Prelims Practice MCQs
Consider the following statements regarding IPCC's Reports: 1. The IPCC's reports are prepared by scientists from around the world. 2. The IPCC's reports are expected to be prepared by 2025. 3. The IPCC's reports are used by governments and policymakers around the world to inform their decisions on climate change. How many of the above statements are correct?
Statement 1 is true because it is explicitly mentioned in fact #4. Statement 2 is false because it contradicts fact #5, which states that the reports are expected to be prepared by 2028. Statement 3 is true because it is explicitly mentioned in fact #9.
Consider the following two statements: Statement-I: The IPCC's reports are expected to ensure scientists from less-resourced countries can make meaningful contributions. Statement-II: This is because the IPCC is based in Geneva, Switzerland, and has a global reach. Which one of the following is correct in respect of the above statements?
Statement 1 is true because it is explicitly mentioned in fact #3. Statement 2 is false because it is not a causal explanation for Statement 1; the fact that the IPCC is based in Geneva, Switzerland, does not explain why the reports are expected to be more inclusive of scientists from less-resourced countries.
