Question

Question: Which of the following statements is false about the impacts of climate change? Choose all that apply.

Group of answer choices

A) A drought- and heat-induced increase of wildfires can have continent-wide impacts on human health

B) Lower temperatures in some areas and at certain times are expected due to disruption in typical weather patterns.

C) An increase in land conversion from natural habitats to developed or agriculture can reduce the zoonotic potential of diseases

D) In the US, increased temperatures disproportionately affect the health of marginalized communities

E) The conditions brought about by climate change may actually benefit agricultural productivity

Possible explanation: Is this correct?

Explanation-

Statement C is false because when the land is converted from a natural habitat to something else that is if it could be used for agriculture or if it could be used for building purpose then zoonotic potential for diseases actually increase. Zoonotic potential is the spread of diseases from animals to humans. Actually changes in climate such as increased temperature may cause the change in habitat and change in habitat may cause the various animals species to move in greater contact with humans causing the development of various zoonotic diseases such as Corona virus invasion to the human territory causing a severe pandemic.

Statements D and E are also false because the increase in temperature would not benefit the marginalised communities. In fact such communities are severely affected by the climate change such as increase in temperature. The effect that climate change may produce to the marginalised community are decrease in agricultural productivity due to incresse in temperature. Increasing temperature causes the decrease growth of plants and thus their productivity too. Also the poor or marginalised
