Ancient animal and plant material below the surface of the earth with a high carbon content, such as coal, oil and natural gas, which can be burnt to produce energy. Also known as non-renewable energy because once they are used they have gone forever; they cannot be renewed.GreenhouseScanning
3.What are the names of the three scientists mentioned in the article?Sophie Armstrong, Earth Care.1. What is the main topic of the article?Global warming/ the warming of the earth.
2.Who wrote the magazine article? What is the name of the magazine?Dr Janice Foster, Charles Keeling, George Hambley.4. What do they think about global warming? Do they agree with one another?They don't agree with each other.
Dr. Janice Foster thinks the effects of global warming could be very serious.
George Hambley thinks global warming will be mild with few bad environmental consequences.
Charles Keeling believes it is the burning of more and more fossil fuels that is resulting in a big increase in carbon dioxide.
5. What are the two graphs about?
The first graph shows the temperature increase of one degree Fahrenheit between 1860 to 2000.
The second graph shows the carbon dioxide content in the atmosphere from 1957 to 1977.
Careful-reading1. The temperature last century didn’t increase much.
2. Everyone believes that global warming is caused by the activities of humans.
3. Janice Foster believes that global warming is caused by the burning fossil fuels.
4. Natural gas is a greenhouse gas.
5. Carbon dioxide is a byproduct of burning fossil fuels.
Read the passage carefully and judge whether the statements are true or false.TTFTT6. People accept Charles Keeling’s data because he took accurate measurements.
7. Flooding could be one of the effects of future global warming.
8. George Hambley believes scientists are just guessing about the effects of global warming.
9. George Hambley is worried about the effects of carbon dioxide on plant growth.
10. It is clear what the effects of global warming will be.FFTTT
1. How has the global warming come about?
2. What are the effects of global
warming?

Effects of global warming: The ice on top of the mountain is melting.The ice on the ocean is melting.The sea level is rising and the coastal cities will be flooded.Extreme weathers: hurricanes,droughts,etc.Think about the generations and so we want to make a better place for children
and the children’s children, so that they know it’s a better world for them and then they would make it a better place!
