The methane and carbon dioxide gases are green-house gases that trap the infra- red radiation from the earth surface and cause global warming. The more extreme weather that we are observing is due to the following reasons: It magnifies the gravitational effect by increasing the buoyancy force due to temperature differences in the lower atmosphere and in the ocean surface. It alters the dynamics of fluid flow that drive our weather system. (iii) It melts the ice in the Artic Sea at North Pole resulting in the rise of ocean water level. (A) (B) (C) (i) and (ii) (i) and (iii) (ii) and (iii) All of the above

Question
The methane and carbon dioxide gases are green-house gases that trap the infra- red radiation from the earth surface and cause global warming. The more extreme weather that we are observing is due to the following reasons: (i) It magnifies the gravitational effect by increasing the buoyancy force due to temperature differences in the lower atmosphere and in the ocean surface. It alters the dynamics of fluid flow that drive our weather system. It melts the ice in the Artic Sea at North Pole resulting in the rise of ocean water level. (ii) (A) (B) (i) and (ii) (i) and (iii) (ii) and (iii) All of the above One of the greatest milestones in human civilization is the establishment of equivalence between heat and work by James Joule in 1840s. This set the stage for utilization of energy in fossil fuel to do work that leads to industrial revolution and the release of green-house gases. For sustainable growth with reduced damage to our environment and for the sake of future generation, the present generation need to do the followings: (i) Use more renewable energy such as hydroelectricity, solar energy, wind energy, biodiesel, etc. (ii) Understand fluid dynamics better to design more efficient turbine, propeller etc. Re-organize our economy by introducing tax on the emission of carbon dioxide and carry out life-cycle analysis of energy utilization for products made. (A) (B) (C) (i) and (ii) (i) and (iii) (ii) and (iii) All of the above
