Since the pre-industrial period, global average land temperatures have increased almost twice as fast as global average surface temperatures. This may primarily be due to:
| 1. | Higher ocean area than land area receiving more incident solar radiation |
| 2. | High heat capacity of water |
| 3. | Industries being located on land |
| 4. | Burning of fossil fuels by automobiles on the land |

Burying radioactive wastes is not acceptable to many people as:
1. there is a risk of groundwater contamination
2. it may explode

4. it may get accumulated in vegetations
Consider the following statements:
| I: | Freshwater algal blooms, the result of an excess of nutrients [particularly phosphates] cause large scale fish mortality. |
| II: | Algae grow very quickly under high nutrient availability, but each alga is short-lived, and the result is a high concentration of dead organic matter, the decay of which consumes dissolved oxygen in the water, resulting in hypoxic conditions. |
