Global warming is a great (danger/ possibility/opportunity). On the one hand, lots of problems come from nature itself: volcanic (explosions/avalanches/eruptions), gas emission because of the ocean «breathing», solar activity changes, etc. But on the other hand, human beings also have their negative impact: burning coal, pumping out oil and gas. As a result, the landscape has been changing a lot over the last hundred years. The problem has been getting worse because of (growing/ chopping/ cutting down) trees for (clearing/ cleaning/ peeling) the space for new buildings: office skyscrapers, houses and shopping centres. Why is global warming so dangerous? The oceans and seas are getting warmer, so ice caps are (melting/ sliding/ rising). As a result, the level of water is changing, and people are suffering from floods. Droughts prevent people from growing crops and can definitely lead to (famine/ homelessness /war).Increasing CO₂ (carbon dioxide) concentration in the atmosphere causes the greenhouse (affect/ effect/ impact), which has a lot of consequences too. Firstly, it can lead to holes in the ozone (background/ level/ layer), which are a great (cause/ source/basis) of radiation, harmful and dangerous for human beings. Secondly, uncontrolled (weather/ forecast/ climate) change can destroy the fauna balance. Plenty of animals and plants could become (extinct/endangered/ died) forever. Both flora and fauna are in danger, and only people are able to stop the catastrophe.

If you’re having an outdoor party or a picnic, you don’t want a storm to ruin it for you. In the same way, if you’re a farmer, you need the sun to shine and the rain to pour at the right time for the best crops. 1 C So imagine a world in which we could control the weather! Well, some scientists believe that they can do just that!
One way to control the weather that scientists have already used is ‘cloud seeding’. 2 A This involves firing a rocket containing silver iodide into a cloud. When you do this, drops of water in the clouds attach to the particles to make raindrops. Believe it or not, in China there is a «Weather Modification Office» that often uses cloud seeding! 3 E It claims that it has stopped hailstorms, ended droughts and even put out fires. In 2008, it used 1,104 cloud-seeding rockets to keep the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games dry. It ‘seeded’ the clouds before they got to Beijing, so it didn’t rain on the athletes. In other places, scientists have also ‘seeded’ clouds with dry ice to get rid of fog at airports. 4 D Cloud-seeding can go wrong, though! In 2009, Cheenese meteorologists were trying to create rain during a drought when a cold front arrived and turned the rain into a heavy snowstorm. Beijing froze and there was chaos on the roads!
Some scientists don’t believe that we can really control the weather, but others think that in the future, we will be able to control it with ‘nanobots’ ormicroscopic robots. These nanobots could make changes in the atmosphere and stop storms before they form. 5 B If this works, it will reduce the number of natural disasters like hurricanes and floods. Until then, though, we’ll have to keep an eye on the weather report and take an umbrella to our picnics, just in case!
Если вы устраиваете вечеринку на открытом воздухе или пикник, вы не хотите, чтобы шторм испортил вам всё. Точно так же, если вы фермер, вам нужно, чтобы солнце сияло, а дождь лил в нужное время для лучшего урожая. Так представьте себе мир, в котором мы могли бы управлять погодой! Ну, некоторые учёные считают, что они могут сделать именно это!
Один из способов управления погодой, который учёные уже использовали, — это «посев облаков». Это включает в себя запуск ракеты, содержащей йодид серебра, в облако. Когда вы делаете это, капли воды в облаках прикрепляются к частицам, образуя капли дождя. Хотите верьте, хотите нет, но в Китае есть «Офис по изменению погоды», который часто использует облачный посев! Он утверждает, что прекратил ливни с градом, прекратил засухи и даже потушил пожары. В 2008 году она использовала 1104 ракеты для засева облаков, чтобы сохранить церемонию открытия Олимпийских игр сухой. Он «посеял» облака до того, как они добрались до Пекина, поэтому на спортсменов не шёл дождь. В других местах учёные также «засеяли» облака сухим льдом, чтобы избавиться от тумана в аэропортах. Однако посев облаков может пойти не так! В 2009 году китайские метеорологи пытались создать дождь во время засухи, когда пришёл холодный фронт и превратил дождь в сильную метель. Пекин замер, и на дорогах царил хаос!
Некоторые учёные не верят, что мы действительно можем контролировать погоду, но другие считают, что в будущем мы сможем управлять ею с помощью «наноботов» или микроскопических роботов. Эти наноботы могли бы вносить изменения в атмосферу и останавливать штормы до того, как они сформируются. Если это сработает, это уменьшит количество стихийных бедствий, таких как ураганы и наводнения. Но до тех пор нам придётся следить за прогнозом погоды и брать с собой зонт на пикники, на всякий случай!
