Question 61 2.1 pts Which of these contributes significantly to the greenhouse effect and to global warming? the release of chlorine from industrial processes. decomposition of waste. the purchase of heavy, high profile vehicles that have poor gas mileage. restricting destruction of forests. pumping large quantities of sulfur-containing gases into the atmosphere. * Previous Next >

Answer 1

the answe would be option (c) , i.e. the purchase of heavy, high profile vehicles that have poor gas mileage

the reason is that all vehicles running on gas release carbon monoxide, which is a greenhouse gas resulting in greenhouse effect and global warming. so, high profile vehicles release CO in large quantities which result in depletion of ozone causing greenhouse effect and thus global warming.
