Question

Consider the following statements:
1. Kyoto Protocol came into force in the year 2005.
2. Kyoto Protocol deals primarily with the depletion of the Ozone layer.
3. Methane as a greenhouse gas is more harmful than carbon dioxide.
Which of the statements is/are correct?

Accepted Answer

The correct answer is B because statements 1 and 3 are factual while statement 2 is incorrect.

Statement 1 is correct because although the Kyoto Protocol was adopted in 1997, it officially came into force on February 16, 2005, after being ratified by enough nations.

Statement 2 is incorrect because the Kyoto Protocol deals with reducing greenhouse gas emissions to combat global warming. The depletion of the ozone layer is addressed by the Montreal Protocol.

Statement 3 is correct because methane has a much higher global warming potential than carbon dioxide. Over a 100 year period, methane is roughly 25 to 28 times more effective at trapping heat in the atmosphere than carbon dioxide, making it more harmful in terms of its warming impact per unit.
