The
80’s of the previous century were the earth’s warmest decade
since records began, according to scientists at the Meteorological
office and the University of East Anglia.

The
finding provides strong evidence that global warming caused by human
activity is already underway, as predicted by theory. But scientists
warn that it cannot be regarded as conclusive proof.

Phil
Jones, senior researcher at the University of East Anglia, said:”I
think the greenhouse effect is the most likely cause, and I think the
great majority of climatologists would now agree.

If
we are changing the climate, it is much easier to do something now
rather than waiting until the warming is more severe.”

Since
1900, average temperatures have risen by about 0.5 degrees C. The
culprits(виновники)
are carbon dioxide gas, produced by the burning of fossil
fuels(органическое
топливо)
and forests, and pollutants such as methane and chlorofluorocarbons.

Climatologists
predict that by the middle of the 21^st
century temperatures may have risen by as much as 4 degrees C.
Happening so quickly, that could catastrophically reduce mankind’s
ability to grow food, destroy or severely damage what wildlife
remained and raise sea levels, flooding coastal cities and farmland.

1. What
   job does Phil Jones do?

2. Where
   does he work?

3. Which
   ten years have been the hottest since records began?

4. What
   is the most likely cause of global warming?

5. How
   much has the average global temperature risen since 1900?

6. By
   how much might average temperatures have risen by the middle of the
   21^st
   century?

7. What
   might happen to the world if temperatures do rise dramatically over
   the 21^st
   century?

8. What
   products of human activity are mainly responsible for the warming up
   of the globe?

1. Read
   the text, try to understand it without a dictionary, a) explain the
   title, b) entitle its paragraphs, c) make a list of all the
   predictions about the future. Do you agree with them? Say if there
   is a way out of this situation.

Continuous; examples of the Passive Voice and Conditionals (name
their types)

The Amazon forest and the future of the world

The
Amazon forest, in Brazil, covers five million square kilometers –
an area as big as the whole of Europe excluding Russia. It contains
one third of the whole trees.

However,
the trees are disappearing. Nearly half of the forest was cut down in
the previous century. If the destruction of the forest continues at
the same rate, there will be nothing left in the following decade.

Scientists
say that there are a lot of changes in the climate because of the
disappearance of trees. In Peru, there is less snow than before on
the high peaks of the Andes Mountains. In Bolivia, there is less rain
than before and more wind. In some parts of North-East Brazil there
is now very little rain.

What
will happen, if more of the Amazon forests are cut down? According to
climatologists, two things are likely to happen: there will be
serious effects on the world’s climate, and the air that we breathe
will lose some of its oxygen. Why is this?

Trees
absorb the gas carbon dioxide from the air and give out oxygen into
the air. The trees of the Amazon rain forest are chemically very
active, and some scientists believe that they provide 50% of the
world’s annual production of oxygen. If we lose the tropical
forests, the air will contain much less oxygen and much more carbon
dioxide. It will become difficult – perhaps even impossible – to
breathe.

With
more carbon dioxide in the air, the temperature will rise; the
ice-caps at the North and South Poles will melt; the sea level will
rise, and many coastal cities will be flooded.

Scientists
do not agree about exact figures. But all of them agree that if we
destroy the Amazon forest it will be environmental suicide – like
losing an ocean. Life on Earth will become different, and it may
become impossible.
