Which term refers to the environmental impact measured by CO2 produced by activities?

• A. Carbon footprint
• B. Global warming
• C. Eyesore
• D. Rubbish dump

Answer: (A)

Carbon footprint is a way to quantify how much greenhouse gas is released by what you do, expressed in CO2 terms. It adds up emissions from energy use, transportation, food, and goods and services, usually converted to CO2-equivalents so different greenhouse gases are comparable. This helps individuals and organizations see where to cut emissions, like using energy more efficiently, choosing lower-emission transport, or opting for renewable energy. Global warming is the broader long-term increase in Earth's average temperature, not a direct measurement of activity-based emissions. An eyesore and rubbish dump refer to appearance or waste sites, not the emissions produced by activities.
