1)Climate change related changes in precipitation are predicted to

2. A stabilization wedge is

3. T or F: As long as we do not increase our annual global CO2 emissions, the average global temperature is predicted to increase by 2*C or less

4. T or F: A C increase in mean global temperature would result in low to moderate risk across most sectors.

5. The most important factor in the mitigation of climate change is

6. Global warming is

7. A major factor in the risk of extinction of plant species is that

8. Continuing on our current path of CO2 emissions would result in mean global temperature increase by 2100 (relative to about 1880) of about

9. T or F: An increase in global mean temperature of less than 2*C means no region sees an increase of temperature greater than 2*C.

10. Climate change is predicted to

11. In order to keep average warming to less 2*C

12. Predicted temperature increase is
