What are the “greenhouse gases”? 4. What do you think greenhouse gases do? A greenhouse is made of glass and is used for growing plants, especially during cold weather.1. What is a greenhouse made of and used for?2. How does it work?The air inside is warm because the glass traps the heat from the sun and keeps it from escaping. This makes the greenhouse heat up and so the plants can grow throughout the cold period.3. What are the “greenhouse gases”? 4. What do you think greenhouse gases do?In the atmosphere surrounding the earth there are gases, which are called “greenhouse gases”, including carbon dioxide, methane(甲烷, 沼气) and water vapor.They trap heat from the sun and therefore warm the earth.What’s wrong with our earth?methaneCarbon dioxideWater vapourGreenhouse Effect The greenhouse effect is a naturally occurring process that aids in heating the Earth's surface and atmosphere. It results from the fact that certain atmospheric gases, such as carbon dioxide, water vapor, and methane, are able to change the energy balance of the planet by absorbing longwave radiation emitted from the Earth's surface. Without the greenhouse effect life on this planet would probably not exist. SO…The earth is becoming
warmer and warmer----

5. What is the main topic of the article?skimmingWho wrote the magazine article? What is the name of the magazine? Sophie Armstrong The name of the magazine is Earth Care.2. What are names of the three scientists mentioned in the text?They are Dr. Janice Foster, Charles Keeling and George Hambley.3. 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 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.It shows that the temperature increased one degree Fahrenheit from 1860 to 2000.4.What are the two graphs about?This graph shows the carbon dioxide content in the atmosphere increased steadily from 1957 to 1997.4. What is the main topic of the
article?
global warming/
the warming of the earth.The temperature in the last century didn’t increase much .
Everyone believes that global warming is caused by the activities of humans.

Natural gas is a greenhouse gas .
Carbon dioxide is a byproduct of burning fossil fuels.TTFTTscanningor6 People accept Charles Keeling’s data because he took accurate measurements .

All scientists subscribe to the view that the increase in the earth’s temperature is due to the burning of fossil fuels like coal,…
Some byproducts of this process are called “greenhouse” gases, the most important one of which is carbon dioxide.
4. There is a natural phenomenon that scientists call the “greenhouse effect”.
5. It means that more heat energy tends to be trapped in the atmosphere causing the global temperature to go up.
6. It was a scientist called Charles Keeling, who made accurate measurements of the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere from 1957 to 1997.
7. They also agree that it is the burning of more and more fossil fuels that has resulted in this increase in carbon dioxide.9. On the other hand, there are those, like George Hambley, who are opposed to this view, believe that we should not worry about high levels of carbon dioxide in the air .8. He says that over the next 100 years the amount of warming could be as low as 1 to 1.5 degrees Celsius, but it could be as high as 5 degrees.1. rather than 而不是……She is a career woman rather than a housewife.It ought to be you rather than me that sign the letter.2.
