Nothing, they’re the same thing
Climate refers to the seasons, and weather is sunshine, rain or snow
Weather refers to short-term conditions, and climate is the weather in a region over a long period of time
Nice try!

The Industrial Revolution
Climate change
Deforestation
Nice try!
The answer is climate change.
You got it!
Changes to daylight savings time
Growing mountain glaciers
Shifts in flower and plant blooming times
Fewer extreme weather events
Nice try!
Climate change causes plant and flower blooming times to shift. It also causes mountain glaciers to shrink, and more extreme weather events.

The carbon dioxide that exists in the Earth’s atmosphere
The amount of greenhouse gases that are generated by our actions
Sneakers made from carbon fibres
Nice try!
A carbon footprint refers to the amount of greenhouse gases that are generated by our actions.
You got it!
8.5 tCO2e
9.7 tCO2e
14.2 tCO2e
Nice try!
The average carbon footprint per person in Canada is 14.2 tonnes of CO2e. In Finland, it's 8.5 tCO2e, and in the UK it's 9.7 tCO2e.

Impose sanctions on countries with the highest carbon emissions
Limit global warming to well below 2, preferably 1.5 degrees Celsius
Nice try!
The Paris Agreement aims to limit global warming to well below 2, preferably 1.5 degrees Celsius, compared to pre-industrial levels.
You got it!
Compensating for emissions by reducing greenhouse gas emissions or increasing carbon storage
Blaming something else for your carbon footprint
When more carbon is produced than any other greenhouse gas
Nice try!
Carbon offsetting means balancing emissions by reducing greenhouse gas emissions or increasing carbon storage.
You got it!
It's a person who is indifferent to the impact of climate change
When carbon emitted is balanced by an equivalent amount being removed from the atmosphere
Nice try!
Carbon neutral means balancing emissions created by an equivalent amount being removed from the atmosphere.
You got it!
A person who believes we should all go green for the planet
The increasing concentration of greenhouse gas emissions in Earth's atmosphere
Going beyond achieving net-zero carbon emissions and creating an environmental benefit by removing additional CO2 from the atmosphere
Nice try!
Climate positive means going beyond achieving net-zero carbon emissions and creating an environmental benefit by removing additional CO2 from the atmosphere.
You got it!
Planting trees to sequester carbon
Driving an electric car
Installing wind turbines to generate renewable energy
Sustainable forest management and timber harvesting practices
Nice try!
Driving an electric car is not an example of a carbon offset project (but it is an activity that can reduce your transportation carbon footprint!).
You got it!
Materials and products are shared, reused, repaired, leased, refurbished and recycled for as long as possible to reduce waste
Materials are collected and transformed into products. They are used until they are discarded as waste
Nice try!
You chose the definition of a linear economy, where materials are discarded once they've been used.
You got it!
Beef burgers with cheese and bacon, served with a side of potatoes
A tofu stir-fry served with locally grown, seasonal vegetables
Farm-raised salmon with rice and steamed vegetables
Nice try!
Vegetarian or vegan options like tofu have a lower carbon footprint than meat or fish products, and locally-sourced, seasonal vegetables will have lower emissions than food that has been imported from abroad.
