Try these on for size:
* "Global climate change has varying theories of prediction". Really? GCC can theorise? And it's clairvoyant; being able to predict and all.
* When carbon is assimilated by plants into complex organic carbon compounds we can refer to this C as being "sunken" and the process is therefore "C sinkage". (Referring to C sinks and sources of course).
* In a question about how animal behaviour, physiology and distribution could be affected by elevated CO2 and the resultant increase in ambient temperatures, one response started: "Insect and plant physiology is affected by CO2 in the following ways..."
* A question required students to outline how biodiversity changes, as a result of global change, will affect the goods and services delivered by ecosystems to humans. This is possibly my favourite faux pas: "Ecosystems provide many cultural goods such as dyes and recreational drugs used in both religious and social ways". Talk about over-share! And pray tell, under what sorting system are dyes and drugs similar?
