The Maldives has been diligently lobbying the international community to address the increase in __________ and the possibility of an increase in sea level caused by global warming.

Question

BlackTom AI · Accepted Answer

The question asks about what the Maldives has been lobbying the international community to address in relation to rising sea levels caused by global warming.
Option 1: chlorofluorocarbons. While CFCs are greenhouse gases and ozone-depleting substances, the phrasing of the question points to the broader issue of emissions contributing to climate change and sea level rise, rather than focusing specifically on ozone depletion.
Option 2: tourism. Although tourism is a major economic activity for the Maldives and can be impacted by climate change, it is not the pollutant or driver that directly contributes to global warming or sea level rise. Thus, this choice does not fit the context of emissions or climate drivers.
Option 3: globalization. Globalization describes an economic and cultural process, not a pollutant or environmental factor. It does not directly address the cause of sea level rise through greenhouse effects, so this is not the correct focus here.
Option 4: greenhouse gas emissions. This option identifies the primary drivers of global warming, which in turn lead to sea ice melt and ocean expansion contributing to sea level rise. The Maldives has indeed advocated for reductions in emissions and stronger climate action to mitigate such impacts.
In summary, the statement that best aligns with concerns about warming-driven sea level rise is tied to the broad category of emissions that drive climate change, namely greenhouse gas emissions.
