Question 17-20: Read and choose the correct answer
CLIMATE CHANGE
Climate change (or global warming) is the process of our planet heating up. Earth has warmed by an average of 10C
in the last century, and although that might not sound like much, it means big things for people and wildlife around
the globe. Unfortunately, rising temperature don’t just mean that we’ll get nicer weather- if only! The changing
climate will actually make our weather more extreme and unpredictable.
As temperature rise, some areas will get wetter and lots of animals (and humans) could find they are not able to
adapt to their changing climate. What cause climate change?
1. Burning fossil fuels
Over the past 150 years, industrialized countries have been burning large amounts of fossil fuels such as oil and gas.
The gases released into the atmosphere during this process act like an invisible “blanket”, trapping heat from the sun
and warming Earth. This is known as the “greenhouse effect”
2. Farming
Believe or not, cow’s eating habits contribute towards greenhouse gases. Just like us, when cows eat, methane gas
builds up their digestive system and is released in the form of a fart! This might sound funny, but when you imagine
that there are about 1.5 billion cows releasing all that gas into the atmosphere, it sure adds up!
3. Deforestation
Forest absorb huge amounts of carbon dioxide- a greenhouse gas- from the air, and release oxygen back into it. The
Amazon rainforest is so large and efficient at doing this that it is often called “the lungs of the earth”. Sadly, many
rainforests are being cut down to make wood and palm oil, and to clear the way for farmland, roads, oil mines and
dams.
How will climate change affect the planet?
Earth has had many tropical climates and ice ages over the billions of years that it has been in existence, so
why is now so different? Well, this is because for the last 150 years, human activity has meant we are releasing a
huge amount of harmful gases into Earth’s atmosphere, and records show that global temperatures are rising more
rapidly since this time
17. What is climate change?
18. How does climate change affect the weather?
19. What are the three factors that cause climate change?
20. What have human beings done for the last 150 years?

CLIMATE CHANGE AND GLOBAL WARMING

Climate change

Climate change, also called global warming, refers to the rise in average surface temperatures on Earth. An overwhelming scientific consensus maintains that climate change is due primarily to the human use of fossil fuels, which releases carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases into the air. The gases trap heat within the atmosphere, which can have a range of effects on ecosystems, including rising sea levels, severe weather events, and droughts that render landscapes more susceptible to wildfires.

The green house effect

While other planets in Earth's solar system are either scorching hot or bitterly old, Earth's surface has relatively mild, stable temperatures. Earth enjoys these temperatures because of its atmosphere, which is the thin layer of gases that cloak and protect the planet. However, 97 percent of climate scientists agree that humans have changed Earth's atmosphere in dramatic ways over the past two centuries, resulting in global warming The exchange of incoming and outgoing radiation that warms the Earth is often referred to as the greenhouse effect because a greenhouse works in much the same way. Incoming UV radiation easily passes through the glass walls of a greenhouse and is absorbed by the plants and hard surfaces inside. Weaker IR radiation, however, has difficulty passing through the glass walls and is trapped inside, thus warming the greenhouse. This effect lets tropical plants thrive inside a greenhouse, even during a cold winter.

Consequences of global warming

There are two major effects of global warming: the increase of temperature on the earth by about 30 to 50C (5.40 to 90Fahrenheit) by the year 2100 are Rise of sea levels by at least 25 meters (82 feet) by the year 2100. Other consequences are listed below:

• Sea levels are rising due to thermal expansion of the ocean, in addition to melting of land ice.

• Amounts and patterns of precipitation are changing.

• The total annual power of hurricanes has already increased markedly since 1975 because their average intensity and average duration have increased.

• Changes in temperature and precipitation patterns increase the frequency, duration, and intensity of other extreme weather events, such as floods, droughts heat waves, and tornadoes.

• Higher or lower agricultural yields, further glacial retreat, reduced summer stream flows, species extinctions.

• Diseases like malaria are returning into areas where they have been extinguished earlier

Circle the correct answers

l. Climate change is the rise in average surface temperatures on Earth.

a. true b. false

2.Climate change observed in the last decades is natural.

a. true b. false

3. Fossil fuels are burnt which releases carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases into the air.

a. true b. false

4. Greenhouse effects have no impacts on our health.

          Experts in climatology and other scientists are becoming extremely concerned about the changes to our climate which are taking place. Admittedly, climate changes have occurred on our planet before. For example, there have been several ice ages or glacial periods.
          These climatic changes, however, were different from the modern ones in that they occurred gradually and, as far as we know, naturally. The changes currently being monitored are said to be the result not of natural causes, but of human activity. Furthermore, the rate of change is becoming alarmingly rapid.
          The major problem is that the planet appears to be warming up. According to some experts, this warming process, known as global warming, is occurring at a rate unprecedented in the last 10,000 years. The implications for the planet are very serious. Rising global temperatures could give rise to such ecological disasters as extremely high increases in the incidence of flooding and of droughts. These in turn could have a harmful effect on agriculture.
          It is thought that this unusual warming of the Earth has been caused by so-called greenhouse gases, such as carbon dioxide, being emitted into the atmosphere by car engines and modern industrial processes, for example. Such gases not only add to the pollution of the atmosphere, but also create a greenhouse effect, by which the heat of the sun is trapped. This leads to the warming up of the planet.
          Politicians are also concerned about climate change and there are now regular summits on the subject, attended by representatives from around 180 of the world’s industrialized countries. Of these summits, the most important took place in Kyotoin Japanin 1997. There it was agreed that the most industrialized countries would try to reduce the volume of greenhouse gas emissions and were given targets for this reduction of emissions.
          It was also suggested that more forests should be planted to create so-called sinks to absorb greenhouse gases. At least part of the problem of rapid climate change has been caused by too drastic deforestation.
          Sadly, the targets are not being met. Even more sadly, global warnings about climate changes are often still being regarded as scaremongering

Greenhouse gases cause the warming up of the Earth because they _______.

A. are emitted by car engines

B. trap heat from the sun

C. do not add to atmosphere pollution
