CIPS L3M5 Exam - Topic 1 Question 24 Discussion

Actual exam question for CIPS's L3M5 exam

Question #: 24
Topic #: 1

In 2014, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change warned that sea levels might rise to what extent by the year 2099?

AHalf a metre

BThree metres

COne metre

DTwo metres

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: C

UNFCCC.

United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change.

I guess, having re-visited this QUESTION NO : in 2022, originally written in 2020, the 'CC' at the end of the possible answers, reduces the risk of people selecting a wrong answer.

Doesn't work for 'MCC' though as that stands for 'Marylebone Cricket Club' which was founded in 1787, and is 'the guardian of the laws of cricket'. (Source: MCC)

I'm a bit unsure on this one. I'll have to review my notes and see if I can recall the IPCC's estimates for sea level rise by 2099.
