Question

8) Using the figure, identify the approximate change in radiative forcing between 2020 and 2100 for the RCP4.5 scenario.

  •  A. ~0.3 W/m2
  •  B. ~4.8 W/m2
  •  C. ~3.4 W/m2
  •  D. ~1.8 W/m2

11) The fact that the early Earth did not become a giant snowball or become unbearably hot was due to the composition of the early atmosphere and to the fact that the Sun at this time in Earth’s history did not produce as much energy as it does at present which has led to which of the following names for this period of lower solar output from the sun?

  •  Faint sun paradox.
  •  B. Milankovitch cycle.
  •  C. Solar intensity enigma
  •  D. The Helios anomaly
