34、nd future climate. Just beyond the northwest edge of the vast Greenland Ice Sheet, researchers have discovered lake mud that have survived the last ice age. The mud, and remains of common flies in it, record two interglacial periods（间冰期）in northwest Greenland.Although researchers have long known the

35、se two periodsthe early Holocene and Last Interglacialexperienced warming in the Arctic, the mix of fly species shows that Greenland was even warmer than previously thought. “As far as we know, it has never been found in Greenland. We think this is the first time anyone has reported it in ancient de

36、posits or modern lakes there,” Axford said. “We were really surprised to see how far north it migrated (迁徙).”This new information could help researchers better measure Greenlands sensitivity to warming, by testing and improving models of climate and ice sheet behaviour. Those models could then impro

37、ve predictions of how Greenlands ice sheet might respond to man-made global warming. After all, Greenland covers 80 per cent of the Arctic country and holds enough ice to equal 20 feet of global sea level. “Northwest Greenland might feel really remote, but what happens to that ice sheet is going to

38、matter to everyone in every coastal city around the world,” said Yarrow Axford, an associate professor in the team. “One of the big uncertainties in climate science is how fast the Earth changes when it gets warmer. Geology gives us an opportunity to see what happened when the Earth was warmer than

39、today,” said Axford.People might be surprised to see how todays Greenland looked during the last two interglacial periods. During the Last Interglacial, global sea levels increased by 15 to 30 feet, largely due to thinning of Greenland and Antarcticas ice sheets. However, now researchers believe nor

40、thern Greenlands ice sheet experienced stronger warming than previously thought, which could mean that Greenland is more responsible for that sea-level rise.Finding lake deposits older than about 10,000 years, however, has been historically very difficult in Greenland. To measure these ancient tempe

41、ratures, researchers look to ice cores ( 冰核) and lake deposits. Since ice and lake deposits form by a gradual buildup on annual layers of snow or mud, these cores contain history of the past. By looking through the layers, researchers can obtain climate clues from centuries ago.Why are the remains o

45、isastersNorthwest Greenland, A Perfect DestinationCWhile fossil fuels coal, oil, gas still produce roughly 85 percent of the worlds energy supply, its clearer than ever that the future belongs to renewable sources such as wind and solar. The move to renewables is picking up the development around th

46、e world: They now account for more than half of new power sources going in operation.Some growth stems from a commitment by governments and farsighted businesses to fund cleaner energy sources. But increasingly the story is about the falling prices of renewables, especially wind and solar. The cost

47、of solar panels has dropped by 80 percent and the cost of wind turbines（涡轮机）by close to one-third in the past eight years.In many parts of the world renewable energy is already an important energy source. In Scotland, for example, wind turbines provide enough electricity to power 95 percent of homes

48、. While the rest of the world takes the lead, especially China and Europe, the United States is also seeing an amazing shift. In March, for the first time, wind and solar power accounted for more than 10 percent of the power generated in the US, reported the US Energy Information Administration.Pres

49、ident Trump has underlined fossil fuels especially coal as the path to economic growth. In a recent speech in Iowa, he dismissed wind power as an unreliable energy source. But that message did not play well with many in Iowa, where wind turbines dot the fields and provide 36 percent of the states el

But an increase in the storage ca

51、pacity of batteries is making their ability to keep power flowing around the clock more likely.The advance is driven in part by vehicle manufacturers, who are placing big bets on battery-powered electric vehicles. Although electric cars are still uncommon on roads now, this massive investment could

52、change the picture rapidly in coming years.While theres a long way to go, the trend lines for renewables are zooming. The pace of change in energy sources appears to be speeding up perhaps just in time to have a meaningful effect in slowing climate change. What Washington does or doesnt do to promot

While private spending on education has not changed much in the rich world i

57、n the past ten years, in China and India it has more than doubled. Since brainpower is the primary generator of progress, this burst of enthusiasm for investing in private education is excellent news for the world. But not everybody is delighted. Because private education increases inequality, some

58、governments are trying to stop its advance. Thats wrong: they should welcome it and spread its benefits more widely. Education used to be provided by religious institutions or entrepreneurs. But when governments, starting in Prussia in the 18th century, got into the business of nation-building, they realized they could use education to shap
