Question 18 Select the FALSE statement about the ocean as a climate reservoir Question 18 options: Oceans will begin cooling as soon as we stop emitting carbon dioxide from fossil fuel burning Most surplus planetary energy goes into the ocean Ocean heat content provides energy for tropical cyclones The heat capacity of the oceans imposes a time delay on the climate system It is the ocean heat content that drives the heat content of the atmosphere Question 19 What emits more thermal radiation? Question 19 options: The temperature is irrelevant, it is the type of source that matters. A colder source A source that is a greenhouse gas A hotter source Question 20 Which of the following is TRUE about Arctic sea ice? Question 20 options: Sea ice is generally unimportant for climate change, we are mostly only interested in land The areal extent of sea ice doesn't vary much by season. Every year, the mean extent of Arctic sea ice has been smaller than the previous year. Generally, it is most informative to measure sea ice extent in September.
