Look at the pictures to get ideas.Traffic Jam Factory The greenhouse effect is the rise in temperature that the Earth experiences because certain gases in the atmosphere (water vapor, carbon dioxide, nitrous oxide, and methane, for example) trap energy from the sun. Without these gases, heat would escape back into space and Earth’s average temperature would be about 60oF colder. Because of how they warm our world, these gases are referred to as greenhouse gases. The Greenhouse EffectThe Greenhouse Effect Without this greenhouse heating, the Earth's average temperature would be only about -73 C
(-100 F); even the oceans would be frozen under such conditions,such as the Moon and the Mars. MarsMoonWhat Are Greenhouse Gases? Some greenhouse gases occur naturally in the atmosphere, while others result from human activities. Naturally occuring greenhouse gases include water vapor, carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide, and ozone. Certain human activities, however, add to the levels of most of these naturally occurring gases . Owing to the rise in atmospheric carbon dioxide caused by modern industrial societies' widespread combustion of fossil fuels (coal, oil, and natural gas), the greenhouse effect on Earth may be intensified and long-term climatic changes may result. When faced with this question,
as individuals should recognize that collectively we can make a difference. What difference can we make?Individual Taking action on global warming (or climate change) is similar. In some cases, it only takes a little change in lifestyle and behavior to make some big changes in greenhouse gas reductions. For other types of actions, the changes are more significant. When that action is multiplied by the 1.3 billion people in the China. Or the 6 billion people worldwide, the savings are significant.Taking public transport like buses
can reduce greenhouse gas emissions And Taking train can also help a reduction
of greenhouse gas. The recycling symbol Buy the recycled productsRecycled productsRecycling the bottlesYour glass bottles could

Example 1 = to report that
1 Human beings are causing changes in the Earth’s climate.2 Gases pumped into the Earth’s atmospere have been
speeding up the process of global warming.to report that to claim that 5 Global warming will cause dramatic climate changes including more frequent floods ,heat waves, and droughts.3 Global warming could be one of the biggest
environmental problems facing the 21st century.
to believe that to insist that 4 Global warming is mostly due to human activities.to warn that Look at these sentences from the text and explain why the underlined verbs are not the same tense as the reporting verbs.1 Recent report from the IPCC warned that global warming will cause dramatic climate changes.2 Scientist found that the temperature of the Earth
is controlled by greenhouse gases.Because it is in the futureBecause it is a general truthMatch the sentences with appropriate reporting verbs from the list. Then write the reported sentences. admit,boast ,forbid ,inquire,invite,order,suggest,
