49、it helps convey the fact that there are other changes in addition to rising temperatures.Climate change refers to any significant change in measures of climate (such as temperature, precipitation, or wind) lasting for an extended period (decades or longer). Climate change may result from:natural fac

50、tors, such as changes in the suns intensity or slow changes in the Earths orbit around the sun;natural processes within the climate system (e.g. changes in ocean circulation);human activities that change the atmospheres composition (e.g. through burning fossil fuels) and the land surface (e.g. defor

51、estation, reforestation, urbanization, desertification, etc.)新编实用英语综合教程1第四版Unit5Global warming is an average increase in the temperature of the atmosphere near the Earths surface and in the troposphere, which can contribute to changes in global climate patterns. Global warming can occur from a varie

52、ty of causes, both natural and human induced. In common usage, “global warming” often refers to the warming that can occur as a result of increased emissions of greenhouse gases from human activities.Greenhouse Gases:For over the past 200 years, the burning of fossil fuels, such as coal and oil, and

53、 deforestation have caused the concentrations of heat-trapping “greenhouse gases” to increase significantly in our atmosphere. These gases prevent heat from escaping to space, somewhat like the glass panels of a greenhouse.新编实用英语综合教程1第四版Unit5BackGreenhouse gases are necessary to life as we know it,

54、because they keep the planets surface warmer than it otherwise would be. But, as the concentrations of these gases continue to increase in the atmosphere, the Earths temperature is climbing above past levels. According to NOAA and NASA data, the Earths average surface temperature has increased by ab

Most of the warming in recent decades is very likely the result of human activities. Other aspects of the climate are also changing such as rainfall p

56、atterns, snow and ice cover, and the sea level. Scientists are certain that human activities are changing the composition of the atmosphere, and that increasing the concentration of greenhouse gases will change the planets climate. But they are not sure by how much it will change, at what rate it wi

If we try, most of us can do our part to reduce the amount of greenhouse gases that we put into the atmosphere. Many greenhouse gases

58、 come from things we do every day. As we have learned, these greenhouse gases trap energy in the atmosphere and make the Earth warmer. Driving a car or using electricity is not wrong. We just have to be smart about it. Some people use less energy by carpooling. For example, four people can ride toge

59、ther in one car instead of driving four cars to work. Why not try to do something to help make the planet a better place? Save Electricity Whenever we use electricity, we put greenhouse gases into the air. By turning off lights, the television, and the computer when you are through with them, you ca
