Question 1 of 137

A climate scientist develops a presentation on modern climate change for a group of policymakers.
What observation does the scientist include in the presentation that provides evidence of human attribution to current climate change?
Answer

Suggested Answer

The suggested answer is A.

Atmospheric CO2 with isotopes consistent with fossil fuel emissions have increased since the mid-20th century. This observation directly links the rise in CO2 levels to the burning of fossil fuels, which is a human activity. This provides strong evidence of human attribution to current climate change.

Question 2 of 137

The risk team at an agricultural company in Easter Europe evaluates crop yield production performance. The evaluation reveals high temperature and water shortages will likely harm crop production, and current company insurance will not mitigate this exposure. The team recommends increasing coverage by purchasing an additional insurance policy that includes area yield protection.
According to the COSO ERM framework, which risk response strategy did the team recommend?
Answer

Suggested Answer

The suggested answer is B.

The risk team recommended a strategy of sharing the risk. By purchasing an additional insurance policy that includes area yield protection, the company is transferring a portion of the risk associated with high temperatures and water shortages to the insurance provider. This corresponds to the 'Sharing' risk response strategy in the COSO ERM framework, as insurance is a common method of risk sharing.

Question 3 of 137

A city planning commissioner consults with climate scientists to assess the impact of sea level rise on strategic infrastructure projects. The scientists discuss several climate model projections and indicate sea level rise has a fundamental relationship to GHG emissions, regardless of a specific warming scenario.
How should the scientists describe this relationship?
Answer

Suggested Answer

The suggested answer is B.

Sea level rise lags GHG emissions. This is because greenhouse gas emissions contribute to global warming, which in turn leads to the melting of polar ice caps and the thermal expansion of seawater. However, these processes take time, so the rise in sea levels occurs after the increase in GHG emissions.

Question 4 of 137

After recent summer and winter temperature extremes disrupt operations, a national oil company evaluates its 10-year business plan. The risk department reviews how corporate assets, both physical and human, are resilient to climate change. Early in the planning process, a risk team member emphasizes the importance of planning for both acute and chronic climate hazards.
How should the team member describe acute and chronic hazards in terms of the 10-year strategy?
Answer

Suggested Answer

The suggested answer is C.

In terms of a 10-year strategy, acute hazards refer to sudden, extreme events like hurricanes, which can cause immediate and severe impacts on operations. Chronic hazards involve gradual changes over time, such as sea level rise. Option C correctly distinguishes between these two types of hazards: models for hurricane damage (acute) are generally more reliable and agreed upon than those for sea level rise (chronic), appropriately emphasizing the consideration of both short-term and long-term impacts in the company's strategy. Therefore, Option C provides the most accurate description relevant to the question.
