So how has this come about and does it matter?Para.1*Para.21.What conclusion can you make from the Graph1?The earth is becoming warmer.2.Who is to blame for the earths becoming warmer? It is human activity that has caused this global warming rather than a
8、 random but natural phenomenon.* Para.3 How do human affect the earth warming up?It is due to the burning of fossil fuels like coal, natural gas and oil to produce energy.2. What is greenhouse gases?Greenhouse gases are some byproducts of the process of producing energy, the most important one of wh
9、ich is carbon dioxide.*3. What is greenhouse effect? It is a natural phenomenon which happens when small amounts of gases in the atmosphere, like carbon dioxide, methane and water vapour, trap heat from the sun and therefore warm the earth.*4. What kind of problem does it begin when huge quantities
10、of extra carbon dioxide into the atmosphere?It means that more heat energy tends to be trapped in the atmosphere causing the global temperature to go up.*1. What conclusion can you get from Graph2? The levels of carbon dioxide have increased greatly over the last 100 to 150 years. 2. What did the sc
