Chapter 3

Energy Transition

3.1 

The Earth is heating up!

How can people know that the Earth is heating up?

1. With a thermometer
2. Because the air gets more moist
3. Because the ice melts
4. Because people can feel it

What is a consequence of the Earth warming up?

1. Climate disappear
2. Climates shift from South to North
3. The seasons disappear
4. It will get colder in The Netherlands

3.2 

The transition to sustainable energy sources

What is a traditional energy source?

1. Coal
2. Solar power
3. Biomass
4. Nuclear energy

How can we see that the carbon footprint per capita has risen in the last few decades?

1. Taking accurate measures on Hawaii
2. Studying air bubbles in the ice of Antartica
3. Humans can smell this
4. Because humans are more wealthy

Why are the traditional energy sources not sustainable

1. They emit lots of methane
2. They emit lots of hydrogen
3. They emit lots of carbondioxide
4. They emit lots of radioactive particles

What is the conventional way of mining?

1. Mining with old fashioned
2. Mining with new tactics

3.3

The battle against climate change

What is one of the most important sustainable energy sources

1. Hydrogen
2. Nuclear energy
3. Biogas
4. Windenergy

Why are sustainable energy sources not always handy

1. They are not always there
2. They are too expensive
3. They are hard to get in the stores
4. They are not handy to use

How can you lower you carbon footprint?

1. Take less showers
2. Go to school more often
3. Take less bathroom visits
4. Eating at home instead of going out

Why do climate experts doubt the goals of the Treaty of Paris?

1. They are too expensive
2. Not everyone does there part
3. Climate change is going too fast
4. The poor countries do not have to meet the goals

3.4

Climate change in Europe

What is a consequence of the Europe warming up?

1. More insects from Africa move to Europe
2. More diseases from Africa move to Europe
3. More immigrants from Africa move to Europe
4. None of the above

What is a measure against global warming in Europe?

1. Renovation old coal powerplants into new tourist attractions
2. Removing the chemical industry from Europe
3. 27% of all the energy must be renewable in 2030
4. All the energy must be renewable in 2050

What can happen to an area such as Southern Italy when climate change becomes stronger?

1. The area will lose its inhabitants
2. The area will dry up
3. The area will turn into a jungle
4. The area will have more floods

3.5

Reducing CO2 emmissions in the Netherlands

How is it that The Netherlands had a high emission for a long time?

1. Lots of wealthy people
2. Lots of greenhouses and intensive horticulture
3. Because of the large chemical industry
4. Because of the mining of coal in Limburg

Is a windmill park in Southern-Limburg a good idea?

1. Of course, lots of room over there
2. Of course, its good for the economy
3. No, the people do not want it over there
4. No, there is not enough wind in South-Limburg
