1. Nội dung câu hỏi

According to Lynas, what can we do to save our planet?

a. change our eating habits

b. burn less fossil fuel

c. consume less water

In his book Six Degrees, Mark Lynas describes what will happen when
Earth's temperatures increase up to six degrees.

With a four-degree temperature increase, all of the Arctic ice will melt and disappear, for the first time in three million years. This means that polar bears and other mammals could die out.

If temperatures increase by five degrees, the ice in Antarctica will melt more rapidly. In other words, in several thousand years, the ice in both the South and the North Poles will change to water. Also, ocean temperatures could rise, which could wipe out coral reefs.

At a six-degree temperature rise, sea levels will rise up to two meters, threatening all major cities near the coast. Humans may survive, but many other species on Earth could face extinction.

Global warming is a serious problem, but by changing our fossil fuel dependent lifestyle, we can save our planet before it is too late.

3. Lời giải chi tiết

Based on the information provided, the answer is b. burn less fossil fuel.

The passage explicitly states that "by changing our fossil fuel dependent lifestyle, we can save our planet before it's too late." While the text doesn't mention changing eating habits or consuming less water directly in the context of saving the planet, reducing our reliance on fossil fuels is highlighted as a potential solution.
