45、cted to get larger with increased carbon dioxide in atmosphere, but changes in temperature, humidity and nutrient availability seem to trumped the benefits of increased carbon dioxide, ” said researchers from the National University of Singapore.45 percent of the species studied now reach smaller ad

46、ult sizes than they did in the past. The researchers pointed out that warmer temperatures and changing habitats, caused by climate change, are possible reasons for shrinking creatures.“We do not yet know the mechanisms involved, or why some organism are getting smaller while others are unaffected, ”

47、 the researchers said. “Until we understand more, we could be risking negative consequences that we can t yet quantify. ”The change was big in cold-blooded animals. Only two decades of warmer temperatures were enough to make reptiles smaller. An increase of 1 degree centigrade caused nearly a 10 per

48、cent increase in metabolism（ 新陈代谢）. Greater use of energy resulted in tiny tortoises andlittle lizards. Fish are smaller now too. Though overfishing has played a part in reducing numbers, experiments show that warmer temperatures also stop fish growth. There is a recent report on warmer temperatures

49、 negative effects on plankton, the base of the marine ecosystem.Warm-blooded animals werent immune from the size change caused by climate change. Many birds are now smaller. Mammals have been miniaturized too. Soay sheep are thinner. Red deer are weaker. And polar bears are smaller, compared with hi

50、storical records.This is not the first time this has happened in Earth s history. 55 million years ago, a warming event similar to the current climate change caused bees, spiders and ants to shrink by 50 to 75 percent over several thousand years. That event happened over a long time than the current

51、 climate change.The speed of modem climate change could mean organisms may not respond or adapt quickly enough, especially those with long generation times. So, it is likely that more negative influences of climate change will be shown in future.The best title for the passage is .Why do some species

52、 become smaller?Species become smaller with the climate getting warms.How does temperature change in Earth s history?Climate change has many negative effects.Researchers from the National University of Singapore believe .all the animals on the earth have become smallertoo many studies on animals siz

53、e have been donehow climate change effects animals size has not been found clearlypeople can avoid the negative effects of climate change 65.The passage implies .Bird have suffered more from climate change than fishAnts, bees and spiders have been shrinking by 50% to 70% in the past decadeA warming

54、event causing species to become smaller has never happened beforeClimate change has even a negative impact on plankton.The author s attitude to climate change in the passage is .A. indifferentB. optimisticC. worriedD.confidentDRecently, we have already shown that climate change has led to a dramatic

55、 increase in storm surge risk in New York City, making devastating events like Hurricane Sandy more likely.What can we say about the role of climate change in the unprecedented disaster that is unfolding in Houston with Hurricane Harvey? There are certain climate change-related factors that we can,

56、with great confidence, say worsened the flooding.Sea Level rise attributable to climate change-some of which is due to coastal subsidence( 下 沉 ) caused by human disturbance such as oil drilling-is more than half a foot(15cm) over the past few decades. That means the storm surge was half a foot highe

57、r than it would have been just decades ago, meaning far more flooding and destruction.In addition to that, sea surface temperatures in the region have risen about 0.5C(close to 1F) over the past few decades from roughly 30C(86F) to 30.5C(87F), which contributed to the very warm sea surface temperatu

58、res(30.5-31C, or 87-88F). There is a simple thermodynamic( 热力学 的 ) relationship known as the Clausius-Clapeyron equation that tells us there is a roughly 3% increase in average atmospheric moisture content for each 0.5C of warming. Sea surface temperatures in the area where Harvey intensified were 0

59、.5-1C warmer than current-day average temperatures, which translates to 1-1.5C warmer than “average” temperatures a few decades ago. That means 3-5% more moisture( 水分 ) in the atmosphere. That large amount of moisture creates the potential for much greater rainfalls and greater flooding. The combina

60、tion of coastal flooding and heavy rainfall is responsible for the devastating flooding that Houston is experiencing.Not only are the surface waters of the Gulf of Mexico unusually warm right now, but there is a deep layer of warm water that Harvey was able to feed upon when it intensified at near r
