Task 2
Global Warming
Climate is the pattern of weather over the long term. The climate has always changed, getting
warmer and cooler over years. Though climate change isn't new, the speed with which the climate is
changing is. Global warming is a term used to describe the increase in average global temperatures due to the
greenhouse effect. But what is that?
Scientists generally agree that the Earth's surface has
warmed by about one degree Fahrenheit
in the past 140 years. That might not sound like much, but it has definitely
impacted the earth. Scientists also think the rate at which the earth is heating up is increasing. The greenhouse effect is what scientists
believe is causing the sharp increase in global temperatures. The earth's atmosphere traps solar
radiation, caused by the presence of gases
such as carbon dioxide, water vapor, and methane (from pollution) in the atmosphere, which allows incoming sunlight to
pass through it but won't allow the heat to escape back out (like in a
greenhouse).
Climate change can negatively
affect the earth's delicate ecosystems. Global warming has been linked to dying
coral reefs, dangerous new weather patterns
and the extinction of plant and
animal species. Reducing pollution helps to reduce global warming. Here are a
few ideas: Walk to school
instead of getting the 'rents to drive you, don't use too much electricity. Use energy compact fluorescent light bulbs, turn off the
lights when you leave a room, and don't leave the TV on when you're not using
it, tell your parents what you know about global warming. It's important that
they know as much as you do so they can vote for politicians who care about the environment, recycle, Plant
trees. Trees help to combat pollution by
absorbing carbon dioxide from
the air.

warming, and then think of the effects. To do this, ask yourself why? as you
list the causes. Then ask yourself what is the result of this? as you list the
effects.
