fuels.
• B. Increase the vegetation cover, particularly the forest for photosynthetic utilization of $C{O}_2$.
• C. Minimizing the use of nitrogen fertilizers in agriculture for reducing $N_2$O emission.
• D. Increasing the use of air conditioners, refrigeration unit and production of plastic foams and propellants in aerosal spray cans.
• E. Developing substitutes for chlorofluorocarbons.

Answer 1

Answer: (D)

Increasing the use of air conditioners, refrigeration unit and production of plastic foams and propellants in aerosal spray cans.

Increased use of air conditioners, refrigeration unit and plastic foam production like activities tends to emits potent greenhouse gases like chlorofluorocarbon (CFC), hydrofluorocarbon (HFC), and hydro chlorofluorocarbon (HCFC). These gases tend to deplete ozone layer of the atmosphere that causes the harmful UV radiation to enter the atmosphere. This in turn is responsible for the global warming. So Increased use of these things is not the correct approach to solve global warming issue.
