About this topic
Environmental literacy is mostly a matter of knowing a handful of mechanisms well. This quiz covers them: the composition of the atmosphere, how greenhouse gases trap heat, what photosynthesis exchanges, and the difference between renewable and fossil energy. It includes the headline international agreements as historical facts. The explanations describe the physical process and stay clear of policy debate, which is a separate discussion from the science underneath it.
