Advocates of a “no-regrets” attitude toward climate change and increased levels of air and water pollution recommend adapting to such developments rather than attempting to halt or reverse them. Which of the following policies might an advocate of a strict “no-regrets” approach recommend?

Explanation

Exploiting resources on the Moon is probably the ultimate adaptation strategy, since it does not depend at all on what occurs here on Earth in terms of climate change. Each of the other four policies seeks to slow or halt pollution or climate change.

Erosion is the movement of rock and soil on the surface of the Earth, generally by a natural process. Which activity is most likely to create a condition conducive to erosion?
During the process of osmosis, a solvent such as water passes through a membrane to dilute a stronger concentration of the solution until concentrations on both sides are the same. Osmosis allows for—and regulates the amount of—water and the nutrients dissolved in that water to pass through the cell membranes of a plant’s roots. The following illustration shows a semi-permeable membrane separating one concentration of a water-sugar solution from another.

Reproductive cloning is the asexual reproduction of an entirely new multicellular organism that is genetically identical to another. The clone is produced by transferring the genetic material from the nucleus of a diploid cell into an egg whose nucleus, and thus its genetic material, has been removed. The new organism is identical to another because it carries the DNA of only a single fertilized cell. In other words, it has just one parent. Cloning has been used for thousands of years in cultivating plants. Recently developed technologies have made the cloning of animals not just a possibility but a reality.

Recently developed cloning technologies might be applied toward achieving any of the following objectives EXCEPT which one?
